Lee Corso was recently in Gainesville for a Florida football game when he noticed a ‘special phone’ near the Gators' bench. He asked Head Coach Billy Napier what it was used for and was told it was a ‘Hotline to God’. Lee asked if he could use it, Napier replied, “Sure, but it will cost you $200.” Lee scratched his head, but thought, “What the heck, I could use some help picking games.” He pulled out his wallet and paid $200. Lee's picks were spot-on that week.
The following week, Lee was in Tuscaloosa when he noticed the same phone on Alabama’s bench. He asked what the telephone was for and Nick Saban told him, “It's a Hotline to God. If you want to use it, it will cost you $500.” Recalling the previous week, Lee immediately pulled out his wallet and made the call. Again, Lee's picks were perfect. The next weekend, Lee was in Knoxville when he noticed the same telephone by the Vols' bench. He asked Josh Heupel, “Is that the Hotline to God?” Heupel replied, “Yes, and if you want to use it, it will cost you 50 cents.” Lee looked incredulously at Coach Heupel and said, "Wait a second, I just paid $200 at Florida and $500 at Alabama to use the same phone. Why do the Vols only charge 50 cents?" Coach Heupel replied, "Because in Knoxville, it's a local call...Welcome to God's Country."
