Lee Corso was recently in Tuscaloosa for an Alabama football game when he noticed a ‘special phone’ near the Bama bench. He asked Head Coach Nick Saban what it was used for and was told it was a ‘Hotline to God’. Lee asked if he could use it, Saban 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 Miami when he noticed the same phone on the Hurricanes bench. He asked what the telephone was for and Mark Richt 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 Iowa City when he noticed the same telephone by the Hawkeye bench. He asked Kirk Ferentz, “that the Hotline to God?” Kirk replied, “Yes, and if you want to use it, it will cost you 50 cents.” Lee looked incredulously at Ferentz and said, "Wait a second, I just paid $200 at Alabama and $500 at Miami to use the same phone. Why do the Hawks only charge 50 cents?" Kirk replied, "Because in Iowa City it's a local call...Welcome to God's Country."
