God Plays Favorites


After former Florida coach Steve Spurrier passes away
and enters the Pearly Gates, God takes him on a tour.
He shows Steve a little 2-bedroom house with a faded
University of Florida banner hanging from the front
porch. "This is your home, Coach. Most people don't
get their own house up here," God explains.

Steve looks at the house, then turns around and looks
at the one sitting on the top of the hill. It's a huge
2-story mansion with white marble columns and little
patios under all of the windows. LSU flags line both
sides of the sidewalk with a huge purple and gold LSU
banner hanging between the marble columns.  "Thanks
for the home, God, but let me ask you a question. How
come I get this little 2-bedroom house with a faded
University of Florida banner,  and Nick Saban gets a
mansion with new LSU banners and flags flying all Over
the place,  Why is that?"

God looks at him seriously for a moment and then
replies,  "That's not Saban's house, that's mine."


Geaux Tigers!
