Jesus on speed dial

Hampton head coach Edward Joyner apparently needed an answer quick.

He therefore didn’t call upon Jesus by praying (so 1st century), but instead chose to press the speed-dial button on a cell phone.

Jesus apparently answered, but it was not necessarily the response that Joyner wanted.  According to a video shown on College Spun, the line went dead shortly after Joyner posed a question regarding Hampton’s chances against Kentucky.

One can only imagine Jesus thinking:  “Who does this coach think he is?  I don’t have time for such frivolous pursuits.  Too busy saving the world, not the team.”

Perhaps Joyner should try some old-fashioned knee bending.  Who knows?  It might work a whole lot better than today’s technology.
