Before he died, Billy Graham was returning to Charlotte after a speaking engagement and when his plane arrived there was a limousine waiting to transport him to his home. As he prepared to get into the limo, he stopped and spoke to the driver .
"You know," he said, "I am 87 years old and I have never driven a limousine. Would you mind if I drove it for a while?"The driver said, "No problem. Be my guest!"
Billy gets into the driver's seat and they head off down the highway. A short distance away sat a rookie State Trooper operating his first speed trap.The long black limo went by him doing 70 in a 55 mph zone. The trooper pulled out and easily caught the limo and he got out of his patrol car to begin the procedure.
The young trooper walked up to the driver's door and when the glass was rolled down, he was surprised to see who was driving.
He immediately excused himself and went back to his car and called his supervisor.
He told the supervisor, "I know we are supposed to enforce the law, but I also know that important people are given certain courtesies. I need to know what I should do because I have stopped a very important person."
The supervisor asked, "Is it the governor?" The young trooper said, "No, he's more important than that." The supervisor said, "Oh, so it's the president." The young trooper said, "No, he's even more important than that."
The supervisor finally asked, "Well then, who is it?"The young trooper said...
"I think it's Jesus, because he's got Billy Graham for a chauffeur!"
Can’t say I am not disappointed. I kind of liked him, but not judging for this decision. It will be very interesting to see how he does. I’m not sure many fans outside of Baton Rouge will be rooting for him though. 🤷🏼♂️
My interview with @Lane_Kiffin prior to his departure from Oxford to Baton Rouge.
•Why he chose LSU over Ole Miss
•Why he wasn’t in Sunday’s Ole Miss team meeting
•His response to not coaching Ole Miss in the playoff
•Why this took so long
•Peter Carroll’s important msg
@PGATUOR So much good stuff here, but I hate to spoil it because those prices were that way for so long, but domestic is 4 and import was 5 as of last year. Everything else is maybe a buck higher. Still a great deal though. I prefer the egg salad myself.
@dannykanell@DustyDvoracek First of all, love the show (Dusty and Danny in the morning) and listen every day. Considering how much we all hate the snub of FSU, do we hold our nose and actually root for Michigan against Bama? Wow, not sure who I want to win that matchup.
@Nachos_Analysis Have to say, knowing Darius, he really hates Clemson, but none of these things are true. His version of Wagon Wheel is very good. His country stardom brought back Hootie. Personally not a fan of MB, but have had many a good time there, especially in a $50/night hotel room in 1986

“The word says who Jesus is, He’s knocking on the door, all you gotta do is get up.”
This is a powerful story told by Saints linebacker @demario__davis. A must watch!
@ClemsonRT I know we beat ourselves Monday night, but I just don’t see the pieces we need to win more than 8 games this year. It starts with letting Riley run his offense, not the Clemson offense (Dabo mentioned) that everyone knows like the back of their hand by now.
@MDavidHood Why the announcement about the portal then? Dismissing someone for valid reasons happens at Clemson…but yes, I am sure Georgia will snatch him up quickly.
