    Jeebus wouldn't begrudge a guy a $5K pool table, would He?

    $5,000 is the going rate for a pool table, a good one at least.

    and every time I hear about Oral Roberts I think of the Sam Kinision skit.

    When they beat KU in hoops last year a co-worker of mine quite seriously attributed it to God's will.

    God likes to bet the dog and take the points.

    Particularly Big XII teams in non-conference road games. The house hates it when God calls in his picks. Sometimes they try to act like God has the wrong number. Of course, He's not fooled.

    Thankfully, God has a prediliction for 10-game doyles, and, as everyone knows, not even God can win a 10-team doyle.

    There's lots of naughtiness at that institution. They didn't call the old man "Oral" for nothing.
