After living a full life, Dick Vitale died. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded ACC flag in the window.
"This house is yours for eternity, Dickie," said God. "This is very special, not everyone gets a house up here."
Vitale felt special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up to the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3-story mansion with an Orange and Blue sidewalk, a 50 foot tall flagpole with an enormous Illini logo flag, and in every window, a white towel with a big block "I" on it.
Dickie looked at God and said, "God I'm not trying to be ungrateful, but I have a question. I was a great announcer, I made College Basketball great to watch,and my personality was one of a kind."
God said, "So what's your point, Dick?"
"Well, why does Bruce Weber get a better house than me?"
God chuckled and said, "Dick, that's not Weber's house, it's mine."
