The Great Tar Heels Foot Debate

A word to the wise. If you happen upon the corner of the locker room where William Graves, Quentin Thomas and Mike Copeland sit, bring a very thick skin. Egos are deflated and chops busted on a regular basis.

Today's topic was originally Graves' feet. But Graves deftly deflected attention to the feet of Marcus Ginyard.

"Ask (Ginyard) why he kicks bricks all day long," Thomas suggested.

So, I dutifully went over to Ginyard and did just that.

"I think I have great feet," Ginyard said. "But (Thomas) doesn't like anything about them. He says I have the ugliest feet on the team. That's false. I have some rough ones, but mine are not the worst."

Easy follow-up question. Who has the worst?

"Tywon Lawson."

Off I went to get Lawson's rebuttal.

"He has like claws, they're all rolled up," Lawson said. "My toenails just have different colors. They're a little brown. His are worse."

The next step then was to put this up for debate to the entire locker room.

Thomas remained adamant that Ginyard had the worst feet.

"It's like he's been jump roping on glass ... They look like he's trying to use chopsticks with his feet."

Bobby Frasor came to the defense of his roommate, Ginyard. Actually he just took a shot at Lawson.

"Ty's toes look like he painted them with black toe polish."

Danny Green took the middle ground, dissing the feet of both Ginyard and Lawson.

"Ty has the worst looking toenails," Green said. "Marcus has the worst looking foot structure."

"They're kind of like claws, eagle's or raptor's claws."

The debate raged on until Thomas suggested it be put to a vote on ESPN.com's Sports Nation. Oh, and some of the older guys said Jackie Manuel had really bad feet as well.

What does this have to do about tomorrow's big game? Absolutely nothing, but we just felt you should know.
