Somebody needs to check on who had access to those shoes. My wife says it was a fix for betting purposes. I never thought about that possibility until she brought it up. Makes sense to me.

I don't think there's much way for some yahoo to weaken a pair of shoes like that without leaving some marks or obvious evidence, unless it was done by a professional cobbler. Conspiracy theory, imo.

Pure random event, I'd say.

Are you saying that it's outside the realm of possibility that someone with nefarious intentions towards Zion's shoes wouldn't have access to a good cobbler?

Bookmakers, rival shoe companies, Tarheel fans, Putin. Everyone's a suspect.

haha yeah sure, maybe. I may be naive, but I just think the likelihood of conspiracy is maybe .5%, and coincidence being 99.5%.

About Us

GoPaladins.com is the latest iteration of The Unofficial Furman Football Page. Launched in August of 1996, The UFFP welcomes fans of all FCS football teams - and fans of the more inferior sports, too - for discussion, cameraderie, and even the occasional smack talk.

For example, Furman has nearly twice as many Southern Conference football championships as the next best SoCon member, and over three times as many as The Citadel....which is why they must carry our luggage
