Welcome, By-Godders, to the Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU's best place for sports links, information and a bit of entertainment. Today we're being brought to you by Layla Dirty Blonde Lager in honor of today's Miss Throwdown.
The men and women both get back into action tomorrow as basketball gets back into the swing of things all around the country. There's a full slate of BE ranked teams in action. Football starts practice again for the bowl tomorrow as well, which means news there should pick up a bit next week. If you're anywhere where snow is being called for, stay warm and be careful if you have to go out. There's plenty to keep you warm in this edition. Suggestions and requests are always encouraged. Have a safe and great weekend!!! Let's GOOOOOOOO...........

Recruiting Decommit
I saw on The Sporting News this morning that Pahokee DT Richard Ash has switched his commitment from WVU to Michigan. I wonder if this has anything to do with Doc and JaJuan Seider going to Marshall.
from what I've read, no
It has more to do with the assholes up north negative recruiting us. Ash took an official up there as soon as he committed to us. There seems to be a pointed effort up there to go after every single one of our offers. I’m not being paranoid or obsessed with our former coach/staff, this is coming from those in the know. And because of this, those (staff) up there will likely never be welcomed back to Morgantown anytime soon.
bar and the xmas light thing=
EPIC WIN

Pat Forde is an
IDIOT, picking FSU 35, WVU 34. He’s crazy. Yeah they might want to send Bowden off on a good note but thier D is terrible. And by what I saw of their frosh QB during the Florida game, he’s nothing to worry about either. Especially the way our D has been playing of late. Christian Ponder may have made it a little closer but still don’t think they’d get the W.
