The Shotgun/Throwdown: Monday (12/21/09) Edition

Adnamsa4_landscape_board_medium

Welcome, By-Godders, to the Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU's best place for sports links, information and some daily distractions.  Today we're being brought to you by Adnams Spindrift, in honor of today's Miss Throwdown.

It's Christmas week and most of us are recovering from the weekend snow.  Football practice started up again and both basketball teams won over the weekend.  The women did it in convincing fashion and the men blew a 17 point lead to win with an improbably easy layup with a second to spare.  Your tips, suggestions and requests are always helpful.  See you after the jump...

MSN is not democratic in its selection.

We let the people vote on the decade’s best. Stupid dictators

I agree

I too..

Agree. But the idiotic comments at the bottom make me want to pull my hair out! I really wish they would stop reading stuff about WVU football. Because it sounds like they just hate the program. If they dont like whats going on in Morgantown then just hitch hike your way up to Pittsburgh.

by ShadyMountaineer on Dec 21, 2009 2:09 PM EST up reply actions  

Yep

While a number of people on here take a negative view on the program, a lot of them are fair in their analysis. On the Daily Mail and gazette sites, the people are just morons.

You should see the Journal Junction someday

in the Martinsburg paper. People write in and say the most stupidest things you have ever seen. (and yes, I meant to do the double mostest, for emphasis).
