The Shotgun/Throwdown: Thursday (12/3/09) Edition
Welcome, By-Godders, to the Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU's best place for sports links, information and entertainment. Today we're being brought to you by Ursus, in honor of today's Miss Throwdown. Even when I'm not trying, the red & gold label pops up.
This is eerie. There's plenty of news and such about this game, but it just feels quiet and that gives me an uneasy feeling (hopefully it's just this head cold I'm fighting). I'm heading up to NJ tomorrow. Anybody else going to the game? The tipline is open, as always. Let's get going...

Video of Interest:
This video is making the rounds and I'm pretty sure for the wrong reason. Based on the old "Freeze" play we used to run at WVU when Trickett was here, my guess is this one lineman is the only one who did what he was supposed to do.
