The Shotgun/Throwdown: Wednesday (8/19/09) Edition

Welcome, By-Godders, to the Wednesday edition of the Shotgun/Throwdown, brought to you today by Castle Lager, South Africa's most recognizable beer.
It just feels good to say "By-Godders." I get chills, or dare I say, a tingling sensation down.....nevermind. Or is it Miss Throwdown who does that? I'm soooo confused!!!! The party begins after the jump.
Remember, as always, the tipline.

Lots of Amusing Stuff!
WVUIE97…you rockin’ the throwdown.
I had to spend three weeks in South Africa a few years back (in fact, I missed the WVU-Miami game where Quincy made his magnificent run and Winslow broke our hearts on 4th-and-forever), and there were hot, friendly women everywhere in the concertina-wire encircled compound where our hotel was. But Castle sucks. In fact, I never found a beer in SA that I liked, and being the drunkard I am, I tried about a dozen, the best being Windhoek – a beer brewed in Namibia. They don’t import anything alcoholic from the rest of western civiliazation – a holdover from apartheid when they were forced into self-sufficiency by trade restrictions…so they make their own beer, wine, and all spirits…if you ask for a Bacardi and Coke, you get a Red Heart and Coke. They make some great wines, though.
I, too, am glad that Pitt did not accept the crazy’s money. And, how pathetic is NMSU football?
thanks
like I said yesterday, I’ll try to add content through the morning as I come across it. I just added another story about Austin.
and I would be completely remissed
if I didn’t mention the help with links I’ve been getting from Charley. Thank you Charley.
It’s the links that make this thing go, so send in your tips.

i’m glad that you put all the information at the top and her picture at the bottom. i would have had a tough time concentrating had i seen the picture first. very tough to balance a keyboard on your lap after seeing a picture like that (think about it long and hard).
keep posting all this info…i get on the recruiting websites every day and it’s good to know that all i have to do is get on here and i get more info than i would have gotten by just going to those sites. won’t be long until you’re holding up the louisville flag again!!! (not literally, of course!) you da man, IE97!
