Welcome, By-Godders, to the Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU's best place for sports links, information and daily distractions. We're being brought to you today by Sagres, in honor of today's Miss Throwdown.
Huggs leads the men into DePaul territory tonight. Will the second half of Saturday's win carry over? We shall see. There's a great article/interview by WVIllustrated's Geoff Coyle inside. Let's just say Mr. Brunetti should get used to this kind of attention. Tips, suggestions and requests always make my day. See you after the jump...

Miss Throwdown:
Today's Miss Throwdown is best known for her stint as hostess of E!'s Wild on... series and winning Dancing with the Stars. This body has given birth to four children. Here's the always lovely, Brooke Burke. (DWTS vids at the top, gallery at the bottom of the page linked).

That 3/4 empty arena didn’t get me all that fired up, but HUGGS’ face during that intro is the number one reason why I will always love this guy.

The Basketball Intro
Looks (and sounds) a lot like DougityDog’s Devine video. Did he make the bball into too or was his video just the inspiration for it? Congrats to DD if he did.

odds
What do you think the odds of having two people named Cam on the same basketball team are?
by Oregon Mountaineer on Jan 26, 2010 1:41 PM EST reply actions 0 recs
Probably about the same as me having 2 guys named Pierre on my fantasy football team this year.

Cameron was a fairly popular (Top 50) baby name in the 90’s. So, pretty good odds.
Once a Mountaineer, always a Mountaineer.

Who the fuck is the black guy calling this game...
He’s the biggest fucking dumbass I’ve ever heard in my life. Heads up to networks…just because they are former basketball players does not mean they’re decent commentators.

That'd be Dickie Simpkins....
…and somehow that name is just perfect, ain’t it? Ex-Providence player and resident-Moron.
AND
…are you kidding me. Has Brooke Burke had four kids? And is that body AFTER the four kids?
Now is the time boys to make a big noise.
No matter what the people say,
For there is naught to fear, the gang's all here,
So hail West Virginia, hail.
