The Shotgun/Throwdown: Wednesday (10/13/10) Edition

Flying_dog_dogtoberfest_medium

Welcome, By-Godders, to the Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU's nationally recognized best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor and daily distractions.  We're being brought to you today by Flying Dog's Dogtoberfest, because Country Roads dared me, it still is and it's close enough.

It's B.J. day here at the Musket.  Oh, grow up!  I'm talking about USF's QB Daniels (but, yeah...I went there).  Game previews are all over the place as well.  And it's official:  Jeremy Johnson is leaving WVU (not that it was a shock at this point).  Also, head over to Voodoo Five (USF's blog) for more coverage.  If you have any tips, suggestions or requests for content that you think is worth sharing, you can send them to me by email or Twitter and don't forget to "LIKE" the Smoking Musket on Facebook.  Come on people, spread the word, we only have 59 fans right now...I know there are more than that out there that read this and have FB accounts...a lot more.  Over the hump and follow the jump...

Dogtoberfest counts.

It’s quite a challenge for you, so I’m going to give you some leeway here.

Also, if I’m a cop and I’m arresting Pacman Jones, it’s going to take an awful lot to convince me that the Adam Jones I pulled up in the NCIS database as showing an outstanding warrant isn’t the Bengals CB.

When I Read: "Johnson To Leave WVU"

I seriously thought Dave Johnson and how happy that headline will make some people…

Sorry to see the kid leave, but I don’t blame him. Hell, it is still kind of recruiting triumph to me that we got him to come here. I am sure he will land on his feet at some Texas school…he would fit in well, where….Baylor?

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.
