The Shotgun/Throwdown: Friday (2/19/10) Edition

Skyscraperlogo-beige_medium

Welcome, By-Godders, to the Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU's best place for sports links, information and daily distractions; Now nationally recognized!  We're being brought to you today by Skyscraper Brewing Company, in honor of today's Miss Throwdown.

This has been a really slow week for articles from the usual sources for some reason.  Anywhooo... The men are back in action at home tomorrow against an improved Seton Hall team.  Improved from the team that almost beat us the first time, no less.  In women's action, WVU travels to Tampa to take on the Bulls tomorrow afternoon.  There's a full slate of BE BB to keep you occupied too.  Keep the tips, suggestions and requests coming.  I'm off to Tobacco Road.  Have a great weekend!!!  All the fun starts after the jump...

Let's GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet nobody calls The Logo a hoopie.

The quote on page two of that article on West is pretty good.

I'm sorry I let you down...

I apologize that I have been studying hard for the bar over the last couple weeks and have not been around to entertain you. The test is tomorrow and Wednesday and I will then be intoxicate the rest of the week but will be back Monday. Also, I will have a lot of content next week to make up for my lack of recent postings.

You do realize that you can create your own content in the fanpost and fanshot sections if you get really bored. I guess that would be asking too much of you though. I don’t want you to get carpel tunnel. Is that a tort? Oh shit, I’m going to fail. Back to studying but before I go just let me say.

I am SOOOO sorry that I have let you down. What you think of this blog really means a lot to, so please accept my sincere apology. I don’t know if I will be able to take the test tomorrow because I am so distraught over your feelings.

Leave no doubt tonight! Leave no doubt tonight! No doubt! They shouldn't of played the Old Gold'n Blue.

The only way they can redeem themselves...

1) Have 2 Hump Days in one week
2) Have 2 Hump Days in one week
3) Personally contact Latwan Anderson and get him to sign with WVU

Jasper Howard had his little sisters' names tatooed on his chest. His friends say it was a constant reminder of why he was at U Conn _ to provide his family with a better life than the one he had in Miami's Little Haiti. (AP Photo/Mel Evans, File) link
