The Shotgun/Throwdown: Big Monday (2/8/10) 'Nova Gameday Edition

Ichnusa2_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 Ichnusa, in honor of today's Miss Throwdown.

This is great.  Playing in a top conference, when highly ranked...the stakes keep getting higher and higher.  That said, the men have another big one tonight.  We might even be ranked as high as 3rd when the polls are released later today.  I certainly hope the weather doesn't keep the fans away tonight...it should bee a doozy.  Send in your tips, suggestions and requests.  It all starts after the jump...

Miss Throwdown:

Today's Miss Throwdown is another example of why Italian women are held in such high regard, at least by me.  She's a Sardinia born model famous for her appearances in the Italian television show Striscia la notizia.  I presentare superbamente Giorgia Palmas.

let's make this clear...

i love boobs as much as the next guy. maybe even more. i just feel that the writers on this website (WVUIE97, my boy, included) have worked extremely hard to get nationally recognized. trust me, every miss throwdown gets fully searched on Yahoo with safesearch off on my computer. and i have absolutely no problem clicking on the picture of miss throwdown and getting a faceful of giant hooters. (one of these days my 3-D glasses will come in handy!) i’m thinking, though, that having readily accessible nipple shots like today and last week, may make CNNSI less likely to keep us nationally recognized. that being said, i am extremely pumped that you guys are getting the credit nationally that you deserve. no one does it better than the smoking musket!!!!!!

PS – LET’S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…

I have never, intentionally

included overt nudity in the Miss Throwdown…(a couple have slipped because I didn’t scan the galleries thoroughly enough, and I apologize for that). The nipple shot today is no worse than some of the SI swimsuit editions. Expect no changes from me.

the only change

is that I’ll definitely scrutinize the galleries more….last week was an accident

Bow down to the man!

Become like other lame blogs and do it for the sake of publicity! It’s not my blog, but IMO, all the good people find their way here anyway, no need to change just to try and fit into CNNSI’s world
