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 San Diego Brewing Company, in honor of today's Miss Throwdown.
The women are back in action tonight, as they take on the San Diego St. Aztecs for a berth into the Sweet Sixteen. I have previews for that to go along with the usual plethora of men's coverage. I love getting tips, suggestions and requests. Don't forget to vote for berths into the Exotic Eight. See you after the jump...

Today's Miss Throwdown is kind of a throwback, but, as you will see from the gallery, she's still got it. Here's one of the original Victoria's Secret models and the bride from the November Rain video. It's Axl's ex, Stephanie Seymour.

covered the same thing

didn’t mean to be a complete smart-ass…just a little one
Chipotle
I’m as big a Chipotle fan as anyone. No really, ask anyone who knows me. I ate there 3 times a week in undergrad. The workers there, and at my current Chipotle, know me by name. Yet there is something very very dangerous about eating Chipotle on gamedays. Just this past year, I can attribute the Cincinnati loss in football and the home loss to Villanova on Big Monday directly to my consumption of Chipotle before the games. So for the sake of the Mounties, I, too, avoid Chipotle like the plague on gamedays.
There's a Chipotle near you?
Maybe in Hagerstown?

about a 2 miles from work
in Hagerstown, yes. If they ever put one in Martinsburg (which I’m hoping for), I’ve resigned myself to the fact that they’ll put it away from me at the south end, where everything else seems to be going.
I've been to that Chipotle.
Nice little patio setup they have going.

Speaking of Chipotle.
You see Steve Slaton’s tweet today about Chiptole burritos? He knows what’s up!
