The Shotgun/Throwdown: Thursday (4/15/10) Edition

1015711256126389_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 Xingu, in honor of today's Miss Throwdown.

Spring practice continues and I've got most (if not all) of the coverage covered.  I appreciate any tips, suggestions and requests and now you can follow me on Twitter: @WVUIE97.  See you after the jump...

"After spending two years waiting in line behind current Dophins QB Pat White, Brown was handed the starting job at West Virginia for the '09 season. Brown has great arm strength, but needs to improve his decision-making, drawing comparisons to Tavaris Jackson of the Vikings."

didn't mean to offend...

just trying to get some talk going on here…not a very big mountaineer sports news day.

i like the idea of the 29 on the helmet. i would expect nothing less from a man like Coach Stewart. i don’t think he’s the best coach in the world, but he’s darn sure a great person (for more reasons than this)

I got two seconds into that funny or die video and poked my eyes out.

I hate her and that tool of a boyfriend

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