The Shotgun/Throwdown: Tuesday (5/11/10) Edition

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 Camerons Strong Arm Ruby Red Ale, in honor of today's Miss Throwdown.

Conference expansion talk is again the big news of the day.  Plenty of denials are going around, but, as they say, where there's smoke...  If you have any tips, suggestions or requests, you can send them to me by email or Tweet me.  Enjoy your Tuesday.  Time to jump...
