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 Chodovar Beer, in honor of today's Miss Throwdown. And that is actually a beer bath, BTW. Evidently they run a "beer spa." I smell a Euro-Trip coming.
Today is an unofficial video day here at the S/T as there are several embeds and lots of links to them. If any of them aren't working, please leave a comment and I have a couple options for the ones that may not work (I really can't tell if it's the sites or my P.O.S. computer here at work). If you have any tips, suggestions or requests, you can send them to me by email or Tweet me. Enjoy your weekend!!! After the jump is where it all happens...

I KNOW!!!!!
It’s been amazing, the random things I’ve discovered by doing this posting for the last year
UConn
I’m tellin ya, do not underestimate them this year. They are going to be legit, and we’re going to have our hands full up there on a Friday night.
Please...
They are the new Rutgers. Always about ready to turn the corner but they break down.
Leave no doubt tonight! Leave no doubt tonight! No doubt! They shouldn't of played the Old Gold'n Blue.

Completely agree w/ 5YS
UCONN is always supposed to be “legitimate this year”…..

After they dismantled South Carolina in their bowl, they deserve some credit from the media.
I think we are going to have a great year, but much of the general public is going to look at the loss to FSU and the fact that we have a new QB and just assume we won’t be as good. That being said, I think we’re better than UConn and that we should (and will) beat them, but it’s not going to be a cakewalk. People dismiss teams like UConn and Cincy out of hand because they don’t have the history or name brand that others have. To me, that’s a mistake. Those teams have as much or more NFL talent than WVU does (at least based on the last few drafts).
Also, I don’t think anyone has ever expected UConn to be all that great. But to me, they’ve earned some respect. Winning @ Notre Dame and smacking USC shows me they can win away from home. If they win @ Michigan this year (which they should), that will garner a lot of respect in the minds of the general public. And when we go up there on a Friday night, that place is going to be rocking. We still have a target on our backs, much like we did in 2007 @ USF and 2008 @ ECU. I promise it won’t be an easy win.

Regarding O'Neil's ESPN article, and Huggs
GREAT article, and great reference, thanks.
One quote in particular stood out as very much along the Huggins’ sense of humor:
“However, the silly bump rule can get downright dirty if taken to the extreme. Most of the NCAA reps are women, and women can’t go into men’s rooms. There’s a real paranoia that some coaches are following prospects or their coaches or parents into the restrooms to broker deals.
“I don’t know. I’ve never won a recruit in the bathroom,‘’ one coach said. "Maybe I need to pee more.’’"
