The Shotgun/Throwdown: Tuesday (7/27/10) Edition

Molson_20golden_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 Molson Golden, in honour (see what I did there?) of today's Miss Throwdown.

Summer training is winding down and the excitement is building already.  Lot's of player videos and your usual smattering of articles inside.  Several countdowns continue as well.  If you have any tips, suggestions or requests, you can send them to me by email or Tweet me.  See you after the jump...

media guide

So, where can one obtain a media guide?

well...

They are usually offered on my season ticket renewal form through the ticket office. You might be able to get them at the official team shop at the Coliseum, not sure. I can’t find it on the online ticket office as a stand alone product, but I would suggest calling 1-800-WVU-GAME and asking the ticket office. If nothing else, they should be able to point you in the right direction, if they can’t sell it to you directly.

I think I've seen them at convenience stores around Morgantown.

But of course that won’t help you if you don’t live in Morgantown.

this was just tweeted by WVSportsBuzz (official WVU Athletics Twitter):

“Order your copy of the 2010 football guide by calling the Mountaineer Ticket Office at 1-800-WVU GAME.”
