The Shotgun/Throwdown: Tuesday (8/31/10) Edition

Slyfox2_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 Sly Fox beer, in honor of today's Miss Throwdown.

It's Gamecon 4.  By the time you read this, I'll (hopefully) already be in the air.  I clipped as much as I could yesterday and posted those.  I also posted several generic links to my most "fruitful" gathering places of articles and videos.  Remember:  No S/T on Wednesday.  Hump Day will be posted early in it's stead.  If you have any tips, suggestions or requests, you can send them to me by email or Twitter.  See you after the jump...

T-minus 4 and counting...

Can't wait to see

The Pro Combat uni’s. I just hope they arn’t the ones that have been floating around (The all gold with the white helmet) I like the white helmet but the gold uni’s made me wanna puke.

the one you described

is highly doubtful. This years teams were set up around rivalries. Therefore with the Brawl being at Pitt, its a safe assumption that ours will be an away uniform, ie white shirts. BTW this is live from NY and I’m not wasting any more time. Looks like the schedule of events won’t allow for posting until maybe lunchtime, but more likely after 1pm.

that's what I figured

but then again we did wear the gold jersey with white pants against FSU. Who knows? I’m excited either way. It’s going to be nothing but positive for everything including recruiting.
