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 Ballast Point's Wahoo Wheat Beer.
It's kinda quiet on the WVU news front today, but not to worry...I have plenty inside to keep you occupied. Plus, there's always the usual time wasters at the bottom. I've also included a NCAA viewing guide for the games that are scheduled so far.
