Welcome, By-Godders, to the Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU's best place for sports links, information and daily distractions. Today we're being brought to you by Wachusett Winter Ale.
Wow, what a finish last night!!! Huggs looked wore out in the post-game interview. Lots and lots of Gator prep and BB news inside. Today is kind of a video day on the Shotgun/Throwdown. Tips, suggestions and requests are always helpful. See you after the jump...
