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 Marston's Pedigree, in honor of today's Miss Throwdown.
Another big Big East BB weekend is upon us. There's a full slate including both Louisville men's and women's teams visiting the Coliseum tomorrow. Here's my plea for the students to be extra creative. Rick Pitino doesn't come to town that often. Help him remember it. I won't waste anymore time here because there's lots inside to cover. Remember, suggestions and requests are always welcomed. Have a great weekend everybody and stay warm!!
Let's GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
