Welcome, By-Godders, to the Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU's best place for sports links, information and daily distractions; Now nationally recognized! We're being brought to you today by No. 40 Heartbreak Ale (I think it's self explanatory).
Friday night didn't happen. It just didn't happen. But if it did happen, I'm glad the date was mid-February and not March. At least the women held he Hoyas to 23% shooting yesterday and the Rifle team keeps on winning. Please take special note of the last item in WYMHM and contact your state senators and representatives and express your outrage over this budget line item. Tips, suggestions and requests are always welcomed. It's all here, after the jump...
