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 Boont Amber Ale, in honor of today's Miss Throwdown.
Well that sucked. Until we start making regular shots with regularity.... GRRR. We need to put Pitt in their rightful place to keep that #4 ranking...and that might not even do it. At least we get the new SI Swimsuit issue today. Plenty of recaps inside. Brace for more snow and keep the tips, suggestions and requests coming. See you after the jump...
