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 Zulia, in honor of today's Miss Throwdown.
There's still a bit of leftovers of coverage from the spring drills. I'm still gonna keep you guys occupied here daily for the next couple weeks, at least. I think, after graduation ceremonies that this is gonna become a weekly (or bi-weekly, depending on the flow of news) edition for the duration of summer, at least until FB practice starts up again. Email your tips, suggestions and requests or Tweet me. Time to do the jump thing...
