The Shotgun/Throwdown: Thursday (9/23/10) Edition

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 Adnams Broadside, in honor of today's Miss Throwdown.

I sincerely apologize for the lack of commentary today. Your coverage today focuses on LSU's Patrick Peterson. Who, depending on what you choose to believe, could be another Mardy Gilyard or even Deion Sanders. Neither comparisons bode well for WVU, but, we shall see. All of the usual is inside for your perusal. I will be starting weekly Game Watch posts tomorrow, so if you know of one and haven't yet, email me the details. If you have any tips, suggestions or requests for content that you think is worth sharing, you can send them to me by email or Twitter. See you after the jump...
