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 Ballast Point's Porter Black Marlin.
Spring Drills continue today and tomorrow for the WVU football team. After a week of almost dedicated coverage of the new offense (probably rightly so), we're finally getting some news on the defensive side of the ball. Not to worry, there's still plenty of coverage of the offense to sate you. Have a great weekend everyone!!
