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 Dreher beer, in honor of today's Miss Throwdown.

WVi has a nice feature continuing their series on the basketball practice facility.

Kansas State's Frank Martin has left Manhattan for South Carolina. There's a couple of football notes inside as well. All of this and more...
