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 Chişinău Bere, in honor of today's Miss Throwdown.
Gotta love spring break for the news cycle. Regardless, we do have coverage of fullback Matt Lindamood leaving the team to go along with a couple other player features. On the recruiting front, WVU lost out on a prized in-state recruit, but has secured another as a preferred walk-on. On the hoops front, Coach Calhoun gives some insight on WVU's nearly finished OOC schedule and KJ will be signing some autographs this weekend. All of this, a Big 12 rundown and more...
