Welcome, By-Godders, to The Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU’s best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor, and daily distractions.

“I wish I would have never left the first time.”

That’s what Emmitt Matthews said when discussing his decision to leave West Virginia at the end of the 2020-21 basketball season. After one season with Washington, Matthews has returned to WVU for his final college season.

Bob Huggins warned Matthews that his move in the transfer portal might not work out how he wanted, but Huggins has welcomed Emmitt back to the team.
