The Shotgun Throwdown is our daily open thread, a place to keep tabs on what’s happening throughout the day.

This is your space to talk through the stuff that pops up throughout the day (and night) — news, rumors, random thoughts, questions, complaints, celebrations, anything you think feels worth talking about. I’ll be dropping in anything newsworthy as the day unfolds.

West Virginia news, Big 12 chatter, realignment whispers, recruiting nuggets, coaching rumors, portal watch, TV schedule griping, or just whatever’s bouncing around your head — it’s all fair game here.
