Good morning, folks! Welcome to The Rundown, a new daily feature where I’ll be sharing some of the most relevant stories of the day to help you stay up-to-date on what’s going on in the world of Mountaineer sports.
”But, Michael,” you’ll say, “isn’t that what the Shotgun/Throwdown was? Why can’t you just bring that back!?”
I’ll be completely transparent here; The Shotgun/Throwdown became increasingly difficult to write due to a couple factors. For one, the changing landscape in sports journalism led to many of the sources from which we pulled stories drying up. If you didn’t notice, my last (failed) attempt to keep the Throwdown going ended up basically being an advertisement for Chris Anderson and Mike Casazza at EerSports.
