Around SBN: Indy 500: 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing' Set For Sunday

The Shotgun/Throwdown: Tuesday (11/2/10) Edition

3663975184_c4bee64860_medium

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 Skull Splitter Ale because I wanted to go with something different.  We could use a Skull Splitter coaching the OL right now, BTW.

SO...(pause for effect)...Stew wants to do a complete evaluation of the program.  Any good IE will tell you that if you want your program (be it business, sports team, what have you) to improve, this is an absolute ONGOING must.  The fact that this is just now happening is very disturbing to me.  I'm gonna leave it at that...for now.  At least he finally pointed the finger at himself (after how many weeks?).  If you have any tips, suggestions or requests for content that you think is worth sharing, you can send them to me by email or Twitter and don't forget to "LIKE" the Smoking Musket MAIN PAGE on Facebook (follow this link, then hit "LIKE").  All of the day's coverage is after the jump...

"A complete evaluation of the program"

It has been my experience this commonly occurs when the boss is being evaluated. I imagine, especially if our current play continues, it will come down to Mullen and maybe Beatty leaving or HCBS going, so to “evaluate” the program, I would guess, has came directly from HIS evaluation. “TCB” Ollie, Takin Care of Business!
