The season Dennis Franchione had to have in order to save his job
never materialized, pulling the plug on the Coach Fran era after
five forgettable seasons. After starting the year 5-1 against sub
par competition, the Aggies retreated once the schedule got tougher,
finishing 2-5, including an Alamo Bowl loss to Penn State. Texas
A&M was only able to get so far with one of the nation's top rushing
attacks, needing more from a toothless defense that couldn't stop
opposing quarterbacks or make enough plays behind the line.
Offensive Player of the Year: QB Stephen McGee
Defensive Player of the Year: DE Chris Harrington
Biggest Surprise: After going six straight seasons without
beating Texas, Texas A&M has now won two straight against its bitter
rival. Playing their best game of the year, the Aggies amassed 533
yards of offense behind a career passing day from McGee to outpunch
the Longhorns, 38-30.
Biggest Disappointment: In a marquee opportunity to pick up
some national swagger, A&M barely showed up in a Thursday night game
with Miami. Looking like the same old Aggies, they fell behind 31-0
and managed only 240 yards of offense before scoring a couple of
meaningless touchdowns against the Hurricane backups.
Looking Ahead: The job of lighting a fire under the program
now belongs to Mike Sherman, a former Aggie assistant who's spent
much of the last decade in the NFL. Although the returns of McGee
and backs Jorvorskie Lane and Mike Goodson should bring the new
coach comfort, they won't help depth issues on both lines that are
going to crop up in 2008.

Texas A&M 38 ... Texas 30
Texas A&M got out to a 17-0 lead on a 35-yard pass play to
Mike Goodson and a five-yard T.J. Sanders run, but it was two big
pass plays in less than three minutes early in the fourth quarter
that put the game away. Stephen McGee ran for a six-yard touchdown
with 49 seconds to play in the third quarter, but Texas answered
with a 91-yard kickoff return for a score from Quan Cosby. Just nine
seconds into the fourth, McGee and Goodson hooked up for a 44-yard
score, and on A&M's next drive, McGee connected with Earvin Taylor
for a 66-yard bolt of lightning for an insurmountable 21-point lead.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
Dennis Franchione will leave disappointing legacy of failed
expectations and an inability to take the program to another level,
but there will be a soft spot in the hearts of many Aggie fans for
what he was able to pull off against Texas for two straight years.
Ask Lloyd Carr how important it is to beat an archrival. Stephen
McGee will now be known for what he's been able to do against the
Longhorns with three straight fantastic performances. If the offense
can click this well in the bowl game and if the Aggies can win, even
without Franchione coaching the team, the
downer of a season will have ended on a stunning high note.
Nov. 10
Missouri 40 ... Texas A&M 26
Missouri got a battle from Texas A&M, with the Aggies pulling
within five late on a 42-yard Martellus Bennett touchdown catch, his
second score of the day, but the Tigers pulled away with Jeremy
Maclin's second touchdown catch of the game, scoring from 12 yards
out to pull away for good. Maclin also set a Missouri record for the
longest touchdown catch with an 82-yard play, on the second of Chase
Daniel's three touchdown passes. Mizzou outgained A&M 555 yards to
Player of the
game: Missouri WR Jeremy Maclin caught five passes for 146 yards
and two touchdowns, ran four times for 32 yards, returned four
kickoffs for 82 yards, and returned a punt for seven yards.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... A&M
battled hard against Missouri, but didn't have enough defense, and
not nearly enough defensive pressure, to throw Chase Daniel off his
game. The running game was fine, but it wasn't nearly productive
enough throughout and didn't control the ball in the fourth quarter.
The season has quickly gone into the tank, losing three in a row and
four of the last five, and if there's going to be an upset against
Texas in two weeks, it'll be up to the defense. It has to find
something it can do right.
Nov. 3
Oklahoma 42 ... Texas A&M 14
Oklahoma TE Jermaine Greshman tied a school record with four
touchdown catches, scoring from three, 13, 38 and 13 yards out, and
QB Sam Bradford added a fifth touchdown pass to Chris Brown on the
way to a 35-0 lead going into the fourth quarter. Texas A&M got two
scores on a 23-yard Martellus Bennett catch and a one-yard Chris
Alexander run, but the game had already been decided long before.
The Aggie twosome of Mike Goodson and Jorvorskie Lane were held to
56 yards on 12 carries.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... The
coaching staff appears to be convinced that Stephen McGee should be
the entire offense. Forgetting that the defense didn't have a prayer
of staying with Oklahoma tight end Jermaine Gresham, and did nothing
to disturb QB Sam Bradford, the running backs were relatively
effective. Jorvorskie Lane averaged 5.6 yards per carry, but he only
got the ball five times. There was never a real chance to establish
Mike Goodson. To have a chance against Missouri or Texas, A&M has to
get the running backs going early on. There simply isn't enough pop
in the passing game to make up for a mediocre ground attack.
Oct. 27
Kansas 19 ... Texas A&M 11
Kansas outrushed Texas A&M 227 yards to 74 with Brandon
McAnderson tearing off 183 yards with scores from six and three
yards out. After a scoreless first half, the Jayhawks scored 19
straight points, helped by two Scott Webb field goals. A&M fought
back with a 21-yard field goal and a 32-yard Roger Holland touchdown
catch, followed up with a two-point conversion, but were unable to
do anything with its final drive.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... How
could A&M only generate 74 rushing yards against Kansas? Stephen
McGee is a fine passer, but A&M is a running team that failed to
commit to the ground attack for a full four quarters. It was a
strange gameplan, especially at home, and now things don't slow down
with trips to Oklahoma and Missouri. Getting Jorvorskie Lane
rumbling from the start is a must.
Oct. 20
Texas A&M 36 ... Nebraska 14
Texas A&M rumbled for 359 yards with Stephen McGee and
Jorvorskie Lane each going over 100. Nebraska held an early lead on
a three-yard Quentin Castille touchdown run to answer a two-yard
Earvin Taylor scoring run with a blocked extra point. And then it
was all A&M and its running game, with Lane rumbling for four
touchdowns from one yard, two yards, four yards and a yard out. The
Huskers made it close in the second quarter on a ten-yard Maurice
Purify touchdown catch, but wouldn't get any closer. The Aggies held
on to the ball for 21:03 in the second half.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ...
After all the problems in the Texas Tech loss, A&M did what it does
best against Nebraska by running, running and running some more. The
only knock on a blowout game in Lincoln with 359 yards rushing was
the workload. Stephen McGee shouldn't be running the ball 35 times
when there are perfectly good backs in Mike Goodson, who only ran
eight times, and Jorvoskie Lane to carry the mail. That worked this
week, but it won't over the final month against Kansas, Oklahoma,
Missouri and Texas.
Oct. 13
Texas Tech 35 ... Texas A&M 7
Texas A&M held a 7-0 first quarter lead after a long drive
ended with a one-yard Jorvorskie Lane touchdown run. That would be
all the fun the Aggies would have, as Texas Tech cranked out 35
unanswered points on three Graham Harrell touchdown passes, a
one-yard run, and a one-yard Shannon Woods run. .The A&M ground game
managed 344 yards, but couldn't keep pace one the Red Raider offense
got rolling. Tech's Michael Crabtree didn't score, but he came up
with a 54-yard pass play off a slant pattern that led to the Woods
touchdown run with 25 left in the first half for a 21-7 Red Raider

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... As
the Miami game showed a few weeks ago, when the running game isn't
dominating, A&M is in trouble. Against Texas Tech, the defense
didn't have an answer for Graham Harrell and the onslaught that
kicked in after a 7-0 Aggie lead, and now it's do-or-die time at
Nebraska to save the Big 12 season. That might sound extreme for a
team with only one league loss, but the four best teams in the
conference (Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Texas) finish things up.
A&M has to start going on more long scoring drives, and the offense
can't afford to get behind. The rally over Oklahoma State two weeks
ago was the exception.
Oct. 6
Texas A&M 24 ... Oklahoma State 23
Jorvorskie Lane ran for two, one-yard scores and caught a
ten-yard touchdown pass as A&M rallied from a 17-0 deficit for the
win. OSU got up on Adarius Bowman touchdown catches from 29 and 47
yards out in the second quarter, but could only manage three Jason
Ricks field goals the rest of the way. Ricks' 25-yard boot came with
3:11 to play, and OSU would never get it back. The defense came up
with the stop and forced a punt, but a roughing the kicker penalty
gave it back to A&M, and Lane ran out the clock.
Player of the game:
Texas A&M RB Jorvorskie Lane ran for 77 yards and two touchdowns on
19 carries, and caught four balls for 35 yards and another score.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... It
might not have been easy, but after the ugly loss to Miami, and the
struggles with Fresno State and Oklahoma State, A&M is still 5-1
going into the meat of the schedule. As good as the Aggie running
game is supposed to be, the Cowboys were able to keep it under
wraps, allowing just 150 yards, while gaining 200 of its own. A&M
had better gear it up in a big hurry against Texas Tech, and it had
better figure out how to cover someone right now. If Adarius Bowman
can catch seven passes for 142 yards and two touchdowns, Tech's
Michael Crabtree could go crazy.
Sept. 29
Texas A&M 34 ... Baylor 10
Texas A&M rumbled for 352 rushing yards, controlling the clock
for 43:18, with Jorvorskie Lane rushing for a one-yard score,
Stephen McGee and Jerrod Johnson adding short fourth quarter rushing
touchdowns, and Mike Goodson taking a pass 58 yards for a touchdown.
Baylor didn't move the ball well, but it got a Jay Finley three-yard
touchdown run in the fourth to pull within ten. The A&M defense
clamped down from there, and the running game kept the chains
moving, converting 11 of 19 third down chances.

that's how it's supposed to work. The A&M running game pounded its
way to an easy win over Baylor, controlling the clock, moving the
chains, and keeping the Bear offense off the field. The Aggies even
got a little out of the passing attack, with Stephen McGee working
the ball around well for 200 yards. After the Miami debacle, there
was bound to be a steady diet of Jorvorskie Lane running the ball,
and now the formula has to work again next week against Texas Tech.
The Aggies simply aren't good enough to get involved in a
high-octane shootout; their games need to be kept under their

Miami 34 ... Texas A&M 17
Miami dominated the first half with 24 points, helped by a
flurry in the final five minutes off of A&M miscues. Graig Cooper
and Javarris James each ran for short touchdowns, and Kyle Wright
connected with Cooper for a 12-yard score and Chris Zellner for a
seven-yard touchdown on the way to a 31-0 lead. Texas A&M came up
with 17 fourth quarter points on a short Stephen McGee run and a
Jerrod Johnson 33-yard chuck to Martellus Bennett with five seconds

the heck was that? A&M came up with a weird gameplan for Miami, and
it wouldn't change things up even when things were going poorly.
Turnovers and a late first half meltdown ended the game, but it was
basically over when the coaching staff decided not to pound the ball
with Jorvorskie Lane. How could he only get two carries for two
yards? The offensive line was getting dominated early on, but A&M
needed to go to its strength and pound the ball, pound the ball,
pound the ball. This was the type of loss that could tear the team
apart, especially if there are problems against Baylor next week.
Watch for Lane to get 20 carries against the Bears.
Sept. 15
Texas A&M 54 ... UL Monroe 14
Texas A&M ran for 310 yards and consistently rumbled all game
long, getting six touchdown runs from five different players with
Jorvorskie Lane running for two in the first half. The Aggies
scored ten in the first, 17 in the second, 14 in the third and 13 in
the fourth, rolling for 34 straight points after Calvin Dawson tied
it at seven late in the first quarter. A&M's Kerry Franks added a
20-yard touchdown catch in the third quarter.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... Now
that's what you're supposed to do after struggling so badly against
Fresno State. UL Monroe had no prayer of slowing down the Aggie
attack that averaged 7.4 yards per carry. The Aggies were able to
empty the bench and five Mike Goodson and Jorvorskie Lane a little
bit of rest, while the passing game got in some work with Stephen
McGee throwing it 33 times. This was one of the best games the
offense has played in a few years, and now the momentum has to keep
rolling at Miami. Getting out to a hot start will be a must to force
the Canes to throw.
Sept. 8
Texas A&M 47 ... Fresno State 45
In a wild game with several major momentum swings, Fresno
State got into the end zone on Bear Pascoe's third touchdown catch
of the game in the third overtime, but Tom Brandstater's two-point
conversion attempt failed to click to allow the Aggies to escape.
The Aggies appeared to have the game won in regulation after
Jorvorskie Lane rumbled in for a five-yard score with under two
minutes to play, but down 29-22, the Bulldogs went 80 yards in ten
plays with Brandstater scrambling before finding Pascoe for a
three-yard score with five seconds to play. A&M got a field goal on
its overtime possession, and then the fun began as Fresno State
appeared to have the ball down at the one as Marlon Moore dove just
before getting into the end zone, lost the ball on to the Aggies
before crossing the goal line, and then got a reprieve after the
play was called back for a roughing the passer penalty. The Bulldogs
ended up kicking a field goal, and then the two teams traded short
touchdown runs in the second overtime.

Whoopty doo. What does it all mean, Basil? ... The
running game should've been able to close out Fresno State, and
despite grinding out 318 yards, it almost wasn't enough. The
secondary couldn't come up with a key late play, and it couldn't
handle TE Bear Pascoe on seemingly every clutch pass. Normally,
holding onto the ball for over 34 minutes and converting 11 of 20
third down conversions should lead to an easy A&M victory, but there
will need to be more passing to have a chance at the tougher games
ahead. That's why the UL Monroe game is vital; Stephen McGee has to
quickly find his passing touch after completing just 52% of his
passes in the first two games.
Sept. 1
Texas A&M 38 ... Montana State 7
Elliott Barnhart caught an eight yard touchdown pass less than
five minutes into the game to give Montana State a 7-0 lead. And
then it was all A&M. The Aggies scored 38 unanswered points as
Stephen McGee tore off runs of 65 and three yards, Jorvorskie Lane

It might not have been Texas A&M's best
performance in the win over Montana State, but the offense got the
big running plays it needed to, averaging a whopping 7.5 yards per
carry, and the defense did a nice job of bending but not breaking.
Giving up 403 yards to a decent FCS team like MSU isn't that big a
deal, but it would nice if the D could become a brick wall against
Fresno State next week, and it would be really nice if Stephen McGee
could be a bit more efficient after completing just half his passes.
Sept. 1 – Montana State
Sept. 8 - Fresno State
Offense: New offensive coordinator Jim McElwain will pump some
life into a stagnant passing game with a wide-open attack featuring some
funky, multi-receiver formations while not running quite as much. Call
it playing to the strengths, as the receiving corps is lightning fast,
but untested, while Tom Brandstater, who struggled mightily last year,
is still a talent who appears ready to make a big jump and become a
major player. The running game will suffer without Dwayne Wright, but
Lonyae Wright and Clifton Smith should be decent. The line is the
strength of the team with four starters returning to a group that
allowed just 12 sacks.
Defense: After a tremendous 2005 season when the defense
dominated, last year was a step back, especially in the secondary.
Enough overall experience returns to be better, but the line has to do
more to get into the backfield and the corners have to pick off more
passes after taking away just three. There's plenty of speed and
athleticism in the linebacking corps to swarm to the ball, and there's
size and pass rushing ability from the front four, but there have to be
more big plays and more takeaways.
Sept. 15 - UL Monroe
Offense: The best offense in the Sun Belt gets 11 starters back
led by RB Calvin Dawson working behind a terrific line with several
all-star candidates. QB Kinsmon Lancaster has a year of starting
experience under his belt, and he has all his top targets to get the
ball to including LaGregory Sapp and tight end Zeek Zacharie. While the
attack will spread it out and allow Lancaster to use his mobility and
big-time arm to find the right receiver, it'll be Dawson who carries the
workload when things get tight.
Defense: The same problems ULM had last year appear to be the
same issues going into this year with a questionable run defense and no
proven pass rush, but the strength, the secondary, will be the same even
without Kevin Payne and Chaz Williams. The 4-2-5 did its job against
mediocre offenses, but got ripped apart by any offense with a pulse.
Unless the line is better, the Warhawks will be pounded on by everyone
in the Sun Belt.
Sept. 20 – at Miami
Offense: After a miserably inconsistent year finishing 87th in
the nation in both total and scoring offense, the attack needs to play
up to its talent level. The backfield will be amazing with Javarris
James and true freshman Graig Cooper each good enough star for just
about anyone in the country. The line has potential with two good
tackles in Jason Fox and Reggie Youngblood to work around, and now the
passing game has to be far better. The Kyle Wright vs. Kirby Freeman
quarterback battle will be an ongoing debate, and the receiving corps
has to step up and be better. Lance Leggett emerging as a true number
one target would be a start.
Defense: The defense finished seventh in the nation last year
despite not getting any help from the offense. The starting 11 should be
good enough to shut everyone down, but there will be early concerns with
the depth on the defensive line and the secondary. Safety Kenny Phillips
and end Calais Campbell might be the two best defensive players in the
nation, and everything will revolve around them; they must stay
healthy. The linebacking corps might not have name stars, but it'll be a
rock against the run with a good rotation of talents.
Sept. 29 - Baylor
Offense: After making the change to a Texas Tech-like
passing attack, the Bears threw well, but did absolutely nothing for the
running game, finishing dead last in the nation averaging just 40.17
yards per game. There will be more emphasis on running the ball, but
this will still be a passing attack. First, BU has to find someone to
throw, and someone to catch. It'll be a three-way battle for the
starting quarterback job, with former Kent State Golden Flash Michael
Machen the leader in the race, while the two star receivers of last
season are gone. Several young players have to turn into reliable
targets, while Brandon Whitaker has to try to provide some semblance of
a rushing attack behind a line that should be a bit better.
Defense: Pass rush, pass rush, pass rush. Baylor didn't come up with
any last year, and it affected the entire defense. With only 11 sacks
and 51 tackles for loss, BU let opposing quarterbacks spend all day to
throw, and the secondary struggled. Worse yet, the run defense was
awful. Now, there's hope for improvement in the 4-2-5 alignment with
promising tackles in Vincent Rhodes and Trey Bryant, along with tackling
machine Joe Pawelek at linebacker. The secondary has more raw talent
than last year, but not a lot of experience, so it'll be up to veteran
ends Jason Lamb and Geoff Nelson to finally produce some sort of
pressure on the quarterback.
Oct. 6 - Oklahoma State
Offense: The potential is there for the nation's 16th best
offense and seventh best scoring attack to be even better. Quarterback
Bobby Reid lived up to the hype last season and proved he could be a
star. While he loses a great target in D'Juan Woods, he gets Adarius
Bowman back to go along with a slew of speedy but unproven receivers to
stretch the field. The 1-2 rushing punch of Dantrell Savage and Keith
Toston is among the fastest and most dangerous in America running behind
a decent line that has experience, but will be a work in progress to
find the right starting combination.
Defense: If nothing else, the defense was certainly interesting
with an aggressive style that produced a ton of sacks, plenty of tackles
for loss, and gave up too many big plays. New defensive coordinator Tim
Beckman will tone things down a little bit while still taking the fight
to the offense. The back seven will be terrific with a fantastic
linebacking corps, even with top middle man Rodrick Johnson playing end
and star Chris Collins trying to get through knee and off-the-field
problems, while the secondary will strong as long as injuries don't hit
the safeties. Experience on the line, especially at tackle, will be an
issue early on, but the starting ends, Marque Fountain and Nathan
Peterson, will be all-stars.
Oct. 13 – at Texas Tech
Offense: On the surface, there might appear to be a world
of problems. The quarterback situation is allegedly up for grabs, the
star running back practiced like he was too secure and got booted to
third string, almost all the top receivers are gone, and four starters
have to be replaced on the line. Don't shed too many tears. Graham
Harrell had a great spring and will be the staring quarterback once
again, Shannon Woods will get back in everyone's good graces this fall
and be a top back, and Michael Crabtree might be the best receiver the
program has had in several years. Of course, it all goes kaput if the
line doesn't come together quickly, but Mike Leach and his coaching
staff have dealt with worse. There might be question marks, but there's
also a whole bunch of talented prospects. This will be one of the
nation's five best passing offenses once again, but it might not be
Defense: This D will be a major part in several shootouts, and
not in a good way. The secondary will be the strength, and it's not even
close, with a pair of all-star safeties in Darcel McBath and Joe Garcia,
along with star corner Chris Parker. The front seven is a major problem,
especially the defensive line, with no depth and only one starter
returning. The linebacking corps isn't all that big, but it's fast and
should be good in time. Expect good running teams to be able to rumble
at will.
Oct. 20 – at Nebraska
Offense: From possibly losing star receiver Maurice Purify
for being a knucklehead off the field, to losing leading rusher Brandon
Jackson to the NFL, promising runner Kenny Wilson to a broken leg while
moving a TV, and starting guard Matt Huff to a blown out Achilles
(though he might be back), it's been a rough off-season for the offense.
Even with all the problems, the offense will roll if, and it's a
screaming if, the once-promising tackle prospects come through and the
starting 11 stays healthy. Top back Marlon Lucky can't be counted on for
a full season, while backup Cody Glenn is already hobbling with a foot
problem. There's no one of note behind them. The line had to do some
shuffling after a variety of injuries, meaning the ground game could
struggle at times. Fortunately, former Arizona State mad bomber Sam
Keller is at the helm with a speedy, veteran receiving corps to work
with. Don't be shocked if the attack becomes one-dimensional at some
point this year. That might not be a bad thing.
Defense: Defensive coordinator Kevin Cosgrove is about throwing
different looks at offenses over the last few years, and while he loses
all four starters off a great front four, he has more talent and depth
to work with. The strength is in the linebacking corps, where Bo Ruud,
Corey McKeon, Steve Octavien and Lance Brandenburgh will control the
defense. There's speed to burn in the secondary, but the defensive backs
haven't played up to their potential or athleticism over the last few
years. This will be one of the Big 12's better defenses, but it still
might not be close to the killer of some of the great Husker teams of
the past.
Oct. 27 - Kansas
Offense: After spending last year running the ball, new
offensive coordinator Ed Warinner will try to stretch the field more
with a big, experienced group of receivers. The big question will be who
the quarterback will be throwing to them. Sophomores Kerry Meier and
Todd Reesing are talented, mobile passers who can do a little of
everything well, but they'll be in a battle for the starting job up
until the opener. The other big question mark is at running back, where
Jon Cornish and his 1,457 yards and eight scores will be replaced by
Jake Sharp (fast) and Brandon McAnderson (powerful). The line is nothing
special, but the tackles are experienced and solid.
Defense: The defense had to go through a little bit of a rebuilding
phase last season, and while the overall results weren't terrific, and
too many yards were allowed, it wasn't as bad as it might have appeared.
The secondary gave up more yards than anyone in America, but it gets
Aqib Talib back at corner to go along with an upgrade in speed at the
other three spots. The linebacking corps, by design, is small on the
outside with a slew of safety-sized defenders designed to fly to the
ball. They have to hold up better when they're getting pounded on. James
McClinton is a star at tackle who should set the tone for the front
Nov. 3 – at Oklahoma
Offense: If a quarterback comes through and shines, this could be
the nation's most effective offense. If the offensive line isn't the
best in college football, it's number two, the running backs are very
fast and very talented, and the receiving corps, led by top pro prospect
Malcolm Kelly, is very big and very fast. It all comes down to the
quarterback battle between junior Joey Halzle and redshirt freshman Sam
Bradford. Whichever one can be steady will get the plum gig with a
chance to lead the loaded attack in a national title chase.
Defense: It'll be an interesting defense that has the potential
to be a killer, but has some major concerns. The secondary should be
among the best in America with enough size, speed, and talent to keep
the NFL scouts buzzing. DeMarcus Granger is a rising superstar tackle
who should combine with Gerald McCoy, Cory Bennett and Steven Coleman to
stuff up everything on the inside. If the unknown ends come though with
a halfway decent season, and the untested linebacking corps is nearly as
good as last year's, look out.
Nov. 10 – at Missouri
Offense: If all the parts are working as expected, this should be
one of the nation's five most productive offenses with an embarrassment
of riches to work with. Junior QB Chase Daniel is growing into a star
leader with more than enough weapons to choose from. The tight end
combination of Martin Rucker and Chase Coffman is the best in the
nation, Will Franklin can fly on the outside, and Tony Temple leads a
small, quick backfield that'll rip through the holes created by a
talented, experienced line. The problems? Consistency and proven play in
crunch time. The numbers are going to be there, but they have to come
against the top teams in the big games.
Defense: The whole will be greater than the sum of the parts. A
pass rush will emerge eventually from the outside linebackers as well as
end Stryker Sulak, while Brock Christopher has the makings of an All-Big
12 performer at middle linebacker. The secondary will be fine thanks to
the return of starting corners Darnell Terrell and Hardy Ricks, but
replacing safeties David Overstreet and Brandon Massey won't be easy.
There's tremendous speed and athleticism in the back seven, several good
young players to get excited about among the backups, and an excellent
tackle pair in Evander Hood and Lorenzo Williams to anchor things up
front. Now the D has to prove it can come through on a consistent basis
against the top teams.
Nov. 23 - Texas
Offense: This might be the best offense yet under head coach Mack
Brown, with one bump in the road: the line. The starting five will be
fine, but there's absolutely no depth at tackle. While that's the
concern, the skill players will be fantastic with a deep, talented
receiving corps that welcomes back the top four targets, Jamaal Charles
and a speedy backfield, and Colt McCoy to lead the show. Now a seasoned
veteran, McCoy will run more than last year while making more plays on
the move. Expect plenty of scoring, plenty of explosiveness, and a top
five finish in total offense ... as long as the line holds up.
Defense: Duane Akina goes from co-defensive coordinator to the
head man in charge, and there will be changes. Last year's defense was
all about stopping the run, and the talented secondary got torched. This
year's D will focus on doing everything, with an eye towards being more
aggressive and generating more pressure. The strength is at tackle and
in the linebacking corps, with NFL caliber talent that should keep the
Longhorns among the nation's leaders against the run. The ends will be
fine, in time, and they'll get to pin their ears back and go to the
quarterback. All the pressure should help out a secondary in transition,
with only one starter returning from a group that loses Thorpe Award
winner Aaron Ross and All-American Michael Griffin.

Re: What Is A Boat Really Worth?
Good show...a design and boat you liked. I would worry about the add ons as was said as you can do them yourself and then they are new...and state of the art. Concentrate on the realistic price of the boat and the items which were important.. Was it I good shape? How as t used previously? How many owners? Engine maintenance? Thats what really counts here not the add ons. Is it a fresh water boat? How many months a year was it sailed?
Make a fair price offer. Its easier to have the one close by than one far away.

The Junior Serve Discussion
Is is too much to ask a young player (age 7-10) to be as technically sound as a pro with their serve? Does their lack of strength in the shoulders, core, and legs prevent them from reaching certain reference points on the serve?
I've found it difficult to help my 8 year old son avoid the Waiters Tray error (palm and racket face facing up) on his serve. At first, he tended to bypass the "Trophy" pose and immediately hold the Waiters Tray position. Now, after an adequate Trophy pose, he's dropping the racket to the Waiters Tray position at the beginning of his racket drop, or sometime after the racket drop.
He's holding a continental grip; but he's obviously not successfully holding the racket "edge on" until the last split second (it seems he's pronating too soon). Is this a technical issue that young kids can master, or is it still somewhat a strength issue?
Any tips out there on what one should be "feeling" when going from Trophy pose to the racket drop? I've heard that you want the uncoiling of the body and the powering up of your legs to happen first, and then the racket drop will happen rather naturally. But, will this altogether prevent the Waiters Tray error?
Thanks for any thoughts and suggestions.
He's in the wrong grip. Cannot achieve the "waiters tray" with the continental grip. Needs to rotate grip 1 bevel counterclockwise. It's going to fell weird to him and he will complain. I would not be too concerned with the lower body yet. The grip, pronating and the swing is important.
Have him start in a position like a big "L", with his hitting arm being the bend and toss arm the long part of L. Basically just before trophy pose, make sure racket is on edge, and have him toss and drop into the racket drop (back scratch, whatever) and get the feeling of the position. he can toss, drop in, and hit, do two or three practice tosses for each attempted hit. As he gets it, start to do full service motion incorporating the new transition. I could get more technical, just trying to keep it simple, I'm sure you will get more feedback.
Work one thing at a time. forget knee bend, forget lowerbody, forget hip rotation, i would not even give the ball to him initially. just hold it in trophy position, swing up and stop. the racquet face while dropping, you can tell him should be parallel to the his head/back. this way he CANNOT get a waiters tray position. break down each of the milestone positions. work on it and slowly build on each one. i would say for a smooth flow of basic full service it should take 1-2 years. this is just basic. then as he grows and gains strenght then add on more pro stuff.....
Also the key is to give him a 25inch racquet to begin with if not 23 inch.
I recommend you let him watch a video or show him how to serve instead of talking about it. It might be too much info to process for and adult(I know it is for me) and very difficult for a child. Have him watch the video right on the court and then tell him to imitate it. You are probably showing it to him as well, but if you find a player he wants to emulate that might be more productive. I read this in a book and then tried it with my son(forehand) and for the next 10 minutes his forehand was whipping and making winners like crazy. After that he forgot about it, so it needs to be a repeat process.
Thanks for the suggestions thus far.
When going from the Trophy Pose to the racket drop, is it good advice to feel gravity taking your racquet down (implying loose grip and loose arm)?
Further, it is well established that pro's keep their racket "edge on" until just before making contact with the ball (pronating at the very last "second"). Are young kids able to replicate this? Is it ever OK for them to pronate a little bit sooner?
Would still love any insights that pertain to my last post.

Here's a quote:
Someday future generations will look at reports like this and shake their heads at how backward Baptists were at the turn of the 21st Century.
"While the pastorate continues, for the most part, to be only marginally open to women, and growth there is incremental, a larger number of women now serve as associate pastors and in specialized ministry roles on church staffs . . .," the report states. "Many women have found places of ministry as chaplains in hospitals, prisons, the military and other organizations and agencies, although women make up only 29 percent of all chaplains endorsed by the ABC-USA, Alliance, CBF and SBC."

Ab-Soul Gets Ignorant On 'Dub Sac'
Following Jay Rock's ferocious 'Numbers on the Boards' freestyle yesterday, Ab-Soul brings us the second TDE offering in as many days with an all-new track, 'Dub Sac.'
Following Jay Rock's ferocious 'Numbers on the Boards' freestyle yesterday, Ab-Soul brings us the second TDE offering in as many days with an all-new track, 'Dub Sac.'
Ab-Soul may be a part of Black Hippy but he wants to make one thing very clear: Kendrick Lamar is not his boss.
Emeli Sande is no stranger to the TDE crew. Back in February, the Scottish sensation nabbed Kendrick Lamar for the remix to 'Next to Me,' off her 'Our Version of Events' album. Now she calls on a fellow Black Hippy member to add his lyrical touch to a new track.
In addition to his new EP, 'Easily,' Chuck Inglish also stops by with the official video to the standout off the project, the Mac Miller and Ab-Soul-assisted 'Came Thru/Easily.' Inspired by Beastie Boys' 'Sabotage,' video, the Trevor Kane-directed clip finds the trio roaming around and dapping up Smoke DZA in a cartoon-infused Fairfax in jumpsuits.
May's 'Droptops' EP won't be the only solo release from Chuck Inglish this year. The former(?) Cool Kid has announced that he'll be putting out a new five-track EP titled 'Easily' which, judging by the opening track and first taste from the project, will easily be another banger.
After making a number of stellar guest appearances on cuts like Joey Bada$$'s 'Hardknock,' Dyme-A-Duzin's 'Swank Sinatra' and MeLo-X's 'Live From East Flatbush,' Pro Era's CJ Fly is gearing up to release his first full-length project.
Black Hippy have been one of, if not the, most documented rap collectives of the last few years, so we know there's a lot to sift through. But if you're going to watch anything on the West Coast crew, make sure it's Life+Times' new 'Made In America: TDE' documentary.
'Never Know' is the melodic and lyrically sharp new single from North Carolina rapper Rapsody, who's joined by a superbly talented pair of guests in Nipsey Hussle and Ab-Soul.
Editor's note: Welcome to TheBoombox's new column The Futurist in which contributor Sean Lynch aka Kidd Future introduces readers to best emerging talent in the ever-changing worlds of hip-hop, R&B, and progressive music. For the inaugural post we spotlight singer-songwriter/producer and Kendrick Lamar collaborator JMSN.

I am working on a texturing algorithm for 3d graphics and I am trying to rotate triangles that are attached at a point so that they are connected (share a single edge) I am using
$\arctan( \frac{m1 - m2}{1 + m1*m2} )$ where $m1 \gt m2$
This is working well in some test cases but not in all... I have two lines one with slope ~1 and ~-.3 which gets me
$\arctan(\frac{1.05555556+0.368567038}{1 + 1.05555556*-0.368567038)})$ = 1.16553753 radians = ~66 degrees
This is correct if the line with slope -.3 is moving down to the right while the line with slope 1 is moving up to the right however the direction of the -.3 slope is moving up and to the left. Is there a way to parameterize this function so that I can provide the direction the lines moving in? Thanks.

See Latrobe's diary of his trips to New Orleans and his stay there, Impressions respecting New Orleans (ed. by S. Wilson, Jr., 1951); study by T. Hamlin (1955).
He was the son of Benjamin Latrobe, architect of the United States Capitol and the Basilica of the Assumption. The junior Latrobe was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was educated in Baltimore, Maryland, and later at Georgetown College. He married Maria Eleanor "Ellen" Hazlehurst on March 12, 1833.
Around 1820 Latrobe worked with his father to establish a water supply for New Orleans, Louisiana. Between 1833 and 1835, as assistant engineer for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, he saw his design for the Thomas Viaduct take shape.
Early on it was nicknamed "Latrobe's Folly" as many doubted the massive structure could support itself. The fact that it remains in use as of 2007, carrying far heavier loads than ever envisioned, is a testament to his skill. He later became chief engineer of the Baltimore and Ohio.

Type differences in an expression
The computers do not know any binary operations that can be applied to operands of different types. So we require compiler not to report an error if type differences occurs in an expression. If a language allows mixed-mode expressions than the compiler of that language must be designed to handle different types of operands in the expression. We use coercion (implicit type conversion) to convert one type of data to another.
If compiler is designed to apply coercion, then it will simply ignore the type differences that occur in an expression. Same type of operands results in faster calculations, as compiler is saved from an overhead to apply coercion. Thus we need compiler to ignore type differences in an expression if we want to allow operands of different types in an expression. This will make our expression errorless while compilation as it will automatically handle the type differences.
For example,
byte x;
int y, z;
z = x + y;
Here, compiler will ignore type difference; byte will be converted to integer before addition is performed. If coercion is not allowed here then compiler would report an error.

Dear Tara,
I would be wrong to say that for as many years as humans have been on this earth, they've figured out nothing.
They have proven through research that their kind lives in its own self-interest, that it is afraid to uncover its true self and share the results with the other fellow creatures; that the probability of getting hurt in the end will cross out any motivation for humans to venture into that territory because it might lead to failure, and heaven forbid they fail.
They have proven through research that people tend to fall ill more dramatically from psychological stress rather than the physical, and can become manipulated to follow the crowd in order to feel a sense of belonging. People crave an invisible safety cocoon of approval from others to survive this tough, cold world.
Let us not get disappointed with the human race for being so afraid of the truth or the unknown. It is encoded in their DNA, it is a balancing act and a survival instinct to protect the self.
What I am more interested in understanding is what exactly makes people take the chance to challenge those instincts; to go in the tunnel, knowing that one might not get out alive? What is the force that gives humans enough ammunition against fear? What elements make up the courage to learn and face the truth about themselves and their environment and eventually, hopefully, to accept it, or make amends?
What I will say next is open to interpretation and criticism for sounding idealistic. And whatever that may entail, I choose not to fight that argument. Because if seeing beauty is deemed idealistic, then let me take the trophy for that experience; our world is a spectrum of extremes and those experiences are all small dots on the range.
I cannot find a word to describe the cause or pinpoint the answers for questions I stated above because sometimes the best moments in life cannot be explained by words; those moments can be complex yet subtle, last for a nano-second and never resurface, like Atlantis. Sometimes they aren't even felt; they just happen.
One of the by-products of such moments, in my eyes, is vaguely referred to as "beautiful friendship" in the dry, crisp psychoanalysis books that collect dust on library shelves. It is a term, an act with blurred lines and a couple hundred covenants attached to it, such as "must build each other and pass it on," "must act for two if the other's energy has been compromised," "must uphold unconditional trust for each other without any public announcement of," etc, etc. But those are the covenants that we wrote, with four hands and one pen, often times without comparables, without a legal system or a public opinion.
I don't think it was rooted in love, Buddhist philosophies or our parents' teenage dreams. I think it was more profound and interesting than anything earthly.
Most of us can agree that our time is precious, and the best investment one can make is in a worthy person. How one uncovers that person, I think, is by going against our human limitations and fears to establish a meaningful connection and trust. Thank you for doing that for me (stock), (you) Warren Buffett.
Congratulations, you have just been nominated for a "not normal human" award. I'm not sure if one can feel 100% flattered by that, but in this particular context I think it is appropriate and even encouraged. Dividends to be announced.
With Gratitude,

After Luebke confirms he'll have surgery, Padres beaten by Greene's two-run blast
The day before, Richard had delivered a pinch-hit single in the 13th and scored the winning run on a dash from first. This at-bat, Garcia struck him out on four pitches.
"At that point, it was 1-0 and he was in control of the game," said manager Bud Black, asked if he'd thought about pinch-hitting for Richard. "Our bullpen has been ... we had 13 innings yesterday. Our guys had been used. I thought at that point, it was in our best interest for him to go back out and put another zero on the board."
Garcia, too, had one of the big hits for the Cards. His single in the seventh moved Greene to third, whereupon Rafael Furcal tied the game with his single and Garcia scored on Matt Carpenter's grounder to second.
Surgery set for Luebke
Left-hander Cory Luebke will have elbow reconstruction surgery Wednesday. Dr. Lewis Yocum will perform the "Tommy John" procedure in Los Angeles. Luebke, 27, had been considering the options of surgery or physical rehabilitation since going on the disabled list with the elbow injury in early May.
"The surgery is what we were leaning to all along," Luebke said Monday on a conference call. "The ligament wasn't going to heal itself."
Over the past three weeks, Luebke sought counsel from doctors, other pitchers who have had the surgery (including new teammate Eric Stults) and family members.
Having the surgery now means Luebke might be pitching by May or June of the 2013 season and likely close to 100 percent by the start of the 2014 season.
Ausmus to lead Israel
Brad Ausmus, the former longtime catcher who's now special assistant to the general manager with the Padres, will be manager of Team Israel in the World Baseball Classic. One of his coaches will be Mark Loretta, special assistant in baseball operations for the Padres.

Home-made Baileys has been a Christmas tradition in my family. I enjoy this over ice or in coffee; it's delicious and so much better than the store-bought stuff. What I don't love is how dairy makes me feel. I broke up with dairy after Christmas 2011 when it was pretty evident that between the Baileys, coffee pudding (wait for that recipe), and cannoli's from Mike's in Boston, that dairy made me sick. Last year I only made Baileys to give away as gifts. This year I decided to try my hand at tweaking my mom's recipe to make it non-dairy. I figured if it was terrible I could throw it in my ice cream machine
As I said, this makes a great gift. Pour it in a Ball jar with some ribbon tied to it, and you have an inexpensive home-made gift. You look amazing while you laugh at how stupid easy the recipe is.
The non-dairy version subs coconut cream for the sweetened condensed milk. And considering coconut is such a health food, this is healthy right?! Well maybe not with all that whiskey but hey, it's Christmas. We all have to live a little. And to quote Michael Pollan's food rule "Eat all the junk food you want as long as you make it yourself." As least you're making this yourself.

My adults cats have never gotten interested in the houses that are low to the ground. The kittens love them, but then again, they love everything. We prefer the taller items that let the cats see outside.
Pros: good for scratching
Cons: too short

|Twins GM Terry Ryan takes interim tag off title
|Written by Admin
|Friday, 05 October 2012 12:44
Ryan said Friday he's ``all set and committed and ready to go'' to try to turn around the Twins, who lost 96 games this season and 99 the year before.
His first offseason moves came Thursday, when he told bullpen coach Rick Stelmaszek, third base coach Steve Liddle, first base coach Jerry White and head athletic trainer Rick McWane their contracts weren't being renewed. Hitting coach Joe Vavra and bench coach Scott Ullger will stay on the staff but in different roles.
Manager Ron Gardenhire will enter the final year of his contract without an extension.
Ryan resigned as general manager in 2007 and remained as an adviser until Bill Smith was fired last year.

M2M/IoT, Cloud, Big Data and Analytics: Market Dynamics and Opportunities 2014
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Dublin - Research and Markets (
) has announced the addition of the "M2M/IoT, Cloud, Big Data and Analytics: Market Dynamics and Opportunities" report to their offering.
Technology and market advances in four separate, yet related, areas are poised to cause disintermediation as well as many market opportunities for companies across a broad spectrum within telecom and digital technologies. Machine-to-Machine (M2M) has already made a big impact on wireless communications as network operators seek to leverage revenue opportunities beyond human interaction reliant services.
The evolution of automated processes due to the Internet of Things (IoT) will accelerate this impact. The Cloud supports storage of huge amount of data gathered by M2M applications and also ensures real-time availability of data for further processing and analysis. Without the processing power and number crunching ability of Big Data and Analytics, the full potential of M2M and IoT would never be realized.
These four factors working in alignment will enable new business opportunities and provide additional benefits to enterprise, which in turn will be passed on to end-consumers. This research evaluates each of these individually as well as in conjunction with each. This report uniquely focuses on the mutual and conjoint benefits of M2M, Cloud, Big Data and Analytics.
Target Audience: - Network operators - M2M / IoT platform providers - M2M infrastructure providers - M2M / IoT application developers - Cloud and telecom security companies - Analytics and Data reporting companies - Telecommunications infrastructure providers - M2M equipment and service providers of all types - Cloud infrastructure and support service providers - Data aggregators, storage and management providers - Big Data solution (Infrastructure, Software, Service) vendors Report Benefits: - Case Studies - CXO positions on Big Data - Big Data Security and Privacy - Challenges of M2M and Big Data - Applications of M2M and Big Data - Factors Driving M2M Analytics Opportunity - Barriers and Challenges to Cloud Adoption - Businesses Impact of Big Data and Analytics Key Topics Covered: 1.0 Introduction 2.0 Aspects Of M2M Application 3.0 Big Data 4.0 Using Data As A Powerful Tool 5.0 Businesses Impact Of Big Data And Analytics 6.0 M2M And Big Data Applications 7.0 Challenges Of M2M And Big Data 8.0 Big Data Strategies 9.0 Big Data Security And Privacy 10.0 Cloud 11.0 Cloud Computing Model 12.0 Barriers And Challenges To Cloud Adoption 13.0 Data Analytics 14.0 Advanced Analytics Tools 15.0 Advanced Analytics Case Studies 16.0 Conclusions 17.0 Appendix For more information visit

Re: Wood, Diesel or propane bulkhead heating stove?
No experience with stainless.My guess is it discolors and warps.when it gets hot, doesn't transfer heat well, hard to cut shape or bend and even scraps cost.Mild steel cuts,welds and drills easily Occasional stove black make it look new. Nothing more annoying than a too small stove .What,OUT again? The door and venting hardest engineering so start there Fiber glass rope &tape and stove cement are available so you could even use,,, wait for it,,, stove bolts.I like fire glass doors and tight seal for airtight fit and a soap or other stone plate on top unless making morning coffee needs speed.I keep my eyes peeled at junk yard for iron or brass gee gaws. Example , brass wooden toilet seat hinge parts hold a 3/8 brass rod fiddle around the stove top .Put them on rod before bending Multi layered thin ss panel with cement board washers between bulkhead and hot dissipates heat and acts like hot air pump.( Part of stove?) Larger ss pipe centered on smoke pipe prevents melting rain gear ( open bottom and top)Special attention to deck fitting .I make mine in SS. two pipes and two rings Smaller and longer fits the stove pipe. Bigger holds the cooling water. Deep protects the interior deckhead. Big ring is deck flange. I have pressure hot water so I've not done this but if you plumb cold water in from a galley pump, hot could be directed to come out at sink Justa thought. Cement board (air space)and tiles are heat sink and lookin good.

Last Thursdays Dr. appointment had my wife at 3cm dialated. The due date is not till April 9th though I guess it can hapen at anytime. We are just ready to get it over with though lol.
Waiting Game
We waited forever even though she was dilated a couple weeks before the estimated date. Ended up going a week over, then we just got induced. The waiting sucked, and so did all the false labors. But the day did indeed come :)
As of 10:16 tuesday morning the waiting is over! After 8 hours of labour we have a little boy. 4lbs 7oz of pure bruiser named Keifer. After the labour is when all the fun started, but everyone is doing great. Mom should be home today and hopefully Keifer will be home by friday or saturday.

Join BabyCenter Dads, Ask A Dude, and Pro-Vaccination Support Group (not a debate group)
Thank you. Mom is doing great, though it looks like Keifer will be in the NIC for another week. He had some bleeding in his brain (which I think has stopped now) from a possible stroke sometime during the 3rd trimester. SO it is another waiting game for information on him.
Keifer is home as of Wednesday and doing great!
Congratulations! Having them home is both more hectic and less stressful. I've never figured out why that is.
How do you solve a problem like Maria?

Which is why, for instance, I think Michael Dorn's pitch should be modified to be a Worf CGI show or anime.
Frankly, live action on a TV budget will always undersell Worf anyway.
But get an Aeon Flux-style Worf show and I think you have a winner. He'd never get punked like he did on TV live action.
I think animation would be the way to go for a trek show but why Worf? His character had no charisma.
Play more STO Foundry! (You can thank me later.)

Unbunch yer panties!
Joined: Feb 2008

Oddometer: 1,440
If you're in Eureka and heading inland, here's some fun options:
Run up to Orick and take Bald Hills road to Hwy 96.
Hwy 96 to the Salmon River.
SAlmon river road to Forks of the salmon, then take the south fork to Cecilville, and on out to Callahan. Or jump on the North Fork and take the shorter run to Sawyers Bar and Etna.
At Callahan you're on Hwy 3. Turn North to bail out to I-5 Via Etna, Fort Jones, and Yreka, or make a loop back to hwy 96 via the Scott River Road out of Fort Jones (narrow and twisty, limited sightlines).
Or, Turn right (South) (ish). You'll very shortly have two choices, HWY 3 south over Scott Mountain and then through Trinity Center into Weaverville, where you can pick up Hwy 299 in either direction, or you can stay on Gazelle-Callahan road into Gazelle, which will let you out near I-5 North of Weed.
Any of these options leave you with more great riding choices. Dirt options multiply these significantly. Hwy 3 south from Weaverville to hwy 36 (via a short jaunt on 299) is of course a great addition to a ride like this, and once you hit 36 you have more great options-back to the coast or back out to Red Bluff (too hot for me this time of year, but some like it).
If you've never been up the Salmon River, the south fork is spectacular but narrow and twisty. The North Fork is to my taste slightly less spectacular but still narrow and twisty. There's no center line and sight lines are limited. No guardrails either. Often you need to watch for vans racing to pick up their rafters downstream on this ride but this year there seem to be fewer of these as the flows are way down from the usual.
The riding up here is spectacular and varied, and can be hot this time of year. There's just too much to even begin to scratch the surface in a finve-minute post made while watching the clock at 5:00 on Friday....
When in doubt, PIN IT! It may not help, but it'll sure end the suspense...

|Giants 3B Sandoval working to get in better shape
|Written by Admin
|Saturday, 06 April 2013 10:54
Last year's World Series MVP insists he is doing his best to get in tip-top shape, and he's certainly showing he has plenty of range at third base.
After spending the spring working on his defense, Kung Fu Panda made several nice plays behind Barry Zito to back a 1-0 win over St. Louis in San Francisco's home opener Friday - including running down a foul popup near the home bullpen.
Sandoval, who hit three home runs in Game 1 of the Giants' four-game World Series sweep against the Tigers last season, had a stomach bug early in spring training and a sore elbow late in the exhibition schedule.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
Tennessee's governor just signed a highly significant employment litigation reform bill that will benefit employers throughout the state. The new law applies to all causes of action starting July 1, 2014. The bill places caps on the availability of non-monetary damages (pain, suffering, humiliation, embarrassment, etc.) that employees can seek under the Tennessee Human Rights Act (THRA), the Tennessee Disability Act (TDA), and the Tennessee Public Protection Act (TPPA). The caps range from $25,000 to $300,000, depending on the number of employees that the employer employs. The caps do not limit back pay or front pay.
This legislation also eliminates common law claims for retaliatory discharge in any litigation that could be brought under the TPPA. Previously, employees could bring both common law and statutory claims for "whistleblowing," which the statute defines as the refusal to participate in or remain silent about illegal activities. But, under this new legislation, an employee may only pursue such claims under the TPPA, which requires the employee to prove that the alleged whistleblowing was the "sole cause" of the termination. As a result, the new law essentially prevents employees from benefiting from the common law's lower causation standard.
In addition, the new law provides that an employee may not concurrently maintain separate causes of action brought under the THRA, TDA, and TPPA in both state and federal courts based on the same operative facts. Now the state court is required to dismiss the state court action upon motion by the employer.
Finally, the new law eliminates individual supervisor liability that had been available under the THRA—forcing employees to bring their claims against their employer, rather than the individual supervisors or managers involved in decision-making relating to the employee's employment.
These new changes are a "win" for Tennessee employers in their defense of discrimination and retaliation claims. Starting July 1, 2014, the THRA, TDA, and TPPA will be in line with the current state of most federal nondiscrimination laws.
