Folks have asked about the portal and what are next steps for the Longhorns.

I think the coaches and the personnel team are waiting to see what, if anything, transpires internally over the next 36 hours or so.

The timeline to enter the portal closes at 11:59pm tomorrow.

After the portal closes, I expect Texas to address any potential additional needs.

I would not be surprised if the number is 8 heading into the fall, with part of that being a new guy that is an instant starter who enables you and the others that have been squatting to pee about the WR room to pull yourselves together and stand up straight once again.

Niblett is more of a Scatback/RB3 type than true WR at this point.

I'll be pretty surprised if Niblett and Butler are each still on the roster by Monday.

They don't seem to want Niblett to leave, but they don't know what to do with him, either.

Butler, seems like what they want to do with him is to have him stand in just the right spot in Sarkisian's office, just as one of Sarkisian's minions pulls the trapdoor lever, hidden behind a two-way mirror in the next room. 

I would not be surprised if the number is 8 heading into the fall, with part of that being a new guy that is an instant starter who enables you and the others that have been squatting to pee about the WR room to pull yourselves together and stand up straight once again.

What does this mean? Is he saying that after no one else can enter the portal (presumably, any Longhorns would be in), Texas will address its needs in the few days left?

 
Or that Texas will address its needs its needs after the portal period is over (How?)?

The first - but when you say "few days left", I'm not aware of a deadline for those in the portal, to sign.  (Other than the academic semester deadlines, etc..).

Have fun in lovely Lubbock or Idaho. 

Obviously you’ve never been to Southern Idaho

Edit: meant to quote the post about Lubbock and Idaho having nothing in common. Nothing fun about Southern Idaho, unless you’re into depression and/or meth.

Except for West Yellowstone and Targhee in the SE, Sun Valley in the South, and Boise in the SW.

I lived in Sun Valley, wouldn’t consider anything in the mountains “south” in Idaho. I’m talking about Twin Falls, Pocatello, and the barren, flat, dusty, depressing, smelly places south of the mountains, pedant. Biggest difference from Lubbock and northwest Texas is quantity of Mormons.

Nahlin saying, for whatever it's worth (not much these days), that he doesn't expect Texas to add another WR and the big names at the position he expected to enter the portal never did.

They were all scared off by Parker Livingstone.

If Butler portals we are almost going to have as many scholarship running backs as wide receivers.

One thing folks don’t seem to be accounting for, including the moron you’re referencing, is that grad transfers are not bound by the portal timelines. They can decide to transfer whenever the fuck they like.

The deadline is just for players to register in the portal to be eligible to transfer to another school. They can decide which school to transfer to after the portal closes.

So, Bobby is saying Texas will see how the dust settles when the portal closes with 1) its own roster (how many and which spots open up), and 2) what players are available in the portal to fill any vacancies on the roster.

Mario Cristobal just wants more stupid ways to lose close games, I guess.

I'm all for it.  Anything that involves that putrid program losing painfully, count me in.

Does Nahlin realize it isn’t t closed yet? Also could be the 48 hour window before the kids are actually posted in the window as the schools I’m sure hold off as long as possible. 

If I'm not mistaken that 48 hours is workdays and does not include weekends.

I used to drive between Denver and Rock Springs, Wyoming, including the Red Desert region are the Great Divide Basin, a unique endorheic drainage basin completely surrounded by the Continental Divide. Most people in Colorado said it was the most god forsaken place on the planet.  There was not a place on the entire 300+ mile drive that you couldn't see a  snow capped mountains on the horizon.

God forsaken place? No way.

I have also driven all over west Texas, through Brownfield and Levelland and and No Trees, many times. Ground that is so flat it seems you can see the the curvature of the earth. 

While driving though Idaho, a forest fire closed the highway and forced us to camp in Salmon, along the Salmon River. Not much beats camping with the family next to a clear, gurgling river, under a smoke induced canopy of a brilliant bluish-salmon colored fog.

Southern Idaho may be flat and dusty at times, but you would never confuse it with Lubbock. Unless you were blind with no sense of smell or touch or, you just had no sense, period.

Okay so starting caliber receiver, graduate transfer, will make me stand when I pee.

I think we’re zeroing in on a name.

Absolutely.  I drive through Idaho twice a year as we spend summers in Whitefish.  There is no part of Idaho I have driven through that isn't beautiful, IMO.

Fast forward to late October, Bert is riding shotgun in a Lamborghini driven by Carson Beck thru the wildly illuminated streets of South Beach as the hottest women you’ve never imagined possible throw themselves at them. One girl asks another, “These guys are weird looking, who are they? The other girl replies, “I don’t know, but they must be somebody!”  In the background, the radio discusses Miami’s “inexplicably bad loss to Stanford at home, as the nightmare season continues…”

 

 

 

Nice, Vito ... and a little Mittyesque.

"As their Lambo and their season floundered in the surf, Bert and Beck brushed their bangs and banked their NIL, inscrutable to the last."
