Where is the Niblett announce?

6th street is the source, you better just go ahead and take that one to the bank.

So Bobby made a comment in today’s coffee and football that guys like Smith, Filsame, Phillips, Zina, Terry, maybe I missed another name or two are taking the next steps in practice.  Then he said he would be shocked if 1-2 of those didn’t leak into the portal.  Thought it was interesting.


We are basically staring our second string defense against Michigan in the bowl game. On one hand that will be good for 26 so we can get clarity on who is likely to be the most ready but on the other hand the bowl game might not be that fun to watch when our defense is on the field.

Treat it as an early spring scrimmage.  Nothing to get upset about.  It's meaningless.

I'd rather be starting a second string defense than going through whatever the hell is happening in Ann Arbor currently.

10-3 vs 9-4 is meaningful to me for some stupid reason.

Running back seems like it could end up a premium NIL mercenary position. The position has been greatly devalued in the NFL but has retained far more of its importance in college despite similar rule changes (probably related to lower QB/WR skill levels, etc.). So these guys have much less to look forward to career earnings wise compared to the other skill positions  and every college carry seems to cost them money because of NFL scouts and analysts worrying about overuse. 

A market inefficiency for the portal and recruiting has been that many schools are treating RB like they're an NFL org, yet the issues at RB aren't the same between CFB and the NFL. Who gives a shit if a guy can only take so many bullets? That's an NFL problem. Is that being addressed now by schools starting to go really big on RBs? Seems likely. Only so many schools can commit major money to QB, RB, WR, depth, and retention. The main market inefficiency exploitable at the moment is just having one of the biggest chip stacks. Corporate NIL is the other, I guess. This helps Texas at QB, where the corporate NIL side is pretty substantial. 

If Texas lands Lacy or Baugh, to go with Cooper and retaining Wisner (we'll see on Wisner), they're flaunting their largesse for this cycle. That could be a $2M+ room.

Devil's advocate--we think that's true because the $9.95 guys are repeating it, and their source is the coaches...

I mean, I get the logic, but our LB and RB depth is pretty thin.  

No, "we" don't think that's true because of anything $9.95ers are saying. I think it's true because it has been fucking true.

Handwringing over two positions that are being handled in both recruiting and the portal to address personnel mistakes and then decrying that as an example of retention issues is bizarre. "We" should be concerned about the mistakes that got Texas to the spot of being thin at LB in the first place, not blaming retention now. It's a byproduct of the stupidity of taking just 1-2 LBs in every cycle. At RB, I'm still somewhat fascinated that some posters here continue to worry over it. They'll have 5-7 guys in the RB room and multiple guys in the room will be high impact players for the 2026 season.

Found the clip - he said he "wouldn't be surprised if 1-2 leave". A little different than what you wrote.

Filsaime or Zina wouldn't shock me. The other three would and would be dick punches.

Also, Bobby said 90% Endries going pro.

We’ve got a 9.95-off on Endries. IT thinks he’s likely staying.

My favorite IT is when they are happy to die on a hill only to surrender to reality at the last minute…

I want us to compete and play well on offense. Arch needs to look good because there’s no excuse there. Defense we are just going to have to understand it’s like a spring game there.

She says off to the draft in 2026 but also posts Texas schedule lol

I don’t think this means anything, I think she’s just saying 2026 is going to be a big season for him with this schedule and heading to the draft after. 

Either way there is no reason to parse player’s parents IG captions as official announcements.

It does help we are playing a 1980s offense. I am hoping Barnes has a big game.
