I don't know what the relationship between Hamm and Elliott is, but this is pure gold.
I don't think he has done anything too stupid this cycle. The only thing I can think of, is when he said DT Jordan Elliott wasn't a priority for A&M and that his verbal offer wasn't committable. Elliott posted a picture a few days later of a written offer from A&M, saying something like "I told you I had an offer" or something along those lines.
This is supposedly a video of Kevin Sumlin highly intoxicated after the Ole Miss loss:

This should be a lesson for longhorn fans. We don't necessarily want these 5 star kids with giant egos on the same team. Nick Saban might be able to handle them, but Sumlin and Strong don't have the resumes to do so IMO. Luckily Strong does not appear to be 5 * jerk like Sumlin.
We must have good locker room kids. I am hoping this comes to fruition once Charlie has the personalities he wants. I'm still disturbed by one of our players not understanding the problem with halftime phone use. Maybe this phone stuff needs to go on Charlie's (five or six?) Commadment Board.
Meanwhile, let's get better.
Already out there that strong "would listen" to Miami...
ESPN's Brett McMurphy's so called "source". I don't see Miami paying the 15 mil buyout.

LOL Miss St. getting back into the top 25 after beating Kentucky. I guess they also beat Louisiana Tech, Troy and NWSt.
Strong isn't going anywhere tbh
I call bs on this one. Its definitely him, no doubt about it. But I call bs that it was from Saturday night. Didn't the team fly back after the game? It doesn't make any sense. Whoever posted that was waiting for the right time. This probably happened at a convention months ago or something like that. Pretty hilarious nonetheless.
I was reading some of the Ag boards and they think it was from a coaching convention last year.
If true, nothing wrong about that. Nothing wrong as in his job is on the line. Pretty embarrassing though and can definitely be used against him in recruiting. But then again, will Strong ever tell a family, "Sumlin is a drunk." I just don't see that. Pretty embarrassing for the program too.

Iowa State announces Mark Mangino out as offensive coordinator. Todd Sturdy takes over. Paul Rhoads says he and Mangino not on the same page
Some great photos from Saturday's game against K-State:

On OB, a lot of people were saying how they prefer the burnt orange color of the wet jersey as opposed to the light orange color of the jersey when dry. I agree.
Syracuse and tight end transfer Chris Clark have parted ways one week after Clark committed to the Orange:

Highlights from Higdon's recruiting chat
- Tren'Davian $#@!son wants to play for Charlie. Texas holds the cards, and they feel the situation is fine.
- Both Jordan Elliott and Denzel Okafor wanted to attend the K-State game, but couldn't due to weather. Relationships are continuing to build. Watch for how often Elliott shows up on campus in the near future.
- Miami doesn't have too many commits we'd go after, 3-4 max.
- The recruits are proud of the way Texas has fought back from a 1-4 start.
- Jordan Elliott will continue to enjoy the process for now. Not often you get 5 paid trips to the universities of your choosing.
- The Texas vs. A&M recruiting battles go in cycles... who will end on a high note? Sumlin can't get out of his own way right now, he is his own worst enemy. Let's see how each team finishes
- Erick Fowler and Rahssan Thornton are the two Fox targets Texas has the best chance of landing. No plans to offer Sci Martin.
-
Things on the OL side of recruiting are coming together exactly the way I thought as we head into November...just gotta close em out
- S Innis Gaines probably won't end up with a commitable offer from Texas by NSD.
- Brandon Jones and Deontay Anderson both need to get back to Texas for a visit. They've gone dark (which isn't too unusual at this point in the season). Texas still believes they are right in the mix for both players.
-
Kyler Murray bought into the lies of Sumlin... Sumlin promised Murray 25 snaps a game. How's that working out so far?
- This should be a full recruiting class. We could end up with ~25 based on expected attrition after the season ends. 5 of those will be OOS guys.
- Hudson, Okafor, Delance, Whaley, Jones, Anderson, Thornton, Fowler, McCulloch, Jackson are the kids Texas will wait on until NSD if need be.
- Staff has not remained in contact with Miami DE Joseph Jackson. He more or less closed off his recruiting after committing to Miami.
- Patrick Hudson will take his OV to Texas, and we will go from there. Andrew Fitzgerald will also be back in Austin (good sign).
- Look for us to ramp up pressure on G Chris Owens if 'Bama's OL coach goes to Miami.
- No plans to sign any JUCO players.
- Texas keeps all options open with in-state kids. If changes happen at A&M that affect their 2016 class... look out.
Some people on OB (just random posters) have speculated that Kyler Murray's issues at A&M could push his former teammate, Gregory Little, towards UT. It's probably just wishful thinking, but it's a happy thought.
People seem to think he's headed to aggy
Hearing Seth Russell Baylor starting QB done for the year with broken bone in his neck. Maybe career ending... Will know more after surgery. Sucks balls for the kid.
Do they have a backup nearly as good?
