Around SBN: A statistical basis for widespread HATE

Laying it on real thick...

So the short of it is that, last year after the OU game, I jumped quite heavily on the Aaron Ross bandwagon and even started a facebook group: "Ross is the Boss".  Now that The Boss is no longer with us, I'm looking for another senior playmaker to shower with praise and lend his name to my motto for the year.

Star-divide

I've considered Sweed:

I feel the need for Sweed
Limas, His Highness
How Sweed it is!
Or the ever-appropriate:
I'm feeling pretty good about Limas Sweed this year.

Update:
You've suggested Lokey:

Lokey is the key
Lokey B-Lock!
Derrick Lokey is doing a fine job at DT this year.

I plan on holding off on the creation of the group until the chosen one separates himself via big plays, but it's never too early to ask you guys who should be kept under watch.

So, which senior on the 2007 Longhorns will have his name said as if it were a complete sentence this year?  (Keep in mind that you have to introduce your suggestion with a witty/awesome play on all or part of their name)

Nice!

Or to continue that line of thought:

Lokey B-Lock!

Can you

promise to skip this exercise the year that Colt McCoy is a senior?  

I've already grown tired of every new commentator or opponents' beat writer that covers Colt for the first time and thinks he's sooo original for making a pun of his name.

I don't like...

... the idea of a quarterback, unless he's going to be running the ball, or he's Major Applewhite and continually makes dramatic comebacks.  I'm restricting myself to the guys with the ball in their hands, torching opponents with raw athleticism and a dramatic flare.  Anyway, McCoy will likely already have twenty nicknames/phrases by the time he's a senior, like you said.  Each one will invariably have its own group/t-shirt.

good point brooklyn

an example being the Alamo bowl when the commentator thought he unveiled Michael GRiffin's nickname himself aka Crime Dog.

But if you want to talk about just nicknames i like Six Shooter for Colt.

J-mall for J Charles
Big Sweed is Limas' irreplaceable nickname.
Fumble-weed was my name for Ramonce Taylor.
