He was really fun to watch develop as a player. Perhaps the Lions will draft him in the first round for yet another wide receiver and he can become as great as Roy? Wishful thinking...

Though his days as a Longhorn are coming to an end,
we're going to be seeing him on Sunday for years to come. I'd love to see him as a Cowboy (speaking of which, Oh My God!) or even as a Titan.

I wish you all the best on your surgery, recovery and in the combine.  I hope that you get a great draft position and that you have very successful NFL career.

You provided us with great memories, catches we'll never forget, and great blocking for others.  Your contributions to the NC year were priceless and your Ohio State catch set the tone for the rest of that marvelous year.  Your hard work and development have been evident all along, and I am sorry this injury happened to you in your senior season with the Longhorns.  

The young receivers on the team could use your experience and encouragement as you recover and get ready for the next level.  Please pass on what you can.  Help us to continue the great tradition that so many like Johnny Lam Jones, Wayne McGarity and Mike Adams started.  Roy Williams continued that tradition and raised it up a notch, and you continued in that mold of great Texas receivers.  Help them towards getting there too while you are still here.  

Remember where you came from and never lose the humility the Lord has blessed you with... it will always stand you in good stead.

Hook'em Horns

But even as one of Roy Williams' biggest fans, I had no problem with you wearing number 4 throughout your season.  Like Roy Williams, you will go into the pros and develop into one of the top receivers in the NFL, which will be great to watch.  To put it best:

Even though Vince Young stole the show in 2006, I will remember the catch you made against OSU as long as I will remember the 4th and 5 against USC.

It is certainly disappointing that your Longhorn career has come to an abrupt end.  You were one of the most exciting and talented I have ever watched play in the Burnt Orange.  I hope you have a very successful NFL career and know that you will always be remembered as one of the best, ever.  Please do what you can to help the young guys finish out this season well.

Hook 'em, Limas Sweed!

Limas will take with him a big chunk of our offensive personality.  Who doesn't fondly remember the deep, runaway bombs after practically every interception or fumble last year?  It was like "Hey, you watch film, right?  You know it's coming!  And you can't stop the double move!"

I'll always remember my favorite Sweed moment of all time was that touchdown against Iowa.  I'm standing behind the corner of the endzone and Limas runs right at me, catches the ball and tumbles into the tunnel.  We went nuts!  Then he's hurt on the play, and once he stood up and started walking off with the trainers, I started chanting "Sweed! Sweed! Sweed!"  Within about 10 seconds, half the stadium was doing it, then he pumps the Horns and we all went nuts again!  No one looks more graceful gliding down the sidelines, untouched for six.

Good luck, Limas.  Here's hoping you go to Tennessee and win some Super Bowls!

and good luck in the pros, Limas.  The Texans are on the up and up and could use a #2 receiver!

OMG, Dominance!

Limas, thanks for all the great memories and showing class all the way. You will always be
remembered for the catch at Ohio State that gave
us the great chance to win the NC.
Hope you have a full recovery and are rewarded by the NFL for a job well done. Please help our
youngsters for the rest of this year. We need it!!
I hope you are on the sidelines next year when we
win another NC.
Horns up, good man.
God gave you incredible talent.
Always be humble and remember to Hook'em.

Thanks for the memories, Limas!!!  Recover quickly and best wishes for continued success on Sundays!
