I went to high school and played basketball with Limas in Brenham and lets just say that the kid has reached his maximum level already. Never in my life did I understand the hype around him. His work ethic is super lazy and he never made one single big play his entire high school career. At UT he was a solid receiver, but nothing magnificent and nothing that warrants him being a first round pick.

People always wanted to compare him to Roy Williams but he doesn't even have half the heart that he did, and we all know Roy doesn't have much passion to begin with.

I have thought how cool it would be to see Limas in a Cowboys uniform because I could then say I hooped with him and guarded him in practice, but I'd only take a flyer on him after the fourth round.

Thanks for the write up. Please, post more.

Yea, we should all suck this badly during our HS careers.

Sweeds entire game reminds me a lot of Plaxico Burress when Burress came out of college.

He is a very raw receiver but he can go up and get a ball.

IMO he will be a boom or bust player.

He did win us the game at Ohio State.

There ya' go...

Corrected it for ya'

We have no need for a fast tall wr, we should concentrate on getting a strong safety who can't cover or an inside linebacker who can carry the gatorade, oh wait we already drafted those. Honestly I think we should take whoever NE wants because we can't draft worth a flip. We're better off getting FAs we have a better record. How about a sixth TE or a rb like Julius Jones, oh wait two more we picked. that BP and Jeff Ireland wow they are going to show em in Miami. Seriously can Wade be any worse than his predecessors...I can handle our playoff shortcomings but those draft busts like Carpenter just make me want to barf..

Wrist or no wrist, he's still a good value in the late 2nd or early 3rd round.

If you were trying to convince me that you live in a hole and your best friend is a crack in the wall named Theodore, then you've absolutely succeeded.
