I don't blame him one bit. The money isn't worth developing dementia at 35.

It just kills you that LSU will never have a WR as talented as Swope doesn't it?

Rivalry still denied.

Which is why he'd prefer ya'll use he's a penis. It would cheer him up during these tough times.

A few from past and a few on the way.

Sucks for Swope though. Probably loves the game. It ending this way is harsh.

In only two years as a wide receiver (his freshman year he played running back for most of the season and he declared for the NFL draft after his junior season) he rewrote the SEC record books. He holds the SEC record for receiving yardage in a game (293 vs. Alabama in 2001) and season (1,740 in 2001). He also held the career receiving yardage record with 3,001 yards until 2002 when the record was broken by Georgia receiver Terrence Edwards. Reed also holds the SEC season record for receiving yardage per game (145.0 in 2001) and is second in the career receiving yardage per game (96.8). He was a first-team All-Southeastern Conference (SEC) selection in 2000 and 2001, and a consensus first-team All-American as well as the Fred Biletnikoff Award (2001).

I think quitting is a better word than retiring since he hasn't even started

I never stick up for Corndogs, but I'd take Josh Reed-- a far more accomplished collegiate player, and a bit of a bust by NFL standards-- as one of a host of LSU WRs far better than Swope ever was.
