DEL.ICIO.USPeachtree Ridge’s Kevin Minter has chance to play early at LSU
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Peachtree Ridge linebacker Kevin Minter, who committed to LSU, said he liked the idea of playing for the defending national champions. However, Minter said he liked the opportunity to see early playing time for the Tigers even better.
“I thought it was the perfect time to go there if you’re a linebacker,” Minter said. “They won’t have a lot of depth at linebacker after this season, so I feel like I have a good chance of [contributing] as a freshman. That was a factor in my decision.”

Welcome to Tigerland Kevin!
You will have the opportunity to play early, and you may be doing this with the double-defending-national-championship-team!
Some folks are writing us off, because we lost a stellar class of seniors and the problematic Perriloux. However, we have the luxury of flying low and proving some pundits wrong.
Some SEC brethren carped about our NC game opportunity, after winning the SEC. You cannot go to the NC game UNLESS you are the SEC Champion, when you are a conference team member.
I guess it’s rocket science in some football circles. It is rather easy for me to comprehend, however.

TNT, I agree. Be it LSU, Florida, UGA, etc… The SEC champ should automatically play for the Natl Championship each year!
