About Rick »

Hello, my name is Rick Gillispie AKA Drunken Gator.
I am 32. I love college football and college basketball and Hockey. I am married with 2 kids and one on the way.

I love to write about sports to a fan base that is untouched compared to anything else.

Sports is a release for me. I can relax at home and enjoy watching my favorite team play nothing can beat that.

I have just published a battle cry for (LSU) Tiger Nation. It's a must read for Tiger fans and it might be my best literary effort to date, I hope everyone will enjoy regardless of team or sport affiliation.

Thanks in advance - HB
