Rick's Bio

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.

While I usually don't promote articles, I saw fit to promote this one. I feel people are not paying attention to what this article is about. They probably should. No matter if you are a fan of Florida or LSU, this is something you need to remember going into tomorrow night.

The Heisman Trophy isn't the same as it use to be. What are the faults and what can be done in order to get the bronze figurine back to where it once was?

Don't be shy!

The Michigan/Notre Dame game has the feel once again of a typical rivalry game. Both teams look good last week, but see what the Irish NEED to do in order to be successful for a second Saturday in a row. Don't be shy, even you Wolverines!

The SEC West is extremely crowded. I've posted the first two in a series of three articles on a revised look at the front runners.

I tried to be objective and left my 'colored' glasses in the case, please take a look if you've got a minute and let me know how I did!

I hope you 'like' it!
