Gary's Bio

Gary is a Journalism major at The University of Alabama, hoping to one day be a professional sports writer. He writes for CrimsonConfidential.com in addition to Bleacher Report.

His favorite sports writer is Gary Parrish, senior writer for college basketball at CBS Sportsline. His favorite sport to cover is college basketball, especially projecting the NCAA tournament field in the months prior to March.

He's wanted to be a sports writer since about age 14 when he started interacting with others on message boards.

Gary welcomes all feedback: gary.lloyd87@gmail.com.

Congrats on the "promotion" for lack of a better term. Should really help out in the attempt to reach the major dream.

Will do my best Gary—they ultimately make the final decision of what to publish and what not too, but I'll definitely bring their attention to your piece.

Thanks as always for the submission.

Good for you man! Parrish comes off as a good person in his articles, blog, and mailbag, and that's a great thing for a person to do. I'm so jealous that you have a renowned professional contact to add to your resume when you job hunt and graduate!

You write well already, but Parrish is a great model to patent your writing skills after. Best of luck man, hopefully you find the pay site you're after.

I actually have no idea how my articles got on there. I google searched my name once and I found it out, but no I don't get paid.

I like how you list Gary Parrish as your favorite writer. He's easily the best writer Sportsline has, and is a very knowledgeable college basketball guy who can be self-deprecating yet arrogant all in the same article.

No, I'm not paid, are you launching a sports and are willing to pay? Or do you know of any sites that will?
