About Hank »

I live in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where i have spent most of my life. I write on this site because i love sports, and hope to get a college degree in journalism at the University of Alabama. I love the Alabama Crimson Tide, but am not biased. I don't focus only on the Crimson Tide, but also the SEC: the most dominating conference in college football. Please check out my blog at BamaSportsblog.com

New Article: Tide Survives in Last Stand: Perfect Outcome in Long Run

published by Hank Gray
