True-42

Nick name? True-42 Position played or most likely to play?  Offensive Tackle (I wore #63 in high school) or MLB Favourite CFL team? Edmonton Eskimos Why are they your favourite team? It is the home town team, and they were winners more often than not. If you were abducted by Super Models and forced to cheer for another CFL team who would it be? Saskatchewan Roughriders (my dad played for them). Other League Favourite teams? Hamilton Tigercats, but thanks to meeting great fans in all cities, there are no teams that I can't stand.

Favourite CFL stadium? Ivor Wynne for access to players and atmosphere, Commonwealth for creature comforts.
Favourite current player? Terry Ray, then Rob Hitchcock.
Favourite former player? Dan Kepley
Favourite Food? Tacos
Favourite Beer? Labatt's Lite
Favourite Alcoholic Beveridge? Beer
Favourite Non-Alcoholic Beveridge? Water

Favourite Tunes? Rock (The Who, Max Webster); Roots (Goose Creek Symphony and various Yukon artists)
Favourite Movie? Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Hobbies? CFL, collecting vintage clothes, NTN, movies
Preferred banned substance smuggling technique? Don't do it anymore, but two cans of beer fit into one Pringles can.  Note:  you need several Pringles cans to make this worthwhile.
Favourite Grey Cup Memory? The snow in Hamilton on game day, 1996.  I did snow dances all week to make it happen because I thought the Eskimos would play better in the snow.  And it WAS a fumble!
Best Grey Cup Host City? Probably Edmonton, but I've loved them all.
My dream vacation is.... Cross-Canada CFL tour; plus a major tour of Canada's north.
Favorite team memory? Driving home from a meeting listening to the end of the 1996 Western Final when Sean Fleming kicked to win and I hit a snow bank laughing and screaming.  Also, in Football 202 where I flattened Bennie Goods (man, the look on his face ...).
Strangest thing you have seen at a football game? A ton of snow, a bright sun, and thousands of genuinely happy, smiling faces when Edmonton beat Winnipeg 68-7 in 1997.  I've never seen so many fans in such a pleasant mood - not even at Grey Cups.
Favourite CFL uniform? Hamilton Tigercats
Words you live by?  "Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can."  (John Wesley).
"The answer to Life, the Universe, and Everything is 42." (Douglas Adams).
