Introduce Yourselves!

[Hoop27]

Hi all!

My name is Shane Hoopfer. I'm a Stamps fan living in Calgary. I also do blogging for www.prosportsblogging.com covering the Stamps, Flames, and Mariners, and am the director of CFL content on the site. Our CFL coverage is starting at the end of this week!

I'm looking forward to the start of the season! And hearing what people think about their teams and the CFL in general.

Saskfan4life here, born and raised in Saskatoon and currently living in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. Of course I'm a diehard Rider fan. Years ago, I was a regular on Total-CFL, and I still contribute to the occasional discussion on the official CFL site. I played in one of the first Snow Bowls, in Winnipeg in '97. I played on the same high school football team as Warren Muzika, who went on to play in the CFL with Hamilton and Winnipeg, and my cousin, Gene Makowsky. I coach a pee wee football team, and referee bantam and high school games in the Prince Albert area. Outside of football, I enjoy acting in community theatre, and musically, I love '60's & '70's classic rock, especially KISS. For the past 7 seasons or so, almost every game I've gone to, I've combined my passions for KISS & the Riders & dress up as "Green Gene", a Rider-ized Gene Simmons costume with the black Pilsner Rider flag as my cape, and some green in the makeup and hair. I've made it on to the big screen at Mosaic stadium a few times, on the front page of the Regina Leader-Post's sports section once, and on the front page of the Calgary Sun after last year's Grey Cup, but I've never been on TSN... Yet...
