Survivor: Guatemala casting SPOILERS

Former NFL QB Gary Hogeboom is going to be a contestant on the upcoming season of Survivor, acc'd to the Detroit Free Press:

Ex-QB Hogeboom a 'Survivor'?

July 25, 2005

Michigan has a contestant on this fall's "Survivor," and he's someone sports fans might remember.

Former Central Michigan and NFL quarterback Gary Hogeboom, a land developer from Grand Haven, will compete on "Survivor: Guatemala," the Free Press has learned.

Taping of the 11th edition of the popular CBS reality show is under way in Central America.

CBS will reveal the contestants in late August, and "Survivor: Guatemala" will debut in mid-September (in Detroit, on Channel 62).

CBS's policy is not to comment on potential contestants during filming. Hogeboom's family and friends can't comment on his status because they have signed strict confidentially agreements with the network. Even when Hogeboom returns, he will not be able to discuss the show until after the episode airs in which he's voted off or becomes the winner.

Bret Hyble, one of Hogeboom's former Chippewas teammates, describes Hogeboom as "a very outgoing person. Once he puts his mind to do something, he does it."

Hogeboom, who turns 47 in August, works out every day. He has a lingering shoulder problem that limits him from playing golf. He volunteers with youth and has been an assistant coach on kids' sports teams, which might help because "Survivor" contestants usually skew younger.

The Grand Rapids Northview graduate and his wife, Kristi, have three daughters and one son, Jake, who briefly tried to walk on for football and basketball at Michigan State and played basketball at Hope College last season. Jake now works in real estate.

Gary Hogeboom starred at CMU in 1976-79. He played in 10 NFL seasons with three teams, including the first six with the Dallas Cowboys, who drafted him in the fifth round in 1980. He finished with 9,436 yards, 49 TDs and 60 interceptions in 79 games.

The possibility that Hogeboom would be on the show was first reported by truedorktimes.com, a "Survivor"-spoiling Web site.

Hogeboom is the first Michigan "Survivor" contestant since Detroiter Clarence Black on "Survivor: Africa" in autumn 2001, the third season of the show. Two Detroit-area contestants participated in the second season in Australia: Michael Skupin, who suffered burns to the hand and had to be evacuated, and chef Keith Famie, who finished in third place.

You probably need to be at least 30 to know who he was.

He was a QB for Cowboys in the early-mid 80s. He and Danny White kind of shared the QB position for several years.

Well, I certainly know Danny White, and have never heard of this guy.

My uncle even played football at UCM, still never heard of the guy.

As a Cowboys fan I remember him all too well Still, it will be interesting to see how a former professional athlete fares during the competition and if he will be targeted for elimination early.

As a Skins fan, I remember him well too. Mainly for his dog performance in the '82 NFC Title game.

That is sooooo 1991.

Survivor: North St. Louis has a much better ring to it.

After checking out a couple of spoiler sites I see that Stephenie (and Bobby Jon) will be the "twist" for this season. They will have to win every challenge to avoid being voted out early

But yet they won't comment on whether or not he is in the cast? However, the family has to keep it a secret? Riiiiiight.

I'm not quite sure what your uncle playing football at "UCM" has to do with anything. Care to elaborate?
