He then attended Central Michigan University, where he became quarterback of their football team before being drafted by the NFL. In 1980, Hogeboom was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys and played with them for six years. He then played three years with the Indianapolis Colts, followed by a year with the Phoenix Cardinals and a year with the Washington Redskins. Since retiring from the NFL, Hogeboom has become a real estate developer and landscaper. He also serves as volunteer coach for high school football, basketball, tennis and soccer. He previously volunteered his time with Youth for Christ conducting Youth Ministry Work. Hogeboom believes he is a useful member of SURVIVOR because he is a team player, a hard worker, had lots of outdoor skills and is very athletic. He believes he can win because he's a fierce competitor and he likes to have fun. He enjoys hunting and horseback riding, all sports, and spending time with his family. Hogeboom has been married to Kristi for 24 years and is father to Heidi, Jake, Kasi and Jami. They have one dog, one cat and three horses. His birthday is August 21, 1958.

I like him....seems smart to me to not admit to who he is/what he did in the NFL. Plus he seemed like a nice guy.

Ohh this is the football player. Wish I had checked to see what he looked like before last night so I could pay attention to him. Hmm played for the Colts though. That's a strike against him in my book.

Oh how could you hate the Colts?? Peyton Manning is my boy!!!!!!!!! But Gary, just becuase you played for the Colts, you're the bomb (is that still a word?) and I want to see you win the Final Tribal Council. (Wouldn't it be fun to see him get the money, and have everyone get all PO'd at him becuase he's got a ton from his former job. )

Because I'm from Baltimore and still remember the Colts trucks sneaking out in the middle of the night.

Mocha, that was a bad day for the NFL. But Gary really didn't have much to do with that decision. Keep that in mind.

So far, I can't seem to warm up to this guy. I think it's the fact that at least 50% of the time his lower lip seems to be hanging loose. It makes him seem less intelligent than he possibly is.

One of the reasons he's hiding his former job is because people equate NFL with megabucks. Gary was second string behind Danny White when he played for the Cowboys and his years were before you made $20 million for one game.

Well, he seems pretty proud of his past now. He wasn't that great! He was an average-to-below-average player in the NFL. He didn't make big money, and so I can see why he hid his past occupation. He didn't make big money because he wasn't a premiere player. He was a "spare". I liked him when he was with my Cowboys, only because I was an impressionable teen, and he was the flavor of the month in sports. But truth be told, Hogeboom wasn't a very good pro QB. As a Survivor, he came across early as an athletic, father influence. As the game wore on, he became the elderly Jamie...contantly worried about his position within the group and not very secure in himself. I think he's got a pretty good life outside the game, and he'll be able to return to it, so I don't feel too bad for the guy. He could have played better, but I liked one of his last lines about Steph...the starstruck/autograph thing....I cracked up.

Did I hear right that he lost 30 pounds in 30 days? Good grief, if that's so, he (and probably all/most of the other Survivors) must have been absolutely starving all the time. No wonder we're seeing so many ribs sticking out!
