Dave Dickenson takes over Stampeders' Twitter account, with hilarious results

Various CFL teams and even the league itself have been doing "Twitter takeovers," where a player, coach or executive answers questions directed at the team or league account, but few have been as notable and outright hilarious as new Calgary head coach Dave Dickenson's takeover of the Stampeders' account Friday. Here are some of the best tweets he sent out:

There's some great stuff in there from Dickenson, particularly the response to Mueller (a defensive assistant with the team, and a former CIS and CFL QB), the three-word description of John Hufnagel (the team's former HC and current GM/president, so Dickenson's boss, and the Patrick Roy-to Jeremy Roenick-esque response to hecklers. It's neat to see him show off his personality and sense of humour this way, and it's an awesome way to connect with fans. Good for him and the team for doing this.
