Blooper Reel: Coach Ron August

Longtime special teams coach Ron August retired this past season after a stellar 42-year coaching career in the high school and college ranks. Coach August spent his last 12 years with his alma mater, Linfield, as the 'Cats special teams guru and produced a number of all-conference and all-american specialists. Ron is not only a great coach but is just a great person and well known for his sense of humor. The video above speaks for itself.

Why "ADvantage Catdome"

I’ve had a number of people ask me why the blog is called ADvantage Catdome. So instead of repeating the explanation over and over, I thought I would just lay it out here.

Back in 1986 my father took me to my very first Linfield game, the final regular season game vs. Pacific (Linfield would roll the Boxers on their way to their 3rd NAIA title). I was 10 years old at the time and I can remember seeing these banners the pep squad/students have hung up on the fences around the Catdome. They read “We have the ADvantage”.

I pulled on my dad’s shirt and asked him what that meant. He pointed to the coaches box in the far back of Memorial stadium and said “You see that man there? That’s Coach Rustchman. He’s Linfield’s advantage.”

It wasn't until later that my dad told me Coach Rustchman’s first name was “Ad”. Get it now? Good. Go ‘Cats!
