A loyal reader of ADvantage Catdome and a Linfield fan from Texas sent in this photo of "Gomez The Wildcat" sporting some Linfield gear. If you guys have photos you want to send in of you or your family with some Linfield swag on, just fire off an email to Wildcat11 at catdomealumni@yahoo.comI freaking love it that Linfield is back at the 'Catdome tomorrow in what should be a pretty dang cool day. Yeah, the weather folks are calling for rain but I can deal with mid-October rain for a few hours (just not during the Alumni Game please). We have more than just article links today as we have some video clips from the Spokane news stations and a radio interview with Coach Joe Smith too. Tomorrow we'll pump out our NWC picks before we head out to the 'Catdome and I'll see you back here on Sunday with game interviews and some clips from the Alumni/JV game. Be safe out there and Go 'Cats!

This is shameful- the initial letter from the mommy and the back and forth that follows. These people should be ashamed of themselves. It is an indication of how overly involved some parents feel they are entitled to become even in college athletics.
If community members (alumni and parents alike) are unhappy then there are a series of steps that should be taken...and none of those steps involve posting criticism on a forum like the Almanac.
I don't know anything about the coaching situation at Menlo, but I know that this type of behavior is corrosive on a lot of levels. Hopefully everyone involved can grow up and communicate in a way that shows maturity and legitimate concern for their athletes and program.
