Around The 'Catdomeosphere

Linfield hosts 5 home games at the 'Catdome in 2011.

Welcome back to the 1st addition of Around The 'Catdomeosphere for the 2011 season.  The post will appear every Friday during the season where we round up all the articles/video/news tidbits that we can that are related to the 'Cats and their 2011 opponents.  Some interesting articles this season as Lewis & Clark gets the pre-season pub in the Oregonian this year as the team on the rise.  Last year the media was blanketing Pacific with the Boxers restarting their program and then in 2009 the local media focused in on Willamette and their building of a "dynasty" that was going to rule the NWC.  I'm not complaining, because the 'Cats have received plenty of recognition over the years and I guess writing the same old article of Linfield winning the NWC and advancing in the playoffs gets old year after year.  Anyways, here's the 1st round up of the year so be sure to chew on what some of the NWC coaches are saying and thinking about the 2011 season.
