Around The 'CatdomeO'sphere

Old School Catdome

Bam!  Lots of action in our weekly link round-up of news on our Linfield Wildcats and the Northwest Conference.  Check out D3.com's article on their projected regional rankings and Keith McMillan adds his thoughts on his current top 50 in DIII.  Willamette and Portland State obviously came with a good amount of coverage in the I-AA vs DIII game, and yes,  I'm still calling schools like Portland State "I-AA".  The love for Lewis & Clark continues by various media outlets, Whitworth is feeling darn good about where they're headed after breaking their 4 game skid.  However, my favorite of the week has to be the article from the CLU student paper on an issue with their new stadium.  Classic.
