Around The 'Catdome'Osphere

Team, Excellence, Attitude, Class

I love me a good link round-up playoff edition style!  Lots of chewy playoff fodder to get you ready for tomorrow's highly anticipated 1st round game between YOUR Linfield Wildcats the Lutes of Pacific Lutheran (noon kickoff).   Don't think I totally ignored the rest of the conference as the remainder of the NWC wrapped up their seasons last week and we have your stories on those games below.  The 2012 All-NWC team came out this week and I'll address that at a later time.  Very happy to see a number of Wildcats get well deserved recognition but I still have some bones to pick with the NWC coaches about some the structure of how this team is put together.  That's for another time.  All that really maters is a huge playoff game (aren't they all?) between two Northwest Conference teams.  Get to the 'Catdome and get loud!  Go 'Cats!
