'Catdome Poster Project: "The Linebacker"

Returning All-American Linebacker Dom Forrest is ready for 2013

Linfield Senior All-American Linebacker Dom Forrest was the perfect player for this poster and Joel and Chris knocked it out of the park.

Our 1st of 4 posters is our take on a former Raider great Lester Hayes' "The Judge". Hayes was a tremendous corner for the Raiders as he was named the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year in 1980, 5x Pro Bowl selection, 6x NFL All-Pro, and 2x Super Bowl Champ. I not a Raider fan (49ers baby) but have always loved this poster.

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!
