Around The Catdome'Osphere

Get to one of the best venues in Small College football tomorrow.

I figured this was the best time to roll out our first round up of the season.  I haven't done one as of yet because it's a pain in the backside to track down all of the links but I found the motivation this week to make it happen.  Lots of ground to cover this week as we're about 20 links deep.  Only one NWC student paper has dropped the ball so far this school year (Pacific) but the rest of the school papers have current news to offer up.  Not going to address to lame "wreck homecoming" article from PLU's student paper.  What I will say is that football programs this day and age have little to no input on who they play for homecoming (ask Case Western about that).  Would I rather see L&C or UPS for homecoming? Of course I would but it's a college wide decision so it is what it is.

If you want to compete, Linfield is the place to do it.
