2013 Highlights: Linfield vs CLU

The 'Cats opened the 2013 home schedule in style in hammering the Kingsmen from Cal Lutheran University. The 38-point margin of victory was the largest against a CLU team in the 2000 season. This game put an end to a 4 year regular season series that ended with Linfield holding a 3-1 edge and these two squads met in the 2009, '10, and '11 playoffs. The 'Cats would be victorious in all three recent post-season meetings meaning these two program played against each other 7 times over a 36 game span.

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!
