ADvantage Catdome

Monday, August 26, 2019

First full week in the books for Linfield football! I'll have audio interviews, videos, photos, blog posts and more coming as I relaunch the blog this season. I'm pretty excited to start writing again about Linfield football.

I was able to get out to practice this past Friday night and Saturday afternoon and so far I'm really digging what I saw. We're young in a number of positions but talented. I think the future is bright for the program and there is truly some promise in 2019 but obviously we haven't played a snap yet so and there's 240+ Division III teams feeling the same way. However, there are a few other small observations about this team that are different than the past two years and little things that I believe will add up to large results as this season progresses. Look for an audio post tonight and in the meantime above is our first video of the 2019 season!

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!
