2010 Fall Camp: Monday Night Lights

Your Linfield Wildcats had a rare late night practice last night at the 'Catdome. The 'Cats kicked it off at 8:30 PM under the bright lights at Maxwell Field. It was a picture perfect night for the team to continue to work towards their season opener down in Thousand Oaks vs the California Lutheran Kingsmen.

Wildcat11 AND Mrs. 11 was there to take in the action. We'll have some video clips of practice up on Wednesday and Thursday but today I offer up up a photo slideshow. This was the first time Mrs. 11 went to a practice, and has a former hoops coach, she was curious to watch how practice was organized. On the way home she was impressed with the organization, fully utilizing time and space, and the progression of individual skill work that lead to team time. Mrs. 11 is one sharp lady.

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!
