Linfield vs Hardin-Simmons Highlights

Our Video of the week is up and it's the 'Cats 2012 hard fought victory over the Cowboys of Hardin-Simmons. The 'Cats will be headed back to Abilene, Tx. to open the 2013 season vs HSU on Sept. 14th. This will wrap up another two-year series with HSU and I'm not sure if Linfield and the Cowboys will extend beyond 2013.

This won't be the 'Cats first rodeo in Texas as the 2013 contest will be the 6th meeting (2006-09, 2012-13) between the two schools with Linfield holding the slight 3-2 edge. Each team has held down the home field as Linfield dropped a 21-6 loss in 2006, and a last minute 29-22 defeat in 2008 in Abilene. The 2013 rematch is going to be a big challenge but I can't wait to see if the 'Cats can break through down in Texas this 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!
