Wildcat coaches and players, thanks for another great year.    28 years of watching you play is always enjoyable.   Of course, the loss hurts.    But you can be proud!

Next year.

GO CATS! GO!

Will Josh Hill and Tyler Steele coming back for sure ?

They are both rehabbing and working towards a 2013 return.   Hope Domo will have a quick recovery as he had about a fine as a year as more recent Linfield All-American defenders.  Great Linebacker.

Congratulations to the Cats on yet another fantastic run.  Proud to be along for the ride.

A Tip of my Top Hat to the Cats on another fine year.

You won with class, and unfortunately today you lost, but with class. Keep your heads up,  and remember your ....WILDCATS! Always do it the Linfield way!
A few days from now you will be able to look back and realize what a great year it was.. I hope you  had as much fun playing as I did watching
To the Sr.'s, the past 4 years have been a lot of fun to watch, 42 - 5 says it all, Great Job!, ....
Thanks for the memories.

GO WILDCATS!

A great season in 2012, but we can reload for 2013!  I so wanted the Red and Purple to come to Salem this year.   Another year!! Gave Karma to all my friends.  Have a Merry Christmas and a grand New Year. I'll be sitting on the side with the Press Box where the second tier of seats begin, at the 50 yard line.  It's the side that Linfield was on when you'all were here last time. You know, last time that UMHB went up to Mt Union for a semi-final game, they beat Mt. Union--the year they met you'all in the Stagg. Have to see what next Saturday brings.

Linfield coaches, players and fans,

While it hurts us all right now, let's not forget how good Linfield is, year-in and year-out.   Here is the best of the best since 2000:

Division III Football
Through December 1, 2012
2000-2012
                           
                                   National               
Team                           Champions          Win-Loss        Win %       Last Losing Season                     
Mount Union                     6                180-7             96%               1977
Mary Hardin-Baylor                              139-20            87%               1999
Linfield                             1                120-20            86%               1955       
UW-Whitewater                 4                136-29            82%               1999

Wesley                                              126-29            81%               1989   
St. John's                         1                125-31            80%               1967
Wheaton                                            115-30            79%               1997
Wittenburg                                         114-31            79%               1989

North Central                                      105-39            73%               2001
St. Thomas                                          96-45            68%               2007   
         
Also, the Wildcats would have been even better without so many key injuries in 2006, 2007 and 2008.    And, maybe this year also.

There is every reason for Linfield to hold their heads high, even after a hard loss.

GO CATS! GO!

That's not what all the girls say with ALL those $$$  "you're the high roller man DOC"..

WE still have time to meet the twins AT the NFR in Vegas ..  More  fun on the bull at Gilley's ..

Next year.

GO CATS! GO!

My feelings exactly George. It's always a pleasure to listen to or watch the Wildcats. Time to reload and get ready for next season. 

[wildcat11]

linfield fans, feel your pain.  good season and sounds like you will be good again next year.

Thanks Wesleydad.  Getting so close again and not getting over the hump is hard but the trill of the pursuit never gets old.  Looking forward to the 'Cats taking us on another ride in 2013.

Don't enter here without some respect for one of the best programs in DIII.  Any WIAC team that comes to the Catdome knows they have a game on their hands.

[criswyly]

Painful loss for the Cats....but we all know that Linfield is still one of the elite teams in DIII.  I can live with that.  There's tons of teams that would love to be where Linfield is at....IMO there are years ahead where Linfield will raise the Walnut & Bronze once again.  In the meantime, "IT'S ALL GOOD."  Winners are not losers when the scoreboard comes out against them.
