Robledo is everywhere!<\/p><\/div>\n

Kick it!<\/p>\n

Go Michigan!<\/p>\n

Note to Those Interested: Jason Heilman was a unanimous pick among The Mid staff\u2026<\/p>\n

Carlos Purser didn\u2019t get enough credit for the job he did heading the San Gabriel defense line in 2011<\/p>\n

Go Detroit! Beat New Orleans!<\/p>\n

Stanford kicker Jordan Williamson is the reason I believe a rule should be implemented making kickers and punters one of a team\u2019s 22 starters. Eliminate the specialists, because no matter how much we attempt the touchy-feely-win as a team-lose as a team mantra\u2026It\u2019s not true when it comes to the kicker. Jordan Williamson lost the Fiesta Bowl for his team last night. Lost it.<\/p>\n

In the old days a quarterback was expected to handle kicking duties\u2026and here\u2019s something else, by eliminating the specialists you\u2019ll get less field goals and more touchdowns.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll take Rosemead\u2019s Matt Koffler in the Iowa Caucuses today.<\/p>\n

Safety Ryan Clark doesn\u2019t play in high altitude, Ben Roethlisberger still hobbling, and now Rashard Mendenhall is done for the season\u2026Mmm? Okay I like the Steelers 28-7 against the Broncos this weekend.<\/p>\n

Abandoning Tim Tebow? No…It\u2019s just I never said he was a great quarterback; lousy motion\/soft arm\u2026On the other hand if you are going to play to his strengths you can\u2019t wait until you are in third and long before you let him throw. Not trying to sound too much like an Oliva or MacMillan, but play-action for Denver works better on first and 10, not third and 13.<\/p>\n

Whatever happened to Smush Parker?<\/p>\n

We\u2019re doing a \u201cNewcomer of the Year\u201d award for both the Southeast and Mid-Valley divisions\u2026first one will be announced tomorrow\u2026the second on Friday\u2026<\/p>\n

Stevie R. writes college football for the Trib, but it\u2019s always Pants Robledo\u2019s mug I see on the field every year after the game.<\/p>\n

Note to Matt Flynn: Stay in Green Bay\u2026Don\u2019t test the waters\u2026put in ten years behind Aaron Rodgers and go on to become a head coach in the NFL.<\/p>\n

Reason 47 for hating fantasy football? Peterson, who never made the playoffs prior to this season, won the Mid Valley championship\u2026The world has gone insane.<\/p>\n

I agree with Villathedevil on this one\u2026The chains on the final play at the Rose Bowl weren\u2019t set. Welcome the correction, but the chains have to be set before the clock starts after a first down\u2026The ref was clearly starting the clock before the sideline crew was set\u2026Wisconsin should have had one more play\u2026With that said\u2026<\/p>\n

Oh, I\u2019ve always been an Oregon Ducks fan.<\/p>\n

I knew Desmond Reed had a great year for Azusa\u2026I knew he scored 36 touchdowns\u2026but it didn\u2019t hit me until now\u2026The dude scored 36 touchdowns\u2026<\/p>\n

The staff has decided, but I\u2019m still on the fence for Southeast coach of the year\u2026<\/p>\n

Final Note to Matt Flynn: On second thought Jason Garrett took that route, so take all the money you can now and buy a house in Solvang.<\/p>\n

The Dude abides\u2026<\/p>\n
