Hartsville shows its heart against Conway and Wilson continues ANOTHER postseason run.  But does either team have what it takes to win this Friday?  I’ll tell you what I’m thinkin’ about Week 13.

Florida quarterback Tim Tebow is every bit as good as advertised. And South Carolina’s defense simply does not have an answer for that caliber of player right now.

As a reporter, my job is to stay objective. But it’s hard not to root for a guy like Ren McKinnon.
The Coastal Carolina senior quarterback had his season cut short after he fractured his hip in the opener against Delaware State. McKinnon, who already missed a season because of an injury, would have likely played a big role for the Chanticleers.

The Hartsville Red Foxes wild ride hit another loop Friday with a 28-21 win against Conway.
Nothing like a little payback to brighten your day.
The Red Foxes looked nothing like the team that allowed the Tigers to score 26 unanswered points last month, and Conway looked like a shell of its normal self.

Thanks for diving into the Fisch Tank.
This week we have some very interesting games on the docket.
Wake Forest vs Clemson
  HUGE game for the Tigers, forget the trap, this is a must win. Clemson needs to play like it’s the playoffs. Look at it as: beat Wake and progress to play Boston College in the second round. Much like the post season, if the Tigers win, they move on to the ACC Championship game.

Three weeks ago, I was on top of the fantasy football world. Coming off my best week of the season, my Morning News Football League team, the Reese’s Pieces, was 5-1 and leading the division.
Now, I’m coming off three losses, and I’m in danger of falling out of a playoff spot.

Oh My! We get treated to a Conway-Hartsville rematch.  Who do I think will win the Battle at the Backyard?  That’s in this week’s What Lincoln is Thinkin’.

South Carolina’s defense took a physical beating from Arkansas running back Darren McFadden on Saturday night. One important question for that once-proud unit now is whether it can bounce back mentally and psychologically and give the Gamecocks a chance against Florida and Clemson.

Can Clemson prove that they won’t play down to their opponent?  As Head Coach Tommy Bowden preaches Wallace Wade Stadium is no Death Valley, it will be dull and an atypical ACC experience. So does this mean Clemson will be able to take care of business?

Who survives the first round of the playoffs, and does Hartsville have a prayer of making the postseason?  I’ll tell you what I’m thinkin’ for Week 11.

For the first time in what seems like forever, the top three in the AP poll stayed the same in college football. Is that because they are that good, or is it a lack of star power that has rendered this season unappealing to me?

After fumbling on the first two drives, Lake View coach Jewell McLaurin must have been thinking, “Isn’t this the reason why we didn’t play on Friday?“
The Wild Gators didn’t look much like region champs in the first half, fumbling three times and falling behind Hemingway 12-0.
But like they’ve done so many times before, they found a way to win.

The Marlboro County public address anouncer said before Friday’s game that it was “football weather.“
And it was—provided you don’t much care for offense.
In a classic defensive struggle enhanced by poor playing conditions, the Marlboro defense made plays when it had to and was pretty much responsible for 13 of Marlboro’s 20 points.

There was definitely a lot of head scratching among college football teams last weekend, especially for two teams in the Palmetto State.

A couple of wild games in Week 9… but who needs wins in Week 10 to make the playoffs?  I’ll tell you what I’m thinkin’ about the final week of the regular season.
