And DeuceBowl25 wasn't pretty - DMOsborne won via tiebreaker, getting 4-6 over on Matty "Pinky the Elder" Pinky's 4-6. But a title is in fact a title

THE WEEK THAT WAS

The Georgia/Tennessee game was huge, not only in that Georgia won, but also the total points, as TB meant a ton this week.  Had Tennessee pulled it out with the same score, Mikey Nipp jumps in... but with the loss, he was tossed. Conversely, DMOsborne found himself in the Final Four for the first time since DFCVI, back in 2005, due to the Georgia win. 

Here's how it breaks down...

YOUR FINAL FOUR

1. Matty "Pinky the Elder" Pinky - 8-2 (nailed TB at 0)
2. Mark "The Mighty" Gainey - 8-2 (off by 2 pts at TB)
3. Steven "The Principal" Ray - 8-2 (off by 5 on TB)
4. DMOsborne - 7-3 (off by 1 on TB)

THE REST... now eliminated
5. Coach DiBello - 7-3 (off by 10 on TB)
6. Yours Truly - 6-4 (off by 2)
7. Mikey Nipp - 64- (off by 3)
8. Tommy "The Highlander" McLeod - 5-5 (off by 1)
9. Jacob "Pinky the Pinky" Pinky - 5-5 (off by 3)
10. Lt Dan "Magic Legs" Sellers - 5-5 (off by 7)

Congrats to the Final Four... and to the Separated Six... thank you for a fantastic season...
