Recaps of Week 7 games

The Week That Was
Whereas Matt Latta joined the "3 Weekly Win" club last week, Drew Morris joined an even more exclusive club this week... his 7-1 record this weekend was good enough to take the week, his first week win since Week 9 of DFC III in 2002. He joins Michael Nipp and Eddy McBroom as the only ones to capture 3.

Finishing 2nd is David Mark Osborne at 6-2. Its notable that even though he has one weekly win to his name (DFC V, Week 1) he's finished 2nd for the week six times in his career.

For 3rd is Tom Johnson, making a huge comeback in the last few weeks, at 6-2. The rest of the top ten all finished at 5-3, starting with Daniel Powell in 4th, Jason Barnette and Yours Truly tied for 5th, Matt Latta in 7th, Sarah Hasha in 8th, Mark Gainey in 9th and Tim Wasyluka in 10th.

Also Finishing:
4-4 - Ty Coffey, Justin Glenn, Eddy McBroom, Tyler Campbell, James Hawbaker, Jason Duren, Tommy McLeod, Jenn Ernst, Gina Williams, Tad Roose
3-5 - Angie Pilgrim, Tebe Shaw, Garrett Cheney, Lori Smith, Eddy Mc Jr, Scott Latta, Jon Osborne, Michael Nipp, Ryan Sherman
2-6 - Jason Demastus

Standings

Fulaytar Conference
North Division
In what would normally be a division title year for Matt, this is the year that David Mark picks to dominate. The DFC Power Poll now has 1-2 coming out of this division, and surprise, surprise, Ty Coffey is suddenly looking like a playoff contender. Angie takes a huge tumble from the poll to 17th overall, and coupled with Tom's continuing success in the last few weeks, finds herself at the bottom of the divison.
DM Osborne, 38-18 (11.33) (22-12) (16-6)
Matt Latta, 35-21 (11.14) (22-12) (13-9)
Ty Coffey, 31-25 (18.33) (19-15) (12-10)
Tom Johnson, 30-26 (12.86) (18-16) (12-10)
Angie Pilgrim, 30-26 (14.14) (18-16) (12-10)

MidCentral Division
Perhaps the luster is beginning to wear on Justin's power season, as he slips a little further in the Power Poll, and Tommy stays only one game back. Jason is starting to get a few games over .500, while Tebe and Jennifer seemingly need to shoot for 40 wins to have a successful season.
Justin Glenn, 35-21 (13.0) (17-17) (18-4)
Tommy McLeod 34-22 (11.0) (19-15) (15-7)
Jason Barnette, 29-27 (12.71) (16-18) (13-9)
Tebe Shaw, 25-31 (13.86) (14-20) (11-11)
Jennifer Ernst, 24-32 (12.33) (12-22) (12-10)

West Division
In a tight division, Duren opens up a 4 game lead over Big Eddy, who bounces from last to 2nd and everywhere in between from week to week. Drew has also rebounded nicely, looking as if he wants to finally defend his division title, while Sarah and Jason Demastus are trailing along.
Jason Duren, 34-22 (16.0) (21-13) (13-9)
Eddy McBroom, 30-26 (11.71) (17-17) (12-10)
Drew Morris, 30-26 (13.29) (20-14) (10-12)
Sarah Hasha, 29-27 (15.0) (19-15) (11-11)
Jason Demastus, 28-28 (22.0) (16-18) (12-10)

McBroom Conference
East Division
The Mighty Gainey continues to lead, looking for his fourth straight East Division title, while Tyler Campbell looks like the unlikely contender. I'm still trying to beat back Cheney, and get above .500 (though with Garrett's horrendous TBA, I only have to stay even with him), while James quietly strolls along.
Mark Gainey, 32-24 (11.17) (18-16) (14-8)
Tyler Campbell, 29-27 (9.14) (19-15) (10-12)
Yours Truly, 28-28 (11.29) (18-16) (10-12)
Garrett Cheney, 28-28 (21.57) (17-17) (11-11)
James Hawbaker, 13-19 (14.25) (9-13) (4-6)

South Central Division
In the absolute hardest and tightest division in the league, Jonathan still leads it by a game over Scott Latta. Tad has a decent week, though he's helped by the fact he's the only person in the SC Division to go 4-4 (everyone else went 3-5). This allows the Rooster to get above Lori and pull slightly ahead of Eddy McBroom. Its even feasible that all of the Wild Cards could come from this one division, something that has never happened--so to Jon, Scott, Lori, Tad & Eddy... every game counts for you guys.
Jon Osborne, 33-23 (9.29) (20-14) (13-9)
Scott Latta, 32-24 (12.43) (19-15) (13-9)
Tad Roose, 31-25 (12.43) (21-13) (10-12)
Eddy Mc Jr, 31-25 (18.86) (20-14) (11-11)
Lori Smith, 30-26 (10.0) (18-16) (12-10)

South Division
Tim is looking for his third division title in four seasons, though Daniel seems like his most likely competitor. Gina is still doing well, quietly putting in her bid for Rookie of the Year, though constantly overshadowed by Angie Mark Osborne. Ryan and Michael still look on the horizon for .500, somehow.
Tim Wasyluka, 34-22 (13.57) (23-11) (11-11)
Daniel Powell, 33-23 (12.0) (23-11) (10-12)
Gina Williams, 29-27 (10.86) (19-15) (10-12)
Ryan Sherman, 25-31 (23.0) (16-18) (9-13)
Michael Nipp, 22-34 (12.0) (16-18) (6-16)

The DFC Power Poll
DMOsborne stays at number one for the second week in a row, while Matt gives the DFC North a 1-2 punch. Justin slips another notch to 3, after a two week stay a #1 earlier in the year, while Tommy hasn't seen lower than 5 since Week 1 (when he was 6th).

Game Bucket O'Wings
This is going to sound silly, but this week, I give the proverbial Gameball... the Bucket O'Wings... to anyone who watched college football this past Saturday... if I could come up with a Top Five Best Saturdays of College Football In My Lifetime, this would surely be in the top three. Running my Saturday errands, I heard the crazy ending to the Bama/Miss game, where the Tide kicked a field goal on the last play to win the game. Then, Wisconsin had just beaten Minnesota by 4. Then, in the span of 30 minutes, I flipped back and forth to see LSU close out Florida, then NW hold off Purdue, then on the last play of the game, Michigan beat Penn State, then on the last play of the game, USC beat Notre Dame... and then later, Louisville loses to West Virginia in THREE OVERTIMES... while Stephanie ran around the house without a care in the world, my heart beat about 3,440 times per minutes, my finger contining to click "Last Channel" and "Favorites" over and over and over, freaking out at games that mattered in the DFC...
So, if you watched football on Saturday, you were definately in for a treat... if you missed it, you missed alot. And yes, I can finally say I believe that USC is the real deal, and I'm now rooting for them to win their third straight (unless they play Texas... then I'll be torn).

Lies, Darn Lies and Statistics
--Well, 300 wins is now old hat for many of the DFC'ers, as DMOsborne crossed that line this weekend (and also tied Michael for 3rd all time on the list), while Tommy is one away, and both Matt and Tom are four games away.
--Tim is 2 away from 200, while Sarah is 13 away, and Garrett is 9 from 100 all time.
--With the addition of James Hawbaker, that makes a total of 42 people who have at one time or another participated in the DFC, at least for part of a season. Obviously, 30 of those are now active, and with that, 8 of us are in our 6th year, 7 are in their 5th year, 6 in their 4th year, Jason Duren is in his 3rd year, Tyler and Garrett are in their 2nd seasons and we've got 6 rookies this year. The DFC abides.
--The fight to end the season in that 10th spot for All Time Wins is between Tad, Justin and Drew currently, with 258, 257 and 256 wins respectively. Scott is right behind that with 253 and Jonathan has 251.
--Jenn Ernst, despite her down year, continues almost 3 straight years atop the All Time Wins and All Time College list, as both Michael and Yours Truly (2nd and 3rd in both lists at the beginning of the year) are not having good years either. Possible to upend Jennifer is David Mark Osborne, who, as noted before, is now tied for 3rd all time. Jennifer has 313 lifetime wins, leaving Dave 10 behind. Yours Truly is currently in 2nd with 307.
--Looking at college, Jenn has 183 total, with Michael in 2nd at 180 and now Osborne with 179.
--Demastus now gets his 100th college win this weekend, as he now has 101. Ty Coffey is up next, as he has 88.
--As for the NFL, the race is a little different. Tom continues his reign at the top, now at 135 wins, over Jenn's 132 and Yours Truly at 131.
--Justin now has a solid lead for 10th with 109, compared to 11th place Tad at 101. Eddy is in 9th, with 111. What makes Eddy McBroom so special is that the top 8 has been, and always been nothing but the original DFC'ers, and Eddy is 9th in all catagories. However, either Justin or Eddy could be the first to bust into the Top 8, even the Top 7, in this catagory.
--Speaking of Rookies, for All Time Wins, Scott Burk holds the 30th spot with 44 wins... Angie, with 30, and Gina with 29 look to possibly break that. Josh Crosby is in 30th in college, with 27, as again both Gina (19) and Angie (18) look to break into the top 30.
--As for pro, Ross Kingrey is 30th with 15 total wins... Jason Barnette looks to be the first rookie to break into the NFL Top 30 with his 13 wins... he could even do it this weekend.
--The greatest college season ever is 45-13, in DFC IV by Mark Gainey. Currently Daniel & Tim both have 23-11 records... meaning to top that record, with four weeks about at least 32 college games left, both would have to finish 23-9 to best his wins, and 30-2 to best his percentage. Not going to happen.
--Pro games are harder to get, however, with various amounts of pro games per year, and always less than college. In fact, only Tom Johnson has ever won 30 NFL games, and that was in DFC I. Yours Truly holds the best record in pro since that year, with 28-10 in DFC IV (2003), though with Justin's 18-4, and at least 12 NFL games left, he has an outside shot at besting the wins. Currently, though, his 82% winning percentage is one of the best in any catagory in DFC history.
--With Drew Morris winning the week for the first time in 33 weeks, his long drought finally ends. The longest drought currently between weekly wins currently belongs to Tommy McLeod, who now has gone 50 weeks without a win. His first win came in DFC I, Week 6, and the 2nd (and last) came in DFC II, Week 5. He actually shared a weekly win with Jason Quinn that same season in Week 7, so you can say he's gone only 48 weeks without a win.
