The Week That Was
Though I'm fearful of saying it, it looks like we might have another MVP candidate on our hands... Tebe Shaw has won another week, the third of the year, this time by going 8-0.
After several weeks of 4-4, Mark Gainey makes his regular late season run, this time to finish 7-1 for 2nd, while defending DeRamus Plate World Champion Matt Latta finishes 3rd with 6-2. Both Lori Smith and Tom Johnson have huge weeks, tied for 4th, as they come back from several down weeks, while in 6th is Tim Wasyluka, all at 6-2. In 7th, at 6-2, is James Hawbaker, while in 8th, Tommy McLeod and 9th, Drew Morris, both at 6-2. Our only 5-3 Top Ten appearance is from Jason Turnbow at number 10 for the week.

Lies, Darn Lies & Statistics
- Somewhere around mid-October 2003, it was Week 6 of DFC IV. That was the last time that Tad Roose had a 3-5 week. A record setting 41 weeks later, the two time DFC champion has seen his streak end, having another 3-5 weekend.
- The new current streak? Daniel Powell at 13 weeks.
- You may have noticed both Lori Smith and Jon Osborne have not only identical records (47-33), but identical TBAs (17.0). Though no one has ever been tied leading into the postseason, the rule is that the worst TB performance from the season is dropped, and a new average is calculated (TBs that have been dropped do not count--once it's dropped, it's gone). When you drop Jon's worst, 55 points off in Week 3, he ends up with a 12.25. Lori's worst, a 35 point debacle in Week 6, is dropped and recalculated to 15.0. Jon gets the edge.
- Tebe Shaw's undefeated week is the 17th such week in the DFC regular season--but he is only the 3rd person to win 3 weeks in the same season--Wookiee Fulaytar did it in DFC I, and Jennifer Ersnt did it in DFC IV.
- Sixteen games remain in DFC VII, and some people are having career years thusfar... Tebe Shaw has already equaled last year's win total, Gina and Barnie are three from doing so, while Ryan Sherman is 4 away from besting his rookie season.
- Tyler Campbell on 55 last year, he's 9 away from beating that, and perhaps the biggest victory comes from Daniel Powell, a 7 year veteran, who has 53 wins right now... and his career best is 57 in DFC IV.
- Matt Latta is also 10 away from his first 60 win season, and Michael Nipp has beaten his
- On the flip side, not everyone is doing as well... Scott Latta's worst season ever was a 53-43. And he's got 43 wins right now. Ten more wins seems to be a much bigger challenge for Scott right now than for Matt.
- Also hitting rock bottom right now, Big Eddy McBroom, who will have to go 14-2 in the last 16 games to reach 55 wins--his worst season (last year), at least until this year.
- If Jon Osborne finally makes the postseason (its well known he's been in the league the longest without a postseason appearance), that would leave Jason Demastus and Sarah Hasha as the longest with no playoffs. This is both of their fifth seasons in the DFC.
- Ty Coffey gets to 200 wins, while Gina Williams makes it to 100 first, though Tebe gets there the same weekend. Barnie is 3 away.
- David Mark Osborne gets a huge milestone--with this 5-3 weekend he's had, he crosses 400 total wins in his career, only the 3rd person to do so, ever. Matt Latta has 393, and Big Eddy has 389.
- In the college arena, both Dre Morris and Tom Johnson become the 9th and 10th persons to get 200 college wins, while Tom takes back over the #1 spot in the Pro Games.
- I'm often asked how long will the DFC go on, and I just respond that as long as I have email and people want to do it, we'll keep going. I only mention this because I just figured out we'll have our 1,000 DFC Game somewhere during Week 6 of 2009's DFC X... which will be known as "DX" that year. Who doesn't want to win the DX title?
