The Week That Was
I mentioned it last week, about Jason Duren's drought, having not winning a week in his career... well, he did it this week. He takes home his first win at 5-3, a tough win. This is what you call "winning ugly"
Rookie Clif Render, my frat brother from Troy U (who also won this weekend, thanks), takes 2nd place, while Zack Graves comes rolling into 3rd, also at 5-3. Tom Johnson gets 4th, and Justin Fisher gets 5th, both at 5-3, while at 4-4 is Drew Morris in 6th, Matt Halpert in 7th, James Hawbaker in 8th, Tyler Campbell in 9th, and rounding out the Top Ten is Tebe Shaw.
The Rest:
4-4: Ty Coffey, Gary "The Idol" Eubanks, Sarah Hasha, Yours Truly, Tim Wasyluka
3-5: DMOsborne, Mackey, Barney, Jenn Ernst, Demastus, Trey Cartledge, Tad "The Dynasty" Roose, Jonathan Osborne, Lori Beirne, Eddy Jr, Ryan Sherman, Gina "Wife of the Dynasty" Roose, Mikey Nipp and Joey Thornell
2-6: Matt Latta, Jason Turnbow, Big Eddy, The Unmighty Gainey, Scott Latta, Daniel Powell, Garrett Cheney

Lies, Darn Lies & Statistics
- Tad Roose holds the record of consecutive weeks at 4-4 or better, which L,DL&S has often talked about, mostly because its so impressive. How impressive? Consider that the longest active streak was at 18, held by Tad's better half, Gina. She was working on 19 weeks when this past weekend happened. Her 3-5 weekly record snapped that streak at 18, giving the newest longest active streak to Gary "The Idol" Eubanks, who has 17.
- Incidentally, Mark Gainey is 2nd on this list (DFC III to V), with 35 weeks, Justin Glenn is 3rd with 21 (DFC IV to VI), while Tommy McLeod is still 4th all time with 19 weeks (DFC I to II). Gina had moved her way up to 5th tied with DMOsborne with 18 straight (and as we mentioned, Gina's streak has been stopped). Gary can tie Gina & DMO this week, tie Tommy the following week, and own 4th all time the following, with 3rd all time on his radar.
- For Gary to break Tad's record, he'll have to stay 4-4 or better from this coming week until Week Ten... of DFC X. That's season 10 for you in Knoxville. In 2009. That's provide he doesn't pull a Barry Sanders and retire at the top of his game.
- One more Eubanks thought... he does own one record, that being number of weeks in the DFC before his first losing record. DFC Powers like Drew Morris had his first in Week 5 of his rookie year, Tad Roose went 3-5 in Week 6 of his rookie season, Eddy Mc went 2-6 in Week 7, even Mark Gainey went 2-6 early in his rookie season. Gary? He's never been below 4-4 his entire rookie year, and the first five weeks of this season, making 17 weeks. This is something I've never actually looked at before, and it looks like 2nd place all time on this list belongs to none other than Jason Turnbow, who went ten weeks during his rookie season last year before going 2-6 in Week 11. Of course, that's no solace to Turnbow's horrible start so far this year.
- What about 5-3 or better? An even more impressive record... The Mighty Mark Gainey still holds that record at 14 weeks. As much as I liken the 4-4 or better record to DiMaggio's streak (its just so impossible), I see 5-3 or better like Ripken's streak. Delivering week in and week out. In 2nd place all time? Big Eddy Mac with 12 weeks (DFC III, Wk 5 to DFC IV, Wk 3) and in 3rd, Yours Truly (DFC VI Wk 7 to DFC VII Wk 4). The current longest streak? Zack Graves. Three weeks.
- Jason Duren did in fact win the week this time, at 5-3. Just an example of how tough this season has been thusfar. Only two others have done it, that being Yours Truly (DFC VII, Week 7) and Big Wookiee, way back when (DFC I, Wk 9).
- The 400 regular season win club just added one more member, as Jennifer Ernst (429), Yours Truly (414), Matt Latta (407) and Tommy McLeod (403) welcomes David Mark Osborne, who, when Seattle beat San Francisco, collected his 400th win. Next up? Tom Johnson at 396, Michael Nipp at 393, and Daniel Powell at 389.
- Big Tim Wasyluka gets his 300th win this weekend, while Garrett is beating Tyler to 200 currently at 179 vs. 175.
- Last year's rookies gain on 100, as Gary "The Idol" Eubanks leads the race with 86 total, and Zack Graves is at 83.
- Joey Thornell, joining late, is no longer in last place on the all time win list. With 13 wins now, he passes Willis Watkins with 12, though Joey has one more loss than Willis, so in baseball stats, they are technically tied overall.
- What about 500? It almost seems like an unthinkable amount of wins... though Jennifer Ernst is 23 away, while Yours Truly is 39 away. More on this one as the number draws nearer.
- In college wins, Eddy Jr is 5 away from 200, Lori is 6 away, and in pro wins, Jason Duren is 4 from 100, and Ty Coffey is 7 from 100.
- Though you'll be getting the mid-season report, and the annual mid-season grades following next week's results, here's who's leading the other catagories not named "Champion", "MVP" or "Rookie of the Year"....
- Jon Osborne, Zack Graves and Tad Roose (who is the defending College Title Champion) all lead the college title race at 17-7, while Michael Nipp, Jason Duren and Clif Render lead the pro race at 11-5. The Pro Title Champion is Matt Latta, who is 9-7, tied with 8 others. The TieBreak Average title leader is Drew Morris, who holds an impressive 5.25, ahead of even Joey Thornell (5.8) who came in late. Big Eddy, who won the TB Title last season at 9.09, is 5th, behind Drew, Lori, Halpert and Joey.
- The DFC Power Poll came into play in DFC IV, and since then, there have only been 18 people to be perched at the #1 spot in 53 possible weeks (counting this past week). Out of those 18, only 9 of those have been at #1 for at least two weeks in a row. Strangely enough, Gary "The Idol" Eubanks is the only DFC'er in the history of the DFC Power Poll to be at #1 for two non consecutive weeks in the same season (Wks 3 and 6 last year).
- The unofficial record for number of consecutive weeks is currently held by two people, Tad Roose and David Mark Osborne, both staying atop the standings for 6 straight weeks. In second is Mark Gainey, and now Jon Osborne, both with 5. Jonathan Osborne is one week away from a piece of the #1 spot in the record, and two weeks away from being at #1 the longest. Mark Gainey actually holds the record of number of total weeks spent at #1, with 7, while Jonathan is 2nd with 6. So these next two weeks are pretty important, record wise, for Osborne. And he's still never made the playoffs.
Next week's results: The mid-season report card, who's up, who's down, who get an A, who gets an F and everything in between. Only on the blogsite.
Week Seven results: We bring back the "If the Playoffs Began Today" feature each week
Week Nine and beyond: Full standings, including TBA, College Record, Pro Record and more. Cause I have a free hour, and you are more impressed with the number of stats than you are what the stats actually are.
