DEUCE BOWL X:
EDDY MCBROOM VS LORI BEIRNE

It was over Saturday for Trey Cartledge, as his 2nd Final Four appearace in three seasons ends just shy of the coveted spot in the DFC Title Week, DeuceBowl X.  That means that Big Eddy McBroom, 9 season vet of The Deuce Football Championships, is making his return to the DeuceBowl--his first appearance, in DFC V, was a thrilling battle against Wookiee Fulaytar--they both went 5-3, but Wookiee won virtue of the TieBreak.  His 41 points was closer to 38 than Big Eddy's 45 points--still the closest DeuceBowl in history.

On the other side, DFC Champ The Mighty Mark Gainey's bid for a 2nd straight championship ended with Baltimore's 23-20 loss to Pittsburgh.  That capped off a terrible Final Four week for Mark, putting him at 1-5 (with 2 games left) for the week--after a great 15-1 run in the first two weeks of the postseason.  Lori's average 3-3 record is now an insurmountable lead for her, placing her in her first championship, and making her the first chick to make the DeuceBowl since Jennifer Ernst's loss to Tad Roose in DeuceBowl IV in 2003.  Even with a 6-2 record, she lost to Tad's 8-0 week.

This sets up a classic DeuceBowl match between two long time DFC'ers.  There are 1081 victories between the two, with 17 years combined.
