THE WEEK THAT WAS

As Ole Miss dominated the first half of their game, it was looking like Young Garrett Cheney would take the week home, his first since (and 2nd lifetime) weekly win since Week 5 of DFC V... that's 12 years ago.  But, as we all watched in amusement and impressiveness, FSU blew past the Rebels, and with it, James Hawbaker nailed an 8-2 record, his 3rd win of his career (first since Week 11 of DFC VIII) and a pretty good start to a tumultuous season opening. 

Lori "Sunshine" Beirne also starts strong at 7-3, with a surprising Sarah Hasha in 3rd (could this be Sarah's year??) and a tie for 4th, between Yours Truly and Remodeling Clay Shaver, Lt Dan Sellers in 6th, Trey "The Answer" Cartledge in 7th, Matt "the Mad Scientist" Halpert takes 8th, with Brad "Lawdawg" Latta in 9th, and Grandy Latta coming in 10th, all at 7-3. 

Among the many 6-4 records, both Michael Ferris and Steven Ray locked in for a tie at 11th.

6-4: Atlanta Bill Seybolt... Young Garrett... Jonny Osborne... Matt "The Mad Scientist" Halpert... Mark "The Mighty" Gainey... Bradley Pinky... Drew "Slash" Morris

LIES, DARN LIES & STATISTICS

"There are three types of lies in this world... lies... damn lies... and statistics" - Mark Twain

• Tad Roose, a three time champion, also holds a record that may never be broken, as he went from Week 5 of DFC IV to Week 2 of DFC VIII -- 45 straight weeks without going below .500.  This record went unmatched for years as only Matt Halpert and Gary "The Idol" Eubanks came sorta close, both getting to 24 weeks before faltering.
• Two DFC'ers were on their way, however... Yours Truly and Rhett Barnett.  Yours Truly was at 27 weeks coming into this season, while Rhett was at 26.  And in Week One, Rhett's streak ends at 26 by going 4-6 this week. 
• The all time wins category is a hard category to crack, because we are talking 17 years. For at least a decade, Jennifer Ernst sat atop the all time win list, but Yours Truly managed to catch her and take the top spot. However, while it was a Me vs Jennifer battle for a few seasons, suddenly Drew Morris and Big Eddy have thrown their hat in the ring.  And after Week One, Drew Morris has moved into 2nd on the All Time Win List
• Currently, the top five are:  Yours Truly 1025-641... Drew Morris (1023-618)... Jennifer Ernst (1022-664)... Big Eddy McBroom (1013-623)... Mark Gainey (976-557).  Its the first time in 14 years that Jennifer was not among the Top 2 all time. 
• Also important to remember, while Yours Truly & Jenni Ernst were in DFC I, Drew Morris & Big Eddy didnt join the league until DFC II, and Mark Gainey was in DFC III, and through playoff success, were able to gain enough victories to rank so high.
• If you only look at regular season, the Top Five All Time is a little different... Yours Truly (943-595)... Jennifer Ernst (932-606)... Tommy McLeod (910-628)... Drew Morris (894-556) and Mark Gainey (865-489)
• Also catching up... Jacob Pinkerton is entering his 4th season in the league, while Remodeling Clay Shaver is currently in his third.  But despite having a full season's head start on Shaver, Pinky and Shaver are now tied in all time wins at 143.  Clay has 69 losses, Pinky has 155, and is currently the only DFC'er sitting at below .500 all time.  Womp Womp.
