DFC XXIV Week Four RESULTS

 Because of time, I'm going to list the results for everyone's week, without the standings and top 12 rankings, which will come back next week.

Also - I'll try to send a reminder, but if you didn't send in your picks, go right ahead and do so =) 

WHO WON THE WEEK??

Congrats to Coach DiBillo, one of the first rookies to win in a while, and also blowing through with a 10-0 record -- if you count the end of last week, he's on a 13 game win streak.  I actually don't have records on consecutive games, but I do know Wookiee Fulaytar holds the record at 19 straight games (en route to a championship in DFC V)

Coming in 2nd place, Lt Dan "Magic Legs" Sellers at 9-1, while 3rd goes to Tommy "The Highlander" McLeod at 8-2.  Mitchell "Pinky the Younger" Pinky is 8-2 and gets 4th, Drew "Grassman" Warren is 8-2 in 5th, and Mark "The Mighty" Gainey is 6th at 8-2. 

And 7th is Drew // Morris and tied for 8th is Jacob "From Wyoming" Roth and Bradley "Pinky the Wiser" Pinky, all at 8-2, with Jonny "Oz" Osborne at 7-3 coming in 10th.

Also finishing: 
7-3 - Aussie Nate... Young Garrett... Yours Truly... Matty "Pinky the Eldest" Pinky... James "The Prediction Maker" Hawbaker... The Big Wasyluka... Steven "The Principal" Ray... Jacob "Pinky the Pinky" Pinky... 

6-4: Zack "The Attack" Graves... Big Eddy McB... Trey "The Answer" Cartledge... Tyler "SPSBotDFC" Campbell... Garrison "Pride of Valdosta" Ryfun... David "What tha" Tuck... Hurricane Rhett... Tad "The Dynasty" Roose... Jenny Ernst... Matt "Coca-Cola Cowboy" Mink... Big Tom Johnson... 

5-5: Danny "The Engineer" Powell... DMO... Chris "YO TEACH" Croyle... 

4-6: Mikey Nipp... Eddy Jr... 

2-8: Melissa "The Chef" Reagan

DFC XXIV Week Five GAMES

 And we have reached the midpoint of the season... five college, five pro this week!

NOTE: I am sitting in Canada as I type this, and will be randomly at sea this week into next week... meaning, I don't know what the WiFi situation looks like -- so there is a chance that I may not be able to get last weekends results out this week, and will only be able to do the new games for next week... will do what I can, but the show must roll on!

THE WEEK THAT WAS 
Dunno how the end of the season will go for Matthew "Pinky the Elder" Pinky (there are four Pinkertons in our league, and Matthew just happens to be the oldest), but he is storming out of the gate early in what has been a rough two weeks for a lot of the league. Either way, Matty picks up his 5th career weekly win, getting 8-2 this week.

Coming in 2nd, Trey "The Answer" Cartledge also is 8-2, and in 3rd for the week, Zack "The Attack" Graves, at 7-3.

Jonathan "Oz" Osborne gets the only 7-3 record this week, taking 4th, and Coach DiBello gets 5th at 6-4.

The rest of the Top 10 all go 6-4, with Bradley "Pinky the Wiser" Pinky and Tad "The Dynasty" Roose tied for 6th, Matt "Coca-Cola Cowboy" Mink and Danny Powell tie for 8th, and finally, Lt Dan "Magic Legs" Sellers rounds out the 10. 

Also Finishing:

LIES, DARN LIES, & STATISTICS
"There are three types of lies: lies, damn lies, and statistics" - Mark Twain, probably 

• And here comes the part of the show where I throw a bunch of historical numbers at you -- all of them are true, based on 24 years of DFC stats
• Let's start with the update on All Time Win records... Your top ten regular season wins.. I'm proud to say that Yours Truly (1347) takes the top spot, followed by Tommy "The Highlander" McLeod (1307) in 2nd place, and Drew // Morris (1298) in third.  Jennifer Ernst (1296) is in fourth (surpassed by Drew just this very week), while Big Eddy McB (1290) is close behind in 5th.  In sixth place, Jonathan Osborne (1271), while two time champ Mark "The Mighty" Gainey (1265) is close in 7th place.  In eighth is DMOsborne (1252), and crazily enough, there is a tie for ninth with Tad "The Dynasty" Roose and Lil Eddy McB Jr, both at 1229 wins all time. 
• Now, lets add in the playoff wins to give an actual "ALL TIME WINS EVER" Top ten... It is similar to the regular season wins, again with Yours Truly (1498) on top -- doesn't mean I'm great, just consistently slightly above average -- and Drew // Morris (1477) in 2nd, and Big Eddy McB (1465) in 3rd. Mark "The Mighty" Gainey (1437) is in 4th, while Tommy "The Highlander" McLeod has just crossed the 1400 mark and is at 1406.  In 6th, Jenni Ernst (1392) and in 7th, Tad "The Dynasty" Roose (1348), and 8th, Jonny Oz (1345). Rounding out the Top Ten, DMOsborne (1307) and Lil Eddy Jr (1279)
• Milestones! Going back to All Time Regular Season Wins, James "The Prediction Maker" Hawbaker sits at 994 wins, so with mathing, a good week this week puts him at 1000 lifetime
• Tyler "The Self Proclaimed Sexy Beast of the DFC" Campbell -- which by the way, was an actual proclamation made by said Tyler -- is up next with 950 wins, though it might next season, and it will certainly be next year for Sorta Young Garrett Cheney, with 944 wins, and Trey "The Answer" Cartledge at 938
• Hurricane Rhett Barnett is getting close to 800, with 781 wins all time, and Bradley "Pinky the Wiser" Pinky is close to 700, with 694 wins lifetime, while Mitchell "Pinky the Younger" Pinky is at 478, a few weeks from 500
• Congrats to David Tuck for getting over the 200 wins mark! 
• And now we get to one of my fave records -- I call it the "DiMaggio Streak" -- which is consecutive weeks of .500 or better. The record is held by the aforementioned Tad Roose, who early in his career reeled off 45 streak weeks. Your current streaks are held by Drew Morris (19 weeks)... Steven Ray (16 weeks)... Mark Gainey (15 weeks)... 
• And then there is the +.500 streak... meaning consecutive weeks above .500, which is much harder.  That record is held by DFC Hall of Famer Matt "The Great Bear of the North" Latta, who pulled off 15 straight weeks.  It's an incredibly hard record to break - James Hawbaker has the biggest streak as of now, only at 8 weeks.
