CFCC/PFCC Week 3/2 Wrap-Up

by: Sugar (September 17, 2025)


CFCC Week 3 posed another rough-go for dirty-dawgers with an average score of 34.2, which is pretty awful and the low score was a -72, which is really awful. There were some great games though starting with the Clemson/Georgia Tech tilt that made 106 players happy, but Dabo not so much. Georgia got by Tennessee after The Vols missed a FG to win it in regulation and Aggie Trauma will have to wait at least another week after Texas A&M won a thriller in South Bend and beat Notre Dame, who also couuldn't manage an extra point late. And how about those Virginia Tech Hokies? 0-3 in dirty-dawg so far. Lost to Old Dominion, which only had 21 dawgers on their side, and lost their coach on Sunday. Not a good start for Virginia Tech fans this year. We will try to leave The Hokies off in the coming weeks, but we won't make any promises.

Scott Kahn from East Northport, NY had a great week and was the only player in triple digits with 102 points on a crazy 14 wins. Scott's only miss was a 9 on Pitt and the next best record was 11-4. Great job, Scott. Way to nail Old Dominion, Georgia Tech and A&M. Scott's weekly win catapulted him an incredible 237 places into 4th place overall. In First place overall remains Jeremy Buckles from, that's right, Strawberry Plains, Tennessee with 230 points. Jeremy has a commanding lead so early in the season with a 36 point gap between him and Derrick Snyder, from Paducah, Kentucky. Eric Forinash from Corpus Christi is in third place, 42 points off the leading pace. In early group standings, Always in a Drought has a small lead over Padookie Possum Trotters and The Border War Still Lives in KC.

Heading over to real-man football, the PFCC field oddly outperformed the CFCC field with an average Week 2 score of 68.9 points. Brad Reinhart from Pembroke Pines, FL led the way with a stellar 13-2 record and 110 points. Brad dropped 2 on the Steelers (obviously not a good football weekend for Pittsburgh fans, either college or pro!!) and lost his 3 pointer on The Vikings. Great week, Brad! Richard Melton from Grand Rivers, Kentucky was the runner-up for Week 2 with 104 points, also on 13 victories. Boomerbacks continue to lead Group Play, but are getting challenged by upstart No Mistakes near this Great Lake, followed closely by Nittany Squalls. Matthew Brady from New Braunfels, TX is the New leader after 2 weeks, with 203 points on a stellar 26-3 record.

Okay, it's time to gear up for some great football coming up this weekend. Texas Tech takes their $25 million NIL roster to Salt Lake City to tangle with Utah in a Big 12 and Big Noon affair. Undefeated Auburn heads to Norman and current Heisman favorite John Mateer. Michigan plays Nebraska, Illinois is at Indiana and don't forget Marshall at Middle Tennessee State. Huh?? Over in the PFCC, another good set of games is on tap,culminating with Detroit at Baltimore on Monday Night!

That's all for this week. Game forms are due at the usual time, otherwise known as 11 AM CDT Saturday for the CFCC and 12 Noon CDT Sunday for the PFCC. Don't snooze and lose and good luck with CFCC Week 4 and PFCC Week 3!

Sikora/Bigelbach Tie for Week 1 PFCC Honors

by: Sugar (September 10, 2025)


The marathon of all dirty-dawg contests is finally under way after the big boys finally kicked off their season on Thursday, September 4. Of course, we don't deal with those early NFL games and stick strictly (for the most part) to the Sunday/Monday games. The PFCC field had a very good week with the majority of the games going the way the Vegas boys expected them to go. The average player score for Week 1 was in impressive 75.1 and the scores ranged from a low of 5 points to a high of 115 points. Any PFCC week where there are no negative scores is a good PFCC week!

A total of 15 players scored over 100 points during Week 1 and those scores were led by two players that knocked down 115 points for the week. What?? John Sikora from Saint Albans, WV and Brandon Bigelbach from the NFL hotspot of Glasgow, Montana are the Week 1 co-champions. John dropped his 2 game on the NY Giants and Brandon lost his 2 game on my Detroit Lions, unfortunately. They ran the table, otherwise, and are due congratulations from dirty-dawgers everywhere!

We have bad news for the rest of the field as we head on over to the Group Standings after Week 1. Group titan Boomerbacks is already in the lead with a 6.25 point lead over ReLaXers and 7.25 point lead over Shedeur's Future is Oblique. Boomerbacks is always a power in PFCC group play so the rest of the groups better buckle-up and make some heroic picks as we head deeper into the season.

We have a special treat this week for Week 2 PFCC. There are actually 15 games to evaluate, including 2 on Monday night. And as an added bonus, the deadline is still at Noon CDT Sunday. But, don't sleep on those stupid early deadlines that will be on the docket later in the season. We will try to warn you when those games appear. Otherwise, get those picks in now before you screw the pooch. Automated reminders will start Friday morning for PFCC players that entered last week and don't have their picks in yet for this week. Good luck and enjoy!

Diegan Wins CFCC Week 2

by: Sugar (September 9, 2025)


As stated in this column last week, it appears the weeks of a bunch of 120 scores early in the CFCC are definitely over. Week 2 was brutal on the field with several upsets producing an average player score of an embarrassing 32 points. I mean, us directors are embarrassed and most of you should be too! Florida loses to South Florida. Kansas State loses to Army, which lost to Tarleton State the week before. Arizona State loses and Virginia Tech loses for the 2nd week in a row. We love Virginia Tech screwing dirty-dawgers so much, we have them on the Week 3 form against Old Dominion. They won't lose 3 weeks in a row, will they?

As always, though, many dirty-dawgers made some great calls for Week 2. None were better than Allan Diegan from Paducah, Kentucky who went 12-3 and scored 80 points to take home the Week 2 trophy (like there really is one). Allan missed 13 on Florida like the rest of us, but only dropped 6 on Boston College and, in his best call of the week, only had 1 on KSU, which was 11 confidence points lower than the all-member consensus on that game. Nice work, Mr. Diegan!

The best record for the week goes to Jeremy Buckles from Strawberry Plains, Tennessee (is that a real place??). Jeremy went a stellar 13-2, but took two double-digit dings with 12 on Florida and 13 on K-State. Ouch! Despite the 25 point hit, Jeremy was up one spot into the overall leader position with 168 points after 2 weeks of play. Ian McNeil was up 12 spots to #2, with Mike Borden, Gunner Driver (that can't be his real name?) and Eric Forinash rounding out the Top 5.

In Group Play, Padookie Possum Trotters have taken over the lead with a small cushion on last week's leaders, The Border War Still Lives in KC. West Coast Walk Off, perennial powerhouse and defending Group Champion Bucknutz and the Know Nothings occupy the rest of the Top 5.

We have some great match-ups on the form for Week 3, besides the much anticipated Va Tech/Old Dominion game. Wisconsin goes into The House that Saban Built, Georgia invades Knoxville, South Florida goes to the Convicts, Arkansas and Ole Miss tangle, while Texas A&M takes on the Catholics in South Bend. Sounds like another low confidence week! As always, the game form closes at 11 AM CDT on Saturday, so don't snooze and lose.

A quick programming note: we had to make some changes to our scoring routine for players within each group. Due to this change, some players that are members of groups are not showing up in the group standings. If this happens to you or any of your group members, just shoot us an email and we will get that fixed up for you. You can continue to create groups, drop players (again with an email to us) or add players through Week 7. Good luck with Week 3.
