Drat – Power and SLOT switched to garner me a measly 14 points. I’m still pondering that one. I understand I was one of the very few not to select SFU, and I was banking on that for a “differential advantage” in my pix. I bet against SFU based on hearing them on this Island as well as Glasgow the past 3 seasons + checking out how the competition continued to spur ahead this year. A testimony to the rarefied atmosphere of today’s top outfits (that PM Parkes complimented in his interviews) and the opponents’ fast pace of improvement since FM really bumped up the bar in 2011. Bob W noted Shotts’ improvement in the PD clip with Andrew also, indicating their fine drone sound/tone over the weekend and I bet they might do well in drumming. SFU will have many fine innings in the years ahead, of course. My congrats to canny Craig and a truly fun contest for us punter wannabe pundits.
