    Heck yeah it is. But what a field! Milky Eagle - the perpetual Dark Horse, Powerful Owl - you know its fans are rabid (and possibly shitfaced), the intriguing, mysterious Speccy . . . And let’s not forget the top seed - Buffy Fish! Will they topple established Snowies and Barnies? Is this LEO’s year? Only time . . . and the superbowl fans . . . Will tell.

      Yup, it all depends on who shows up to do the voting and what mood they’re all in. Small and sweet? Big and powerful? An old favorite or a stunning newcomer? Only time will tell!
