Shio-kago san.... you rock. I couldn't have said it better myself.

Good day all, Itchyknee, with a clever graphic presentation, is correct on the TORCH recap of the Hatsu Basho. Mutsu'ohideki's pick Hattorizakura; and Roga, a popular rikishi pick by many players, missed the TORCH. Roga pickers will certainly get another crack at it in Haru. Start-of-Hatsu Rikishi: DAIGONISHIKI Start-of-Hatsu Rank: JONOKUCHI 27 WEST DAY 3: Jonokuchi 27 West Daigonishiki (0-0) passes the TORCH to Jonokuchi 25 West Hamasu (0-1) DAY 5: Jonokuchi 25 West Hamasu (1-1) passes the TORCH to Jonokuchi 24 West Daitenma (1-1) DAY 8: Jonokuchi 24 West Daitenma (2-1) passes the TORCH to Jonokuchi 25 East Narumi (2-1) DAY 10: Jonokuchi 25 East Narumi (3-1) passes the TORCH to Jonokuchi 16 West Matsuyama (3-1) DAY 12: Jonokuchi 16 West Matsuyama (4-1) defeats Jonokuchi 13 West Wakafujioka (3-2) DAY 13: Jonokuchi 16 West Matsuyama (5-1) defeats Jonokuchi 8 West Masutenryu (5-1) End-of-Hatsu Rikishi: MATSUYAMA End-of-Hatsu: Rank: JONOKUCHI 16 WEST

I'm not sure what to say from my makushita rank, but humbled by the finding of our great Randomitsuki.... on the other hand, a very battered bench sumo team and still well below the AXIS OF MEDIOCRITY ...
