"curls herm on his murbahl fern!" I need to give this a go as a non-native that speaks the language. "Calls home on his mobile phone"????

I have no prior history knowlege on the matter (or on any sumo weirdness-es) but i guess they were getting pressured from the sekiwakes being too many. Noone asked me but i would like a promotion for "my guy" (daiesho) but he got stuck in komosubi east. I speak as a fan most of the times .....

I guess because you cannot demote a K1e with a kk. Edit Nishikifuji stayed in top div with a 6-9 mk from M17e ...

As a Takekaze fan (he also looks like my mo) i am following his heya. I am sending Yokozuna wishes all over the place

You know ... life .... out of the kitchens and into jewelry making with my partner. Been around sumo for the most part as a quiet spectator. happy to be back. I am a bit older and sometimes grumpier. Humor is still alive and kicking.

I guess no more. So 10-11

Nice one. You won yourselves a customer when i need your services in the future.

"Shiko" is the answer after all ... not "42" He did a great job in the final. Composed.

He really wants to stay in sumo in his future. I like his persistence if he is doing it. Ozeki future will be hard to realise though. I hope he makes it. I like him. If he opens up a stable in the future i would follow his athletes' development.

This is another gem of a thread that i missed for mysterious reasons. Naganoyama .... you are a legend

Betting only for the yusho winner is kind of interesting but i BET (intentional pun) i will never see daily torikumi odds. And with my sumo gaming successes (nonexistent) i am happy i will never do

I love "modern times", "nowadays", or however you call today. We can watch the future of sumo online so easily Years ago we would ask Martina if she could take pics of our lower div "adoptees" too see how they look-evolve. Lovely stuff

I remember be thinking what a yokozuna Mita will make when his run brings him there. A sekiwake with 3 yushos ... one third of the yushos yokozunas are ending their careers with ... But then he became Ozeki. You have seen the rest. I can imagine him being a good coach though. He looks like he knows his shit in the dohyo even though he is not doing it anymore.

Lets hope Nakamura will get something going since this is done with.

"Recollections may vary" i would say (steal) to Teru.

You are legends. This thread is a dream come true and i just wanted to mention it. I have nothing to contribute here, but allow me to give my compliments to Asojima and Seiyashi. LEGENDS i say !!!!

He is one that could but wont. Pitty. I like the fact that he fights like a rikishi from old times but that will be it from him.

He is a die-yokozuna because you have to throw dem dice to see that you get from him. He is rarely a six.

Weird that i am posting after all that time in an obituary thread but we are a weird community. Sad news indeed.

Kotoshougiku was well over the line before Toyohibiki moved, but Toyohibiki skillfully recovered. At least that's what I can see from here. i think oshi-sumo rikishi (with thighs like an ox*) would take Toyohibiki's tachi-ai over Kotoshogiku's every day of the week. the fact that Shogi was well over the line, before Hibs moved, just gave the "chance" to the STRONG legs of the latter to find the best angle in order to push upwards and backwards an opponent with less mass and an ox like stature and style of pushing. Hibs found the way to beat Shogun for all eternity .... don't tell him ... or .... please tell him. I kind of like him (In jonokuchi...) *of course Toyohibiki and Kotoshogiku are respectively the president and vice-president of this "club"

1. A 2. A 3. B 4. B 5. B 6. A 7. A 8. A 9. B 10. B 11. B 12. B 13. A 14. B 15. B 16. B 17. B 18. B 19. A 20. A 21. A

Today Kotoyuki was so certain for his loss against Tochinoshin, after the latter got a grip of the mawashi, that he had to give it a second effort to talk out of the dohyo. (Sigh...) That was horrible ..... Truly horrible. (Hit the wall...)

the proclamation definitely worked for Ikioi .... (Laughing...) http://vimeo.com/95376171

the tomoe-sen in Makuuchi look like this Asashoryu had half of his tomoe-sen bouts in non-sekitori ranks. Musashimaru (unfortunately) was not very productive in such bouts ... Especially against Taka .... (probably a reason i never liked him (In jonokuchi...)) and this is how Juryo looks like in the tomoe-sen department. and this a list for more yusho through the play-off system. Asashoryu and Chiyonofuji were true grinders on the dohyo, but Hakuho may go past them with another yusho through a kettei-sen.

Tosayutaka and Tanzo are fighting for the top spot on this list for the time being. I am obviously counting out Goeido for a lower division yusho anytime soon. Same goes for Tokitenku, Shohozan, Aoiyama and Jokoryu for the time being Ikeru ... aka the "Jonokuchi killer" ... has a body made out of glass but how many yushos can a man "steal" from kids in the long run (Wearing a paperbag...) Keitenkai also has a legitimate chance for the top.
