After watching untold hours and hours of the Japaneese broadcast...other then the sumo terms and "Hia" ...I understand absolutely none of it...don't even know what "ne" means....

All in all a fun basho with lots of drama. The loss to Goedo cost Takakeishou the nod most likely, but that's sumo. Hard not to like a guy 15yrs in sumo having to get beat up by the rest of the Mongolian mob to have his day. New baby and possible Ozeki run plus he likes to bake...what's not to like? I enjoyed Albema coverage for the parade of prizes and the tossing of the mini Gyoji, and digging up the grains and cuttlefish that's buried in the center of the doiyo.

Absolutely he should get the nod...33 wins 1 yusho, (minimum) 1 jun-yusho... Damm that's Yokozuna numbers ! Give him what he earned and let him worry about keeping it !!

So Pretty boy endo is the great Japaneese hope. Props to Tamawashi, he's been pretty consistent no lower then M2 in 6 basho... He could have been on the Katoban carousel for a a few years if was ever promoted to Ozeki. Haven't broken any arms in a while too. At least we have the basho down to the wire. Go Endo !!

From doom and gloom to several possible playoff scenarios.. Mitakiumi should sit out now. Nice win by the Geek a fun match. The Ozeki squad may both KK. Takakeishou should get the nod for Ozeki, one dimensional but kicking butt.

Yes !!! Ozeki in the bag...wow !

You can see a wet spot on both east and west....maybe the rikishi can request ?
