    Strange, I thought that was them in your avatar photo.

    This IS the July 2020 Basho thread!! Spoilers!!

    ex-Ozeki: three (Teru, Giku, Toch) out of four (Takayasu). Takayasu looked small and confused; sad.

    Check the title of the basho on the db.

    Enho - predictions?

    Shoot, the media says everybody's so rested and positive about gambarizing and stuff, I think every Makuuchi rikishi will be 9-6: a 42-way playoff! (Sorry, better move this to Ridiculous Predictions)

    Not.Ridiculous.Enough.
  7. @Jakusotsu, I ran out of reactions for today, but that's a definite like for me.
  8. I think the Woody Allen movie "Sleepers" will be considered a documentary in 100 years.

    Have a go at a Haiku!

    Will July Sumo Be slow or fast? I'm afraid It will be half-fast.

    Thanks for the correction. I bet he and his wife are still kawaii.

    Asashoryu activities

    I've always laughed about Takanohana being placed in Japan-Japanese discussion, as if he had more hinkaku than those other Yokozuna.

    Yeah, let's get these topics in some sort of logical order! What are we not paying you mods for?!?

    What will the folks at tachiai blog have to talk about during a basho?

    Tochiozan Retirement

    Yeah, I guess by default. Sadly, Tochiozan was young, thin Elvis while Chiyotairu loks like old, fat Elvis (all due respect!)

    July basho?

    As usual, the immense brains at NBA, NFL and Premier League are way ahead here: https://www.tmz.com/2020/05/14/joe-buck-nfl-crowd-noise-fan-less-games-fox-broadcast-coronavirus/ https://larrybrownsports.com/basketball/nba-nhl-nfl-fake-crowd-noise-tv-broadcast/553833

    Tochiozan Retirement

    I loved this guy: cool demeanor but vicious energy, resourceful defense. Now searching for the new top rikishi Elvis impersonator.

    Nakagawa-beya closed down - next scandal

    I.m wondering, too. This is like Little League baseball, where they re-bid for players when a team folds. It's hard (but not impossible) to believe they let the rikishi decide; that would be a precedent they'd regret.

    July basho?

    They should hold a peaceful protest in the Kokugikan, which according to scientists will bring down the numbers https://www.blackenterprise.com/blm-protests-did-not-cause-spike-in-coronavirus-cases/

    Toyonoshima intai

    I hadn't really thought about it, but these guys enter the heya at fifteen and wear a yukata out in the world and old baggy shorts 'n' shirts in the heya. Then they have to wear a western suit when they're ~33; what a culture shock.

    Sumo and American Football

    Your humility is noted, but you belong there, too! As do others.

    Corona and sumo

    Well, since Sadogatake (sp) is about 28 km away, that's a 1 hr + trip one way. Expect a lot of rikishi named Koto- with make-koshi.

    Little Miss Sumo on Netflix

    He's right! I'm watching it now.
