Jejima 1,303 Posted January 1, 2008 I was planning to put the lower sanyaku (Sekiwake and Komusubi) in a separate 'vote' to the rest of Makunouchi, but the forum currently allows only 3 questions for one poll (maybe that could change?). This poll is to see if any of us think that there are Yusho chances for anyone other than the Yokozunas, and/or anyone other than the Yokozunas and Ozekis. Please be honest and make your 'total' vote add up to '6'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,303 Posted January 1, 2008 Hmmmm, already someone can't count... The person after me voted for 5+1+1 = 7 Makunouchi yushos for 2008. D'oh! (Neener, neener...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 18,673 Posted January 1, 2008 I was planning to put the lower sanyaku (Sekiwake and Komusubi) in a separate 'vote' to the rest of Makunouchi, but the forum currently allows only 3 questions for one poll (maybe that could change?). You could have made options for ozeki, lower sanyaku and maegashira, and just assume that the difference to six implicitly constitutes yokozuna yusho. (Neener, neener...) Anyway, I'm gonna go with five yokozuna yusho and one ozeki yusho... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 16 Posted January 1, 2008 (edited) Not original : 5+1+0 For yokozuna yusho, I think that Hakuho will win three and two for Asashoryu. Ozeki yusho for Kotooshu. Edited January 1, 2008 by Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jakusotsu 5,761 Posted January 1, 2008 Please be honest and make your 'total' vote add up to '6'. Do You imply I'm dishonest because my Sekitori Oracle picks never add up to 525? (Neener, neener...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sasanishiki 57 Posted January 1, 2008 Seems I am a bit different: 4+2+0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Washuyama 634 Posted January 2, 2008 5-0-1 Baruto, Ama or someone totally unexpected will take one.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
messi19 0 Posted January 2, 2008 (edited) I think it depends on whether Asashoryu will survive this year in ozumo. If he does I predict a clean yokozuna sweep (6-0-0 evenly distributed between the two of them), if he's forced to retire for whatever reason I cannot imagine Hakuho taking every yusho. However with the two of them on the dohyo, I can't really think of a rikishi capable of overcoming them both. Edited January 2, 2008 by messi19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jesinofuji 11 Posted January 2, 2008 I think it depends on whether Asashoryu will survive this year in ozumo. If he does I predict a clean yokozuna sweep (6-0-0 evenly distributed between the two of them), if he's forced to retire for whatever reason I cannot imagine Hakuho taking every yusho. However with the two of them on the dohyo, I can't really think of a rikishi capable of overcoming them both. I agree with the first part, if Asashoryu isn't scummed by the Kyokai, the yokozuna will take all 6 yusho. But it won't be evenly split. Asashoryu will take all 6.

Jejima 1,303 Posted January 13, 2008 Looks as if we expect the Yokozunas to dominate this year - with one yusho possibly going to an Ozeki (I wonder which one?) Poll closed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,303 Posted November 29, 2008 Looks as if we expect the Yokozunas to dominate this year - with one yusho possibly going to an Ozeki (I wonder which one?) Looks as if we were correct 5 wins from Yokozunas, and one from an Ozeki - and it was Kotooshu! Full Yusho results are:- Jan - Hakuho (Y1E 14-1) Mar - Asashoryu (Y1W 13-2) May - Kotooshu (O2W 14-1) Jul - Hakuho (Y1W 15-0) Sep - Hakuho (Y1E 14-1) Nov - Hakuho (Y1E 13-2) Repeat poll to follow soon!
