it's kinda crazy how sumo is the one sport where you can have a retired from active competition athlete now working as head coach who could still kick the rear end of any his professional athletes at that sport

Thauros posted:it's kinda crazy how sumo is the one sport where you can have a retired from active competition athlete now working as head coach who could still kick the rear end of any his professional athletes at that sport I don't think Hakuho is a representative case here because he started taking over Miyagino before retiring, taking an active hand in recruitment and training even while competing. This means he begins stablemaster life considerably ahead of the curve. Normal retiring wrestlers spend way more time nursing up a squad of younger guys while at the same time they get farther and farther from competition shape, so by the time they get a sekitori in their charge it isn't likely they would be able to beat them. For example, compare Hakuho with Kotooshu, who retired from in-ring competition in 2014 and has only recently got a single guy up into juryo. Kotooshu can probably still beat his low rankers, but after almost a decade out of deliberately training up a sumo body he probably would struggle with Oshoma.

I've learned from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f5mkiU6P-o that apparently it's still up in the air if Teru will be there at this basho. IMO, if he's not there, Takakeisho has a very good chance of promoting. It's very strange to hear this video discuss whether keisho is in 'Yokozuna Form' when it seems that the YDC is basically begging him to give them something they can promote on.

Samuel L. Hacksaw posted:Less than a week until sumo It sure is! And that means it's time for fantasy! code:
Despite all the gloom around the copyright striking of our favorite Youtube sumoers, this is an exciting basho! We're finally seeing Hokuseiho, Kinbozan, and Bushozan in Makuuchi for the first time, which is quite the freshman class! The san'yaku situation has some intrigue as well – Takakeisho can get the belt with a yusho, while Kiribayama and Hoshoryu are arguably on ozeki runs if they put up spectacular numbers (ideally 14-1 yusho, realistically). The joi is very frothy, with 4 yusho winners, including 2 ex-ozeki, in the top of the maegashira, as well as the young phenoms Kotoshoho and Midorifuji. I suspect this will be a heavily contested draft. Okay, enough chatterboxing. I suspect that Teru will be kyujo, but I'm not certain and I don't know anyone else who will be, so please chime in if you have more up-to-date information and I'll add it to the post. Please enter your draft in the following format: Y/O: rikishi1 rikishi2 rikishi3 S/K: rikishi1 rikishi2 rikishi3 M1-5: rikishi1 rikishi2 rikishi3 M6-10: rikishi1 rikishi2 rikishi3 M11+: rikishi1 rikishi2 rikishi3 If you've never played Fantasy before, check out the rules. In brief: just choose 3 guys at each rank, and you'll be drafted a team of dudes. That's all you really need to do, although you can trade during the first week if you want (most people don't). It's really fun and helps you get more familiar with lower-ranked guys. I hope people brave the new world of sumo-watching and continue our fantasy tradition. It's one of the delights of being a sumo fan! Hakkeyoi!

He was so consistent for so long he's gotta bounce back... M6-10: only question is if Takayasu is fully healed, but if he isn't, he's at least going to get a Yusho run in May from the teens M11+: Hokuseiho is going to be the popular pick but it's fun to watch the newbie. I need a new Ozeki to get in just because it's hard to make gimmick teams when the Y/O spot is locked and I've run out of Takakeisho based ideas.

Congrats Kenning! I hope the planning goes well. Try to relax and enjoy the day - it can be easy to get too caught up in making sure everything is perfect. I'll be at a convention for the first weekend and struggling to make time to watch, but I have confidence enough to build a team that can auto-pilot me to something resembling kachi-koshi. At least it'll be hard to do worse than I did last basho. Y/O: Terunofuji on the off chance he isn't kyujo Takakeisho S/K: Hoshoryu Wakamotoharu Kotonowaka M1-5: Kotoshoho Onosho Midorifuji M6-10: Papayasu Hokutofuji AOIYAMA M11+: Oho Hokuseiho Kinbozan It's interesting to see my two least favorite rikshi sharing M2 and two of my faves sharing M7. I sincerely hope those positions reverse after this basho, but I suppose the shitheads will continue to climb.
