Amazing day. Just amazing.

Completely aside, find myself wondering historically how many demoted kadoban Ozeki have come back with 10 wins in the following basho. Can�t be super common, but then again I wouldn�t be surprised if the percentage was high given Ozeki at least make a claim to be good rikishi.

I am legitimately surprised to not see Goeido on that list. I guess he WAS just that consistently decent.

loving fantastic day of sumo today. The thrills, chills, and spills this basho have been honestly top-notch. Also Tamawashi looks so loving fly all the time as he's clowning on the whippersnappers.

It's a bit of a bloodbath in the fantasy league � there are a lot of make-koshi being doled out.

I'm actually not sure about my own eligibility for the tag either since I MK'd in the prior tourney. Do we get a 2nd tournament to get out of 'yokogoona kadoban'? Does the fact that I'm a two-time yusho come into play?

I really want to Juryo's Machine-Gun Maru to do well but he's got to get some other tools in his arsenal other doing his impression of E Honda spamming the punch button.

Liquid Communism: Mar 9, 2004; коммунизм хранится в яичках

Final match of the basho is dogshit, so here's hoping Takayasu forces Tamawashi into a playoff.

Otherwise the yusho will be decided halfway through the day and we have Wakamotoharu vs Mitakeumi and Takakeisho vs Shodai to cap it off. Just a pile of sad excuses for Ozeki.

# ? Sep 24, 2022 23:37

Khizan: Jul 30, 2013

I�m hoping old man Tamawashi can take it, because I like to see he�s still kicking rear end at 37, but I will not be sad to see Takayasu finally take a yusho either.

Also, Wakatakakage is fighting like an ozeki, imo. I think he�s got a run in him if he can stop throwing the first 3-4 fights of every basho.

I'd say he's arguably on a run right now, and definitely on a run if he wins tomorrow. I agree he's fighting very well.

given the current crop i'm not sure if "fighting like an ozeki" can be seen as a compliment. hope he or someone else can emerge soon and change that ofc
