Pretty late on my picks this time; I admit that the NHK utterly dismantling sumo YouTube kinda put a huge damper on my enthusiasm. But basho time has a way of invigorating one. Regarding my pick strategies, I left my usual Wakatakakage pick out since I figured being a late comer, I'd probably be too late to jump onboard. Perhaps Tobizaru isn't the wisest of replacements in my list, but gently caress it, I'm ride or die with the Flying Monkey. M1-5...I am not a Shodai believer, but I wanna see what he can do now that the weight of Ozeki is off his shoulders. M6-10 I'm betting on Takayasu to be genki enough after pulling out to rack up a solid score at this rank. M11 and below I basically don't trust anybody, so gently caress it, let's root for the newcomer and hope he can giant his way past the rank and file.

I really want to post goatse. Instead I only have these🍄.



Thanks for the well wishes everyone! It'll be a big fun wedding on my mom's property in the CA Central Valley, near the Sierra foothills. We've been planning it for a while, and it's finally feeling like it'll happen. I'm not sure if I'll watch the day's sumo on my wedding day, but you better believe I'll be watching it on my honeymoon.

I'll be closing the draft at 10 pm Pacific time, which should give me time to actually put in my picks. Please share whatever thing you're using to watch the basho, whether it's Natto or Kinta or whatever, and I'll add it to the OP.

Day 1 Juryo: probably the only sport where i can observe that a competitor (Tochinoshin) has an unhealthy looking butt lol

edit: ouch, bundled out effortlessly by an Ichinojo who had back surgery last month and went into the basho with very little training prep. not looking good for our boy :smith:

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Huge pop from the crowd for the Shodai.

edit: Tamawashi vs WTK ruled, so did Ura vs Ichiyamamoto. Man, good crowd throughout. Great to hear some atmosphere back in the arena.
