Jejima 1,384 Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) How will the Yokozuna do this year? Again this is a repeat question to the previous two years. I've also included a Zensho Yusho option. Same poll from the Start of 2005 and Start of 2006. Edited January 7, 2007 by Jejima Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jejima 1,384 Posted January 7, 2007 Needless to say, if you don't credit Asashoryu with all 6, please say which other rikishi will claim the others (Tsuppari...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Koriyama 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Tochiazuma and Kisenosato. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaiguma 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Tochiazuma and Kisenosato. Good luck, as Kisenosato should not get his 1st (of only 14 total) in 2008. Ol' Sho will lose 2 this year, to Osh and Tochiazuma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aderechelsea 125 Posted January 7, 2007 just one basho "stolen" by Hakuho. Or maybe 2 ... again by Hakuho .... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony 16 Posted January 7, 2007 (edited) Two yusho for Asashoryu. I think that, this year, he'll suffer his first big injury. So, two yusho and no zensho. Edited January 7, 2007 by Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slt 9 Posted January 7, 2007 Same as Nishinoshima, but I'll throw in a second zensho for Asa - Hakuho for the one basho that Asa won't clinch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fay 1,677 Posted January 7, 2007 5 Yusho for Asashoryu, one zensho yusho and the 6th yusho goes to ......... Kotoshoki (I am not worthy...) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Manekineko 200 Posted January 7, 2007 One by Hakuho, one by Azuma (khm, khm). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coo-cook 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Two yusho for Asashoryu. I think that, this year, he'll suffer his first big injury. So, two yusho and no zensho. Wow...it sounds like a curse.Awful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ganzohnesushi 515 Posted January 8, 2007 Asashoryu in 2007? I think (Whatever above, it is funny...) ;-) ;-) (First prize...) (First prize...) (First prize...) including two Zensho! Ganzohnesushi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gusoyama 103 Posted January 8, 2007 4 yusho, 1 zensho, and a new Yokozuna named Hakuho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torideyama 32 Posted January 31, 2007 One by Hakuho, One really Big Surprise by Kisenosato. You heard it hear first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Iwagakki 0 Posted February 1, 2007 One by Hakuho. No zensho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sasanishiki 57 Posted February 8, 2007 3 yusho, 1 zensho. Hakuho, Kotooshu and possibly Kisenosato. If Kise doesn't get one, then Hakuho will get 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asashosakari 19,320 Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) For kicks and giggles, I'll record an "Asashoryu's success was in part due to yaocho"-based vote. I don't actually believe the allegations, but I found it interesting to think about the implications if they were. And I've come to the following conclusion: no further 14 or 15 win bashos the rest of the year, and just 2 more yusho, both 13-2. Since it's all academic anyway, let's distribute the other three yusho equally among Hakuho, Osh and Kise. Edited February 8, 2007 by Asashosakari Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shibouyama 1 Posted February 8, 2007 I predict Ama will get one yusho, by zensho. Bart will just give up on trying to rehabilitate his knee, have the the leg amputated, and then without the injury holding him back will yusho twice. Also, Osh will yusho, but will continue to whine, mope, and grumble all the way through. Oh yeah, I predict Shibouyama will go to Haru Basho, drink a lot of beer, and hoot and holler for his favorite rikishi causing the mild-mannered ojii-san in the next box to join in and root for whomever Shibouyama isn't rooting for.

If only our audience was broader, I'd say you should quit your dayjob and do Ozumo stand-up. The Ama prediction is Seinfeld-esque in its ironic grasp of tenuously improbable reality. And the Bart comment rivals one of the funniest scenes of Monty Python history, possibly the funniest scene of all British humor, from 'The Meaning of Life': "A tiger?!?!? In Africa?!?!?" *EDIT: (Oops!) Sorry for (Whistling...) If replying to Monty Python portion, please do so in: Comedy - Sumo Forum.

Shibouyama 1 Posted February 8, 2007 Stay outta Nagoya! I hear it can get rough for drunk obnoxious foreigners there (Whistling...) I've heard that as well. Wasn't it Sal Paradise who said that? I'm almost getting paranoid to name even someone's avatar. Don't wanna get sued, etc... Anyways, I have no plans to go to Nagoya (although, scrappin' for a piece of the tawara sounds like fun). I go to Haru every year. I'm located in Yonago, Tottori (look it up, if you like) and anything else seems too far (although, Ive thought about going to Fukuoka the last two years and may go this year. Lots of empty masu seki!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shibouyama 1 Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) (Whistling...) its ironic grasp of tenuously improbable reality. Sorry, but I don't really undertand this. Embarrassing to admit, but... thanks. It's nice to get a laugh. My thing is, I can't really take anything seriously, including sumo. It's fun, great to watch, but, I laugh at it all (the world.)

I was being a little facetious anyway, but I guess what I'm saying is: Ama could actually do it given perfect conditions the right spirit/momentum, and a little luck. And if he did, it'd be absolutely hilarious. A hilarious dream never to be repeated. Ever have a dream that makes you laugh in your sleep so hard that you wake up and then you try to go back to sleep to find out what was so damn funny, but it's gone? It would be like that, only we'd have it on video. Edited February 8, 2007 by kaiguma Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
