Onosato went 10-5 this basho and I think just about everyone agrees it was a pretty disappointing performance. That is telling. 10-5, 2 off the lead is disappointing. Imagine a fired up Onosato in March, 10-5 is his floor, what is his ceiling?

Narrator: The people were not happy with Tim being content

That’ll be my last kinboshi related post but when Hoshoryu loses a match or two we now have data to point to to say that yes that is a normal rate of losses.

A young man doing this brings me joy

Seems Asanoyama is looking to compete in Haru basho. He’ll be around Sandanme 20

I’ll be interested to see how the other rikishi respond to Hoshoryu’s promotion. Will the remaining Ozekis look more motivated, will people be coming after him and each other? Will it be business as usual.

Just put my guess the Banzuke prediction in and oh boy I don’t think I’ll be scoring super high this time, but maybe nobody will.
