(SPOILER) Re: [sumo] Homasho and Terao

[Lon Howard]

I mentioned earlier that I am also a big fan of Homasho, for all the reasons 
cited.  I would like to see more aggression from him though...his patient 
mindset hurt him today as he wasn't ready to match Kakizoe's intensity.  I 
know we haven't seen that much of him yet, but at this early stage, it seems 
to me that he needs more variety in his sumo, which is what was said about 
his shisho.  Still, he's one of the more refreshing faces to come to 
makuuchi in a long time.
