Nothing about Yusho or Jun-yusho, just being in the race until 
senshuraku OR having 12 wins.  There were several follow-up messages 
to this list indicating other posters were reading this comment the 
same way I do. If you have other information, I really would love to 
read it! :)

Jeanne,

It may just be a typo, but I read their statement as "being in the race
until senshuraku AND having 12 wins."  That would indicate to me, that he is
at least 11-3 and only one back from the yusho leader going into day 15.
That would be the worse case.  Doesn't see very Yokozuna-like to me.
