	If he can get his head straight I think he's got a really good shot at
making Yokozuna.  This might be another case of advancing up the Banzuke
to fast.  But not necessarily.  OC, I might have this all backwards and
his head would be fine if he weren't injured.  Ah, what the heck do I
know anyway.

	Hakuho is one of the reasons I am unsure of Oosh'es mental
concentration facilitation (Oooh, big words that mean nothing; rock-on
K-jo).  Hakuho flew up the Banzuke but seems much more "ready" to make
the jump up from Ozeki.  Maybe.

	Actually I think this is just a rumor started by the NSK.  There's no
proof yet that it's true. :-P

K-jo the mighty mouth (fingers?)
