[sumo]Musashigawa remarks- Latest items from Moti

[Scott M. Kahn]

Personally, I did not take Joe's as being meant as anything but wise  
and constructive suggestions, perhaps mistakenly sent to the list  
instead of as a private post, and I thank him for his outstanding and  
tireless efforts.  I am glad that the mailing list appears  
rejuvenated, there have been many outstanding and heart-tugging posts.  
  I hope that Keri reconsiders as well as others.

This could be a very exciting basho with Hakuho coming off a Yusho and  
Asashoryu capturing the Mongolia jungyo which may have been considered  
even more delicious a title (sorry for being provocative again, it's  
hard to teach an old dog new tricks...), and having actually spent  
more time training.

Random thoughts on the upcoming basho before it starts...  Kokkai is  
unexplainably at the bottom of the Makuuchi Banzuke, how will he and  
other Eastern European rikishi respond following all of the political  
turmoil and drug controversies?  Will Baruto finally conquer the top  
rikishi, or for that matter will he stay healthy at this position?   
How about Kasugao, for that matter, who sometimes displays brilliant  
sumo and at other times is sloppy.  Which of the current mainstays,  
Toyonoshima, Kotoshogiku, Kisenosato, Aminishiki, and Asasekiryu will  
decide impress this tournament?  Can Ama finally challenge for a  
Yusho?  Is Goeido the real deal, and can Gaga's friend, Tochinoshin  
use his brief experience in Makuuchi to propel him up to the top of  
the banzuke?  Could the dohyo ever withstand a Yamamotoyama vs.  
Iwakiyama or Miyabiyama match, and might such a match be awaiting us  
in the future?  Wakanosato, Kaio, and Chiyotaikai, is there a yusho  
contending performance left within?  Dejima, can he have a double  
digit record by remaining on the dohyo?  Kaiho, is there something  
still left in the well?  What heart shown by Ichihara last basho!   
Will Takekaze take the Makuuchi elvevator ride up and Kyokutenho the  
elevator ride down?  Will Bushuyama take out missing a perhaps  
deserved promotion to Makuuchi on the Juryo field?  Will Tochinonada  
have any matches over 3 minutes long?

And, will Gaga learn how to utilize his huge frame and control his  
momentum to finally and figuratively push towards Juryo?  Daughter of  
Sukubidubidu is rooting for him, as Gaga is her selection as final  
Torchbearer of 2008!
