it’s a good way to remind me to watch the daily matches.

aw yeah, that's one reason I started doing the daily posts, it reminds me to check out dondon first thing every morning and then look up the rest of the rikishi I'm following. Unfortunately Shishi, Ura, and Big Papa aren't doing so well this tourney! Luckily Onosato and Aonishiki are killin it.

Big Papa

I figured he'd be discouraged after recently coming so close to a yusho. After 20 years of sumo I don't think he's got much more left in him unfortunately-- if I had to guess I'd say this is the beginning of the end for him.
