|> The rule that rikishi from the same club are never matched

|> Futagoyama was strengthened this year by merging with

|> That the sumo association allows this super-stable
|> is a current topic of debate.  Here are
|> the Futagoyama members in makunouchi:
|> 
|> Takanohana  (13-2)
|> Wakanohana  (13-2)
|> Akinoshima  (9-6)
|> Takanonami  (9-6)
|> Takatoriki  (8-7)
|> Wakashoyo   (7-8)
|> Takamisugi  (7-8)
|> Toyonoumi   (7-8)
|> Misugisato  (5-10)
|> Nominohana  (Juryo)

|> After Akebono lost to Akinoshima in the last tournament it
|> was a let down to know that no Akinoshima-Hanada matches
|> would occur in the final days. I suppose there is a slight
|> advantage to Akinoshima and Takanonami, as well as to the
|> Hanadas.  At what point does the team become too big?

|> I mention Nomihohana - does anyone else think he looks a
|> whole lot like former Chiyonofuji?
