May 27, 2023 News and Notes

• And the betting situation at Alabama may have taken a turn which might expand this.  The man who was talking to former Alabama coach Brad Bohannon and betting on his advice is the father of a University of Cincinnati baseball player.  Say it with me now:  Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...   
• Yokozuna Terunofuji has won the May sumo tournament, one round in hand.  His defeat of Ozeki candidate Kiribayama ensured it.
• A win over hobbled Ozeki Takakeisho will leave Takakeisho at the mark he needed to get to stay an Ozeki, 8-7.
• All of the four Sekiwake got at least nine wins, so multiple promising Ozeki runs are either completed or started for July!
• Both Komusubi may go down.  Former Ozeki Shodai is headed down to at least Maegashira 1 (unless absolutely no other option exists, see below), and Kotonowaka must beat Meisei tomorrow, or he joins Shodai.
• Former suspended wrestler Abi can replace Shodai with a win tomorrow.
• But the bloodletting at the hands of the top six at Komusubi and the top several ranks of Maegashira could mean, with a win tomorrow for Nishikigi and losses by Shodai and Abi, Nishikigi could, with a 9-6 record, go all the way from Maegashira to Komusubi.
• Fuck Vince McMahon Day again.  Another Saudi blood show.
• And, for the first time (being in the tag-team main event probably did some of it), part-Syrian Sami Zayn went with the group this time.  Hoo boy...   
• Featured the long-awaited turn of at least one Uso from The Bloodline, but fuck Vince.
• 10-44 now for the A's.  6-3 losers to Houston today.
• That's ten in a row.
• 9,293 saw that debacle in Oakland today.
• 13,345 allegedly saw Friday night's loss.
