Sumo!!!

Today I went and watched the final day of the current Sumo tournament.  It was pretty sweet.  Its really cool because its such a long lasting tradition and its impressive that it is still the same today as it was probably hundreds of years ago.  Tradition aside, the best part was when a sumo fell onto one of the judges sitting ring side (he was okay).  It was pretty action-packed and the winner got a year's supply of all sorts of stuff including gas from the UAE (United Arab Emrites... its a country), a year's supply of Coke, and all sorts of trophies to go with it.  Here is the final match...
the guy that won this match got some nice earnings for winning, but the guy who lost went 14-1 on the tournament so he was the big winner.  I was hoping for some bracket style but apparently the Sumo-league and the BCS are in cahoots.
