Zeke Jones picked up the first piece of the puzzle in his plan for world domination. Well, that's overstating things a bit, but on Episode 314 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Jones talks about the first Pac-12 championship for Arizona State since 2006 and how the pieces of that monster recruiting class are starting to shape the program. Five Sun Devils won Pac-12 titles on Sunday at Maples Pavilion on the campus of Stanford University. A pair of brothers, a pair of Pennsylvania high school teammates and a super sophomore. How much have four of the freshmen champs improved since the start of the season? Get the 2017 Mat Talk Online Division I Digital Fan Guide by clicking this link. It's awesome. You'll love it.

Don’t think I’ll be using that AirPod/Backpack Studio connection in the future, especially in the garage. My wife took slight exception to the note about the noise, but after nine and a half years of marriage, I still like to poke a little fun. I’m Jason Bryant, and this is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores and more from around the world of wrestling. Anyone else hate Comcast? Not going down that rabbit hole.  Dual Meets:  No Division I action, but enough to chat about to make you want to order a 20-piece Chicken McNugget meal at 3:29 a.m. and ask them to put every sauce in the bag! Wait, sorry, flashbacks. And yes, I knew that in 2005, McDonalds on Columbia Avenue in Lancaster, PA started serving breakfast at 3:30 a.m. There’s only one way to discover that - the hard way.m I’ll start in D3, where third-ranked Wartburg remembered its fallen three-time national champion Kenny “Kennfucios” Anderson on Wednesday and then pounded Simpson (Iowa) 47-3. Kris Rumph, the guy who beat Iowa’s Gavin Teasdale over the weekend, yeah, he won by fall at 133. The win ran Wartburg’s win streak in the American Rivers Conference is now 215.  St. Cloud State, which should be ranked No. 1 when the next Division II rankings come out, extended its win streak to 52 in a row and its conference dual win streak to 69 in a row after shutting out Southwest Minnesota State 42-0 at Halenbeck Hall in St. Cloud. Top-ranked James Barzowski topped Nathan Moore 10-3 at 157 pounds.  Shippensburg knocked off Division III Waynesburg 35-12. The Red Raiders notched three falls, with the fastest coming from DeAndre Reed at 149 in 1:02. Northern State beat its Division III opponent, Concordia-Moorhead, 24-15 just across the Red River in Moorhead, Minnesota. Billy Holtan, son of longtime Mat Talk Podcast Network patron Bill Holton, picked up a major decision at 165 pounds in the Wolves’ winning effort. Going back to PA, Kutztown defeated Millersville 24-13. Moving south, Division II Belmont Abbey beat NAIA Bluefield 34-11 and Coker beat Truett McConnell 39-12 Division III Scranton won six bouts to knock off Division II East Stroudsburg 24-15 to win a Dundie. Don’t know what that is? That’s what she said. In keeping it D3, UW-La Crosse beat UW-Eau Claire 25-12 and UW-Whitewater beat UW-Platteville 27-12. Castleton beat Norwich 31-17 in New England. In the NAIA, Wayland Baptist beat Central Christian 45-12, Briar Cliff beat Northwestern (Iowa) 24-16. Lourdes beat Division III Defiance 29-14. I really should come up with more puns with Defiance.  On the women’s side, Oklahoma City beat Texas Wesleyan 41-7 with Cierra Foster picking up a fall at 143 pounds in just 20 seconds.  GET A FREE MONTH OF PODCAST HOSTING WITH LIBSYN There are approximately 66 active wrestling podcasts out there, with 20 of them on the Mat Talk Podcast Network.

TAKEDOWN CANCER It's time again to think about hosting a TakeDown Cancer event at one of your home meets, tournaments or youth events. TakeDown Cancer raises money for the Randy Shaver Cancer Research and Community Fund where over 91 percent of all money goes directly to research doctors and other cancer related projects. TakeDown Cancer is an all volunteer group with no paid salaries. TakeDown Cancer has raised almost $250,000. Please consider hosting an event. Go to www.takedowncancer.org for information or contact Mark Neu at mneu@shakopee.k12.mn.usLet’s TakeDown Cancer! - No one fights alone! Notables on the Docket for November 20: Pretty solid schedule across the board on November 20. In Division I, Missouri hosts Division II Central Missouri and NAIA Missouri Valley, while a pair of teams from out west head east. Oregon State heads to George Mason, while Air Force will face Hofstra. In Division II, a pair of newer programs will hook up as Urbana will face Bellarmine. In D3, we’ve got Manchester heading to Adrian, an all-Iowa tilt as Central faces Coe, while up in Wisconsin, UW-Stevens Point will face UW-Oshkosh. A pretty solid slate of duals in the NAIA, with Corban facing Simpson and Southern Oregon in a tri-meet, while Life Pacific will host Arizona Christian. Vanguard will also be in the house facing Arizona Christian. That’s a tri with three teams in the west all started in the past two years. Warner Pacific is at Montana State-Northern, Central Methodist heads to Iowa for a men’s and women’s double dip with Grand View. Grand View trying to extend its win streak to 79. The Vikings currently hold the second longest win streak in college wrestling history. If the math is right, the Vi kings won’t break the record of 92 this season. Doane is at Midland, Benedictine is at St. Mary and who knows what the heck is going on at Lindenwood-Belleville. Last I’d heard was the school was going to consolidate its sports with Lindewood’s main campus in Missouri. The women’s roster and coaching staff hasn’t been updated, yet the women are supposed to face MacMurray, while the men are allegedly facing off with Calumet College of St. Joseph.  Keeping with the women’s schedule, Limestone heads to King, Adrian is at Tiffin, Simpson is also up at Southern Oregon with the men and Midland heads west to face Colorado Mesa.  FROM THE DWN: Wyatt Henson, the son of Sammie Henson and a 2021 Iowa commit, was reportedly ruled ineligible for the postseason by the WPIAL, which is essentially the athletic association for Western PA. Henson started out at Waynesburg Central while his dad was the head coach a short distance away in Morgantown, West Virginia at WVU. IAwrestle posted about it, while PA Power is following up.  Craig Sesker follows up on the story Trackwrestling posted yesterday, in which he believes freestyle should replace folkstyle. He writes this on The Predicament.  Earlier this week, I posted about Anthony Ashnault and Nick Suriano of Rutgers getting the nod to attend the White House as NCAA Collegiate Champions Day. TheMat.com’s Gary Abbott confirms Penn State’s team championship as well as individual titlists Yianni Diakomihalis of Cornell, Drew Foster of Northern Iowa and Mekhi Lewis of Virginia Tech will also be in attendance. Penn State will be represented by Jason Nolf, Bo Nickal, Nick Nevills and Mason Manville along with Senior Associate AD Rick Kaluza. I say again, I don’t care about your politics. Next.  Everyone’s favorite podcasting wrestling teenagers, Sam Herring and Jude Swisher, have added Mason Beckman to the Home Mat Advantage team. Lucky for Beckman, he can still pass as 15.  Lots of conference awards being named, and again, they’re in the newsletter, but not all here. One that will be here today is from the South Atlantic Conference Carolinas, which is a hybrid collection of wrestling schools in those two conferences. Mount Olive, a first year program led by past Purdue All-American Jake Patacsil, had its first award winner as Hayden Waddell was honored as the Wrestler of the Week after winning the Star City Classic last weekend.  Flowrestling is looking ahead to Iowa-Iowa State by looking back at the history of the series, giving us six reasons to watch AND trying to piss off Hawkeye fans by giving you the way Iowa State can win the dual.  After hearing about Quant Wrestling on yesterday’s On The Mat, Trackwrestling drops a statistical breakdown by Quant Wrestling that breaks down various scoring attacks and analytics from the 2019 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. Stat nerds should love it.  On The Network Inside Virginia Tech Wrestling talks with Hokies head wrestling coach Tony Robie about the upcoming trip to Washington, D.C. to accompany NCAA champion Mekhi Lewis on his visit to the White House. We also recap the win over Ohio State and the upcoming Navy Classic. You can get to read those stories and more from Mat Talk Online’s daily wrestling newsletter.

The Olympic Spirit is running strong through the Short Time Wrestling Podcast as we get ready for Rio with Episode 277. On today's show, we'll talk with USA Today Sports Columnist Nancy Armour (Twitter: @nrarmour) about some of the stories she'll be covering in Rio as well as some backstory on how some Olympic stories get mega press and others get overlooked. Armour is a veteran journalist and an award-winning Olympic writer. Having covered 11 Olympic Games on both the winter and summer side of things, her insight and knowledge is one wrestling fans will want to take in. She knows why things move the needle and we could probably take a hint or two throughout the course of the episode. Armour also hosts an Olympic-themed podcast called Going for Gold, which is available on iTunes (linked already) and on Soundcloud.

Hey folks, it’s been a while. I’ve had a trip to Virginia, an appearance on a radio station that once fired me after five hours and of course, SNOW! But it’s a Tuesday night, the Bartz Brothers here in New Brighton have unveiled a new snow sculpture and I’m back to give you a rundown of the scores and more from January 16, 2018. This is Short Time Shots and I’m your host, Hall of Fame wrestling writer, broadcaster and announcer, Jason Bryant. Stellar Top 10 dual in Division III as unbeaten and fifth-ranked Loras -- the DUHAWKS! -- beat ninth-ranked Central College 25-12. Loras won six of the 10 bouts, but bonus points were the word of the day as four of the six wins picked up some extra sumpin’ sumpin’ -- even with an injury default at 133 where Michael Triplett was up 10-1 on All-American Cam Timok before Timok was forced to injury default. No, that’s not quite a nod to Lagunitas -- or is it Lagu-nit-as -- asking for a friend, right Richard Immel? North Central topped Wheaton 33-9 in a matchup of Top 25 teams. Wins were few and far between for the Thunder, who came in No. 25 in the most recent Division III rankings. Mount Union improved to 9-1 and picked up a second OAC win with a 39-9 win over Muskingum in Alliance, Ohio on Tuesday. Michael McIntire registered the quickest fall of the night for the Purple Raiders at 1:18 at 157 pounds. Greensboro comes off the Virginia Duals and picks up a 28-24 win over Southern Virginia. Time for your semi-irregular Student Princes update. Yes, the Student Princes of Heidelberg evened its record at 6-6 with a 23-12 win over Otterbein, that action taking place in the OAC. In Division II, Pitt-Johnstown got a technical fall from heavyweight D.J. Sims lifted the Mountain Cats past Seton Hill 21-17. UPJ also picked up a crucial win at 165 pounds as Devin Austin earned a 5-4 win over Zach Voytek. Cody Law’s fall at 157 wasn’t totally unexpected, but the bonus points were needed down the stretch. Mixing up some divisions, which is what we’re about to do, we saw Drury University of Missouri pick up its first dual meet win of the season. The Panthers topped Arkansas’ University of the Ozarks, a Division III school headed up by former Junior world teamer LeRoy Gardner. We had him on The Ice Hour last year -- he’s got a story about Uzbekistan, but doesn’t everybody? Extra credit: coach James Reynolds wrestled at Adams State. Speaking of Panthers! Up in Michigan, bumping away from Kyle Nixon was a bad idea! What happened up in the mitten, well Davenport University won three of the last four matches to move past Division III Alma College 24-21. In case you’re wondering where the heck Davenport is -- it’s in the home of Bloodround -- Grand Rapids, Michigan and they’re reclassifying from the NAIA to Division II. And yes, they are the Panthers, too. By the way, the aforementioned Mr. Nixon DOES have a podcast. Gold star when you find it. In the NAIA, Grand View won again -- and this just in, snow … is cold. The Vikings won for the 62nd time in a row and the 91st time in the last 92 duals. Lyon and Hannibal-LaGrange were canceled due to inclement weather -- the real reason according to Julia Salata is because Southerners are soft. No tickets if you keep that up, pal! Barton Community College swept three duals at the Barton Duals. The Cougars -- GO COUGARS -- beat Colby 55-0, Cowley 42-6 and Northwest Kansas Tech 28-13. No report on the other scores, since most junior colleges don’t really update their athletic websites the night of a road dual in the middle of Kansas. Just how it is.   The Short Time Time Wrestling Podcast is proudly supported by Compound Clothing. And if you haven't already, leave a rating and a review on iTunes.

Modine, who's starred in numerous films over the years also has a penchant for writing, which has led him to write over a dozen short films during his career.

Sally Roberts has been there, done that. On Episode 289 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Roberts, a two-time World bronze medalist, talks about her new non-profit organization, Wrestle Like A Girl, a group focused on growing females in sport and life. A native of Washington, Roberts found wrestling as a way to keep herself out of trouble -- like real trouble. Wrestling prior to the world of Cadet and Junior Championships in Fargo and in an era where college wrestling for women was still in its infancy, wrestling led her to World Championships as well as a career in the Army's World Class Athlete Program. Roberts explains what WLAG is about, who else is involved and how they are looking to empower girls all over the country and the world through wrestling and sports.

Mike Moor has been a visible figure with the branding behind Wrestling Mindset, a mindset training brand that originated out of the brains of the Zannetti brothers. At the NWCA Convention, we caught up with Mike Moor, one of the guys with boots on the ground at wrestling events nationwide pushing the Wrestling Mindset program. Moor has an interesting backstory, growing up in Long Island and finding his way into the FBI before walking away to work in wrestling.

Day 1 of Cadet Greco-Roman is off and running at the Olympic Arena in Athens, Greece. Episode 353 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast talks with coaches Zac Dominguez, Justin "Harry" Lester and Matt Lindland about their roles and the development of Greco-Roman wrestling. The first day also saw the opening of a new two-day format that's more in line with how American wrestling fans are used to viewing. Coach Lindland talks about that angle and the developmental system and organizational system USA Wrestling has implemented the past few years. Updates from Cadets will be a tad more plentiful this week.

Bobby Wilder build Old Dominion’s football program from the ground up. Hired in 2007 and the first touchdown was scored in August of 2009. Wilder led ODU to two FCS playoff berths and a victory in the Bahamas Bowl over Eastern Michigan in 2016. Wilder was let go from his position as the head football coach last year after a disastrous 1-11 season. On Episode 602 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Wilder gives his perspective and thoughts about the situation at Old Dominion and what the thought was when the school dropped its wrestling program on April 2. Wilder’s son Drew was a two-time high school state place winner at Jamestown High School in Williamsburg, Virginia and Drew and ODU head coach Steve Martin’s son Max were in the state finals the same year in 2019. Wilder’s perspective and position gives a different look at things from the eyes of a football coach who was relied upon to raise funds and it’s not a perspective often heard in depth in wrestling circles.

In just the fourth year of wrestling at Maryville University, coach Mike Denney led his Saints to the championship at the NWCA Division II National Duals in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Denney, who's patrolled the edge of the mat as a wrestling coach at the college and high school level for nearly a half-century, won seven Division II titles as the head coach at Nebraska-Omaha. When Denney's UNO program won its third straight Division II title in 2011, his program was unceremoniously dropped by UNO administrators with new Athletic Director Trev Alberts leading the charge. Then Maryville came calling, literally, days after the announcement. After packing up Omaha and the house he lived in for 37 years, Coach Denney and a handful of other UNO castoffs headed to St. Louis to start a wrestling program. Denney calls it a "delightful challenge." Four years later, the Saints are No. 1 in Division II. Denney talks about the scenario that led to coming to Maryville, his dreams of competing in the NFL and his semi-pro football career in Omaha and then on to coaching and building a culture at Maryville and previously, at "that other place." The Saints beat Notre Dame College for the Division II championship and Denney explains how he built the program and what it's going to take to win the Division II title this year. It's an engaging, informative and engaging interview with one of the most amazing coaches in the sport of wrestling, Maryville's Mike Denney.

Few rivalries can transcend every sport. Even as big as Michigan-Ohio State or Iowa-Iowa State or Texas-Oklahoma are, the one institutional rivalry that seems to trump everything, regardless of sport is Army-Navy. On February 19 at Christl Arena in West Point, N.Y., Army West Point will host Navy in the 61st meeting between the two schools on the wrestling mat. On Episode 310 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we talk with Navy head coach Joel Sharratt and Army West Point head coach Kevin Ward about their backgrounds and what the rivalry means in their eyes -- and these two guys have a decent background on what a rivalry is -- Ward wrestled at Oklahoma State and Sharratt at Iowa.

[powerpress] So what more can be written about Dan Gable? That's exactly what Scott Schulte set to find out as he recently released a book penned with Gable called "A Wrestling Life: The Inspiring Stories of Dan Gable." On Episode 159 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, I'll have a chat with Schulte, a self-professed storyteller by trade and mild-mannered editor of an Iowa weekly newspaper in his other life. Schulte breaks down the process of how he, while then living in Connecticut, connected with Gable at the 2012 Olympic Trials and how that meeting evolved into a book that contains stories as told by Gable that have never previously been published. A Wrestling Life is available at Amazon.com and your local big box bookseller like Barnes & Noble.

An Oregon native, Sam Schmitz said his introduction to women's wrestling wasn't a stellar one. Years later, Schmitz is now the head wrestling coach at McKendree University in Illinois where he coached the Bearcats to the school's first NWCA National Duals title in Louisville, Kentucky a few weeks ago. On Episode 491 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, I talk with Schmitz about his path to coaching, what his college career was like prior to coaching and how he hired his future wife as a graduate assistant, but he didn't actually know it at the time. Schmitz also talks about the landscape of women's college wrestling, the differences in coaching both genders as he's also an assistant with the men's program and there's also the Short Time on Short Time segment.

A little bit of free form conversation on Episode 594 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast as Richard Immel of SportsEngine stops by and is the first "in Speakeasy" guest in New Brighton.

It’s #GivingTuesday and I want to implore you to consider contributing the the Mat Talk Podcast Network. This is more than just podcasts. This show, Short Time Shots, is just a glimpse at what type of news I provide, for free, to the wrestling community at an almost daily basis. Why almost daily? I’ve got a wife and kids, too.  At the end of each episode, I normally make a plug about contributing. This show and the daily wrestling newsletter is a value for value model. If you find it of value and worthwhile to you, consider making a one-time or small monthly contribution to what you think this is worth to you. If you like it just fine and feel like you’re spending enough on wrestling subscriptions and online offerings, that’s absolutely fine. If you think this is actually worth something more than your time, hey, give that a shot too. You can modify your contribution at any time. Go to mattalkonline.com/contribute to see the various ways you can help out. I’ve got a staff of 10 - fingers. Thanks to Pat Fitzgerald, Trent Kroll, John McCarty and Craig Scharer for their contributions this Tuesday.  That’s it for the sales pitch, because THIS is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily recap of the scores and more in and around the world of wrestling, I’m Jason Bryant and in the morning, I’m off to Canuckistan! I mean, Canada. In case you’re wondering, yes, I’m announcing the Canadian Olympic Trials. Yes, they hold them in December. They’re in Niagara Falls, which is actually SOUTH of where I live. Why do they set the team so early? Well, I’ll have an investigative, expose, The World In Crisis. Double gold star if you catch THAT reference.  Dual Meets:  I’d say Mount Union was pretty pumped up about their win on Tuesday. The Purple Raiders social media accounts quickly tagged me on Twitter (@jasonmbryant) to let me know No. 6 Mount Union beat No. 7 Baldwin Wallace 31-9 in the Yellowjackets own gym. Mount Union head coach Josh Malave with quite the conundrum, having to X out the M in Mount Union’s name all week. The only matchup of ranked foes saw Jordin James, ranked No. 1 at 141 for Mount Union, beat No. 9 Charlie Nash 11-4. Lenny Reich shout out as well! Elsewhere in the Ohio Athletic Conference, No. 21 John Carroll picked up its first shutout in three years, topping the Fighting Muskies of Muskingum 43-0. Fastest fall of the night came at 165, where Canton, Ohio native Luke Reicosky picked up six in 64 seconds.  Otterbein improved to 5-2 on the season after beating Ohio Northern 30-15. Top-ranked Drew Kasper picked up another W at 285 for the Cardinals, improving to 14-0 on the season and registering his sixth fall of the year.  And while I’d like to give Mount Union the graphic on Twitter and Instagram, that honor goes to Division II Kentucky Wesleyan. The Panthers won its first dual in school history, topping NAIA Midway 26-19 in Midway, Kentucky. Last year, Kentucky Wesleyan went 0-10 in its maiden season. Kairus Washington’s fall at 285 sealed the deal.  Sticking with some Division II action, Indianapolis shutout Urbana 48-0.  In the NAIA, Williams Baptist beat Hannibal-LaGrange 39-15. Anyone get ZZ Top stuck in their head anytime they hear the name Hannibal-LaGrange? No? The Eagles picked up five falls in the American Midwest Conference win.  In an odd scheduling note, there were two women’s duals initially scheduled on Tuesday, but the North Central-UW-Stevens Point dual was moved to February 18, and the Emmanuel-McKendree dual was canceled. Which can be spelled with one L or two. Cancelled. See. I didn’t get a red underline when I typed it, but you … can’t actually see that.  Notables on the Docket: Division II Lander will host its first dual in school history as the Bearcats welcome another first-year program, fellow Division II member and conference mate Mount Olive. Mount Olive won its first dual as a program last week - this is the first time Lander is stepping on the mat for a dual, ever. Kentucky Wesleyan will try to win two in a row as they visit NAIA Thomas More. There will be no more Elisabeth Shue references. Well, there might be.  In Division III, we have a five duals involving teams from D3 and all five of them are in-state battles. Pitt-Bradford faces Thiel, Southern Virginia faces the new NJCAA program at Southwest Virginia Community College, Fontbonne takes on Westminster, NAIA Lincoln faces Millikin and UW-Stevens Point faces UW-Platteville.  The NAIA mostly follows suit, as Truett McConnell faces Life, Central Christian takes on Ottawa and Arizona Christian faces Embry-Riddle. Grand View and Baker gotta screw it all up by being from different states.  Fontbonne and Westminster are scheduled to go there on the women’s side as well, while Saint Mary (Kan.) heads to wrestle Missouri Valley.  FROM THE DWN: The University of Iowa announced on Tuesday that four-time All-American Brandon Sorensen has begun undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. There are numerous outlets with information on this, including the Daily Iowan, Trackwrestling, The Cedar Rapids Gazette, the Quad City Times … after this kind of news, there really isn’t much I want to promote here today. Thoughts are with Sorensen, his family and the entire Iowa wrestling family.  The only good news really coming from Iowa today was the Hawkeyes did come in as a unanimous No. 1 in the NWCA Division I Coaches Poll. Slight movement, nothing major.  No major changes in the NJCAA Team Rankings as Western Wyoming is still No. 1 there.  From the Asbury Park Press, Rutgers head wrestling coach Scott Goodale gives a mighty endorsement for the football program bringing back Greg Schiano as head football coach. Apparently, Goodale was a pretty good tosser of the pigskin back in high school. Not quite like Uncle Rico, but good.  Cuban Olympic medalist Alexis Vila was sentenced to 15 years in prison for his role in arranging a murder. Yikes.  Cronkite News, which we’ve discussed on the show before, drops another solid wrestling piece, this time Sarah Farrell profiles Marlee Smith, the lone woman on the Arizona State wrestling team. There’s even a quote from your sometimes-humble host, that’s me.  The Cuban Greco-Roman wrestling team is leaving Iran, according to the Mehr News Agency. The Cubans were training in the run up to the Greco-Roman World Cup, which was postponed by United World Wrestling last week. The Iranian contingent is adamant they will put on the event, passing off alleged safety concerns in the country.  This was posted yesterday, but since there was no Shots, I repeat such info here. The Japan News reports that four-time Olympic champion Kaori Icho has not entered the All Japan Championships set for this weekend, effectively ending her chances at winning an unprecedented fifth Olympic wrestling gold medal. She’s the only human being who has ever walked the planet to win four Olympic gold medals in wrestling.  On The Network Kyle Klingman and Andy Hamilton go On The Mat with the Director of Wrestling and the head men’s wrestling coach at Presbyterian College, Mark Cody.  WarUP on The WPIAL with Jeff Upson and Greg Warnock chat about things related to Waynesburg Central in Western Pennsylvania.  Keep an eye out for a new show coming this week on the network called State of Wrestling. It’ll be an organizational podcast coming from the NWCA. I’ll host it and the first guest will be NWCA Executive Director Mike Moyer. Little background on the organization and some insight on what’s happening to grow the sport there.  You can get to read those stories and more from Mat Talk Online’s daily wrestling newsletter.

Drew Foster became the first NCAA Division I champion from Northern Iowa since 2000 when he topped Cornell's Max Dean in the finals at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh at 184 pounds. On Episode 501 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, I'll talk with Foster about his rise from a sub-.500 wrestler as a freshman, to his All-American finish as a sophomore and his final season, which saw him best an opponent who'd already beaten him twice. He'll explain what it's like wrestling in Iowa and why Northern Iowa is Iowa's team.

Tony Hager, one of the guys behind IAWrestle, joins Short Time as part of International Podcast Day to talk about what he’s been doing with IAwrestle, Night of Conflict and his Rokfin-based Hager’s Happy Hour, which is a wrestling-centric show about pretty much anything. Well, beer and wrestling and everything else.

Hager and Bryant talk about the genesis of the show idea, turn things around to talk about the importance of podcasting on the wrestling medium, as well as thing we all do to help one another promote the sport and developing the brands and content behind it.

LEADING OFF Life University, ranked second in the NAIA to open the season welcomed first-year Montreat to the world of wrestling with a 49-(-1) dual win on Wednesday night. Yes, in case you haven’t been listening to the intro, we DO have college wrestling going on in places. Briar Cliff beat Northwestern - the one in Iowa 34-7. This is the time of year where I tell you that Northwestern College is in Orange City, Iowa but for some reason, they’re the Red Raiders. The Chargers of Briar Cliff won eight out of 10, highlighted by a first-period fall from Matthew Wilke at 285  

ROCKING WRESTLING FACT DROP In 1994, the NJCAA started awarding two national championships - one for scholarship-offering schools and another for non-scholarship schools. The team scores would be counted in the same division, but only divisions broken out based on the existing competition. In the first year, Harper College won the non-scholarship division, but actually scored more points than the scholarship division champion, Garden City. Harper outscored Garden City 115-108.75. It’s not the only time it’s happened. Again, Harper outscored Iowa Central in 2010, 137-116.

[powerpress] Earl Smith talks Vengeance in Virginia coming December 6. The event, which starts at 3 p.m. at Top of the Podium in Sterling, will feature 18 bouts with a mix of high school boys, high school girls and one college all-star bout. Information can be found at VirginiaWrestling.com. Live streaming will be available on Trackwrestling.com. SHORT TIME SHOTSThe University of Tennessee at Chattanooga announced on Wednesday that the 2021 Southern Scuffle has been canceled. Full details can be found at GoMocs.com, but congratulations 2020, you’ve already screwed up the first two days of 2021. We know for certain that the Virginia Duals and Southern Scuffle are two tournaments that have been axed for the first part of 2021 and it goes without saying that the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational, which would take place this coming weekend, has also been sacked. The Midlands hasn’t made an official announcement, but the tournament staff has told me it’s not happening this season. Division II Lincoln Memorial, a start-up men’s and women’s program in the mountains of Tennessee announced Andy Bricker as its new Director of Wrestling. That’s a fancy name for saying dude who will oversee both programs and probably hire assistants that are really kind of head coaches for those specific teams. Bricker was one of three brothers who wrestled for Campbell back in the day. Joey, Adam and Andy comprised the first three starting weights for the Camels, who at the time, were really, really bad. Now, they’re not. Story here. In network news, podcast partner The Guillotine, the absolute ultimate site here for Minnesota wrestling, will celebrate its 50th anniversary this year. The St. James Plain Dealer has a story about it in the newsletter, and here in the show notes, since I’m talking about it. The final installment of Mark Churella’s story from Etched in Stone was released on Tuesday. You can find that here on the Mat Talk Online website or at NWHOF.org. This really was a fun series to put together. Ryan Warner of Wrestling Change My Life will be contributing several episodes in a couple of serialized story arcs as well.

There’s been 10 straight days of Short Time Shots. This is National Podcast Post Month, which is kinda like National Novel Writing Month. NaPodPoMo as compared to NaNoWriMo. The goal is to put out a podcast a day for the month of November. This is part of the reason Short Time Shots came back. The season’s here, it started on November 1 and there’s wrestling news virtually every day. What’s going to make this suck is Thanksgiving, but I’ll figure something out. This is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores in more from the world of wrestling, I’m sore from the trampoline park, I’m installing flooring now in the studio, and most importantly, I’m your soundtrack, Jason Bryant.   Dual Meets:  No. 1 Penn State extended its win streak to 60 in a row with a 45-0 shutout of Navy in front of a sold out crowd at Rec Hall. Penn State picked up six bonus victories, including falls from Mark Hall at 174 pounds and Anthony Cassar at heavyweight. As far as ranked wins go, top-ranked Vincenzo Joseph teched No. 11 Tanner Skidgel at 165, while Hall decked Spencer Carey in just under a minute. It was the 49th straight sellout at home for Penn State. The 60 in a row is the eighth-longest dual meet win streak in college wrestling history. It’s the fifth longest in major college wrestling history.  The three longest active streaks in college wrestling are Grand View’s 76 in a row in the NAIA, St. Cloud State’s 51 in a row in Division II, which is just three away from tying their own Division II record and Penn State’s 60 in Division I.  Ohio State debuted their new arena with some style as the third-ranked Buckeyes chopped down Stanford 29-6 in Columbus. The Covelli Center was abuzz as Ohio State won nine out of 10 bouts, including Luke Pletcher’s cardiac win over Stanford freshman Real Woods in sudden victory at 141. At 157, Elijah Cleary recovered from being rode for about 15 minutes to rally to force sudden victory and beat Tyler Eischens. Stanford’s only win came by fall at 165 as Shane Griffith stuck Ethan Smith. Kollin Moore went Hulk Smash on Nathan Traxler.  In the first Mound on the Mat dual held at English Field at Atlantic Union Bank Park, No. 11 Virginia Tech got a major decision at heavyweight to push past No. 21 Northwestern 21-18. John Borst’s major decision over Jack Heyob closed out the dual, which was a 5-5 split between the teams. Northwestern’s Sebastian Rivera, a two-time All-American at 125, was up at 133 and majored Collin Gerardi 13-4 as the dual went back and forth but bonus points was also the theme as six of the 10 bouts had bonus wins. Mitch Moore went yard after pinning Jack Tolin at 141 pounds, but Yahya Thomas of Northwestern fired right back with a major over Brent Moore at 149. Northwestern’s Ryan Deakin and Virginia Tech’s David McFadden traded majors at 157 and 165. Hunter Bolen earned a huge major decision over Jack Jessen at 184. Lucas Davison, fresh off a Junior world silver, stopped Stan Smeltzler 5-3 at 197 to give the Wildcats their last lead. Borstyman then finished it off for the Hokies on a sunny and mild November afternoon. Play Ball! Army West Point went 2-0 at the inaugural Chattanooga Duals. The Black Knights beat host Chattanooga 18-12 as Alex Hopkins and Bobby Heald closed out the Mocs with wins at 197 and 285, while it was the opposite against Illinois as the Black Knights built a 19-6 lead after seven matches and cruised. Illinois beat host Chattanooga 22-10. Campbell evened its record at 1-1 with a 24-16 win over host Ohio on Sunday. At 133 pounds, the top matchup of the day saw Mario Guillen of Ohio top Noah Gonser of Campbell. Matthew Dallara of Campbell picked up a solid win over Zac Carson at 157, while Andrew Morgan picked up another major decision at 184. My wife and I started a re-watch of sorts with The Office last night, so we close out the dual portion of the episode with the Electric City Duals, hosted by Scranton. The host Royals went 4-0 and beat Middlesex Community College 45-3, Oneonta State 19-16, Rowan College of Gloucester, which used to be known as Gloucester County, 25-24, and Lackawanna College 35-18. Toby, NO! Tournaments:  Top notes from the DefenseSoap/Journeymen Collegiate Classic were Dom Demas of Oklahoma pinning Nebraska’s Chad Red at 141, Arizona State’s Josh Maruca lost three times on the day to finish sixth in his pool at 149, the pool was won by Nebraska’s Colin Purinton, who’s like a 10th year senior. This guy has been around forever, but he wrestled well. Isaiah White of Nebraska beat Josh Shields of Arizona State 6-1 in a battle of All-Americans at 165 pounds. All-American Jordan Kutler of Lehigh beat All-American Mikey Labriola of Nebraska 4-1 to claim the title at 174 in Pool A. At 184 pounds, a late score by returning national champion Zahid Valencia lifted him to his pool title over Nebraska All-American Taylor Venz and Utah Valley heavyweight Tate Orndorff probably had the best day, beating All-Americans Tanner Hall of Arizona State and Jordan Wood of Lehigh to claim the A bracket at 285 pounds.  The big result at the Jonathan Kaloust Bearcat Open at Binghamton was Lou DePrez of the host squad knocking off All-American Ben Darmstadt of Cornell, who was returning to the mats after a year away due to injury - and coming down a weight in the process.   Harold Nichols Cyclone Open: Nine of the 10 titles were won by athletes from schools in the state of Iowa. Iowa State had four champs, as did Northern Iowa. Grand View also had an individual champion - all of that from the open division. The one non-Iowa school to pick up a title was Drew Scharenbrock at 157 - he’s from Wisconsin. Among the better finals, Northern Iowa’s Max Thomsen knocked off Iowa State’s Jarrett Degan 12-7 at 149 in a battle of All-Americans. Bryce Steiert’s move up to 174 has been so far so good for UNI. Steiert beat Iowa State’s Marcus Coleman 6-0 in the finals there. The move up was also good for UNI’s Taylor Lujan, who defeated Sam Colbray of Iowa State 7-5 in the finals at 184. Grand View’s Tyree Sutton beat Northern Iowa’s Tyrell Gordon 3-1 in the finals to give the NAIA a champ at the event at 197.  Some solid Arizona State true freshmen won titles - Nick Raimo at 125, Trey Munoz at 174 and Cohlton Schultz at heavyweight. Three notable titles were won by Northern Colorado Bears: Mosha Schwartz at 133, Andrew Alirez at 149 and Alan Clothier at 184. Last week, we told you about Boise State alum Ben VomBaur wrestling with his sons, Will and Vance at the Cowboy Open. Well, he did most of that again, wrestling with his son Will at the event. This time, they both took third. VomBaur was a two-time All-American at Boise State in 2002 and 2003. So he’s close to 40.  Cleveland State won six titles at the Ohio Intercollegiate Open, with the most notable coming at 141 pounds as Evan Cheek knocked off Drew Mattin of Michigan in the semifinals and then beat younger brother Cole Mattin in the finals. Ohio State won three weights as Carson Kharchla, Rocky Jordan and Gavin Hoffman won their weights. The only non-Ohio State or Cleveland State champion was Mercyhurst heavyweight Jacob Robb.  On the women’s side, Emmanuel captured six titles at the East Stroudsburg Open, while first-year Presbyterian won three weights.  Bakersfield College won California’s Southeast Conference tournament, outdistancing second-place West Hills.  PROMO CODE WARNING There are approximately 63 active wrestling podcasts out there, with 20 of them on the Mat Talk Podcast Network.

TAKEDOWN CANCER It's time again to think about hosting a TakeDown Cancer event at one of your home meets, tournaments or youth events.

Go to www.takedowncancer.org for information or contact Mark Neu at mneu@shakopee.k12.mn.usLet’s TakeDown Cancer! - No one fights alone! Notables on the Docket for November 11: NOTHING. YOU GET NOTHING. Just like Weaver in Wheel of Fish. Yes, I saw Weird Al Yankovic live back in August at the Minnesota State Fair. And that’s a UHF reference. Today, we’re going to teach poodles how to fly.  FROM THE DWN: In many situations during the season, much of what you hear about in the scores above will be in the daily wrestling newsletter, so I won’t repeat items that are included here that I’ve mentioned above.  The Mankato Free Press follows past Division II national champion Jason Rhoten from Minnesota State-Mankato as he’s hunting elk in Montana.  Omaha.com with the biggest banner ad I’ve ever seen. But below that is a feature from Gene Schinzel on the Huskers wrestling lineup this season as the team looks to butcher the Emeril Lagase phrase by taking it up a notch. It’s like the guy in the business meeting who thinks he’s big on Emeril and goes, BOOM, take it to the next level. What up Nate Schy! It was in yesterday’s newsletter, but I’ll mention it again here as Tim Hands of FivePointMove.com liked his chat with Minnesota Storm Greco-Roman coach Dan Chandler so much, that he posted

The 21st annual Dream Team Classic from Cliff Keen and Wrestling USA Magazine will head to Indiana for the first time and here to talk about it on the Short Time Wrestling Podcast is the man behind IndianaMat.com, Joe Caprino. Headlining the senior class for the Hoosier State is Brayton Lee, Lucas Davison and Mason Parris. The event will be streamed live on Flowrestling on April 14 at 6 p.m. Eastern from Brownsburg High School in Brownsburg, Indiana. Caprino will give us a weight-by-weight look at what to expect from the Indiana kids and where they've committed. The Short Time Time Wrestling Podcast is proudly supported by Compound Clothing.

The number 12 carries religious, mythological and magical symbolism, generally representing perfection, entirety or cosmic order in traditions since antiquity. It’s also the number of qualifiers teams in the NAIA are allowed to send to the national championships, and the most frequent number won by Super Bowl winning quarterbacks. None of that is scientifically researched because why should I be the last guy on the earth to fact-check things before I post them. The first citation is from my former roommate Willie Evans and the rest of the 12 House Crew as we celebrate the 12 House New Year on 12:12 at 12:12. This is Short Time Shots, your mostly daily recap of the scores and more from around the world of wrestling. I’m Jason Bryant and I’ll probably be recording this around 12:12 … on the 13th. By the way, it’s never the best look to apologize in the intro of a podcast, so I won’t. However, why no Shots the past few days? Well after realizing it’s extremely difficult to schedule and cultivate this while working an event - I was in Canada announcing their Olympic Trials - it’s also tough to do when you don’t have another parent around. My wife was also traveling for business. But I did decide to push one out today - why? Well, the longer you put off doing something, the longer it takes for you to actually do it - or something. You know what I mean. Minnesota Beer of the Night: French River by Wooden Hill Brewing. To be honest, I didn’t like it too much. It’s a 6.5 percent saison, but it tasted better when I had it at the brewery in Edina. Could just be a bad can. I contemplated not doing it, but for consistency sake, because this show is ALL about consistency. New Patron: Thanks to my man Tony White back in Virginia. He’s the newest team member of the Mat Talk Podcast Network. Find out how to be a cool guy like Tony later on in the show.  Dual Meets:  In Division II, No. 2 Nebraska-Kearney dropped in-state rival Chadron State 26-16 in Western Nebraska. Top-ranked Wesley Dawkins bumped up to 141 pounds and picked up a major decision for the Lopers. Returning national champion Matt Malcom also picked up a win at 165. No. 6 Upper Iowa cruised past Southwest Minnesota State 28-6 in Northern Sun action. The Peacocks’ top-ranked 197-pounder, Nick Baumler earned a major decision there.  In Division III, No. 10 North Central saw ranked wrestlers Robbie Precin and Cody Baldridge pick up wins in the Cardinals’ 32-9 win over UW-Oshkosh.  No. 19 Central College smashed Nebraska Wesleyan 45-4. In the loss, Nebraska Wesleyan All-American Eron Haynes scored 23 points - for the second time this year - in a 23-13 major decision win. Haynes has scored over 20 three times this season. St. Olaf put 10 wrestlers on the mat and scored a 45-12 win over NAIA Waldorf on Thursday night. So far, if you’re keeping score, the office of St. Olaf President David Anderson hasn’t even acknowledged receipt of my interview requests as the school announced it would end the sport at the end of the year. Vanguard, an NAIA school in California, won the school’s first dual meet in 39 years as the Lions beat another California NAIA school, Life Pacific 31-19. Vanguard reinstated the wrestling program this season. No report with Central Christian and Neosho.  Southwestern Oregon Community College beat Division III Pacific (Ore.) 16-12. This one isn’t one I’d like to focus on, but this dual featured four double forfeits and two of the regular variety.   On Wednesday, Division II Lander earned its first win in school history, a 41-13 win over NAIA Truett McConnell. Congrats to coach R.C. LaHaye for the win there. Also of note, Johnson & Wales beat the U.S. Coast Guard Academy 17-16 on criteria in a battle of two of the top programs in New England.  Notables on the Docket: NC State is at Appalachian State, while Lock Haven hosts Navy at Red Lion High School in Pennsylvania. That’s all there is in D1. In D2, St. Cloud State is at Northern State, and Alderson Broaddus is at West Virginia Tech, which is in the NAIA. Small schedule in D3 as well as Augsburg hosts Division II Southwest Minnesota State, Wartburg is at Cornell College and UW-Stevens Point is at UW-Eau Claire. A load of duals in the NAIA in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Schools involved are Bluefield, Central Baptist, Reinhardt, Life, Lyon, Jamestown (N.D.), Campbellsville, Cumberland University, Keiser and Southwest Virginia of the NJCAA.  FROM THE DWN: Menlo remains No. 1in the recent NAIA women’s rankings, released on Thursday. The Oaks lead Jamestown, Campbellsville and Life in the top five.  The Daily Princetonian, the student newspaper at Princeton University, features the lone woman on the Princeton Tiger wrestling team, Demetra Yancopolous. Molly Duffy of The Gazette in Cedar Rapids identifies what exactly the issue is in Iowa with sanctioning girls wrestling. It’s a pretty solid read. And yes, there’s a lot of wrestling in the news because of this.   Tom Housenick of the Allentown (Pa.) Morning Call features the Lehigh Valley wrestling scene and the importance of upcoming super tournaments like the Ironman and Beast of the East and how they relate to postseason success in the rugged state of Pennsylvania. Northwestern added two-time All-American Emery Parker to its coaching staff on Thursday. Parker was a three-time NCAA qualifier and was one of the nations leaders in having his first name spelled incorrectly.  Communications offices at Lehigh and Ohio State did some solid work as Lehigh featured All-American Jordan Kutler, while Ohio State featured All-American Luke Pletcher in features on their respective dot-coms.  FivePointMove talks about the underrated bracket at 57kg and also has an interview with Xavier Johnson. Go Greco. Hofstra’s Jim Sheehan retires.   On The Network My 35th podcast, State of Wrestling, launched. It’s the 33rd show released on the Mat Talk Podcast Network. This show is an organizational one for the National Wrestling Coaches Association. The first guest is naturally Mike Moyer, the Executive Director of the NWCA.  Speaking of Luke Pletcher, he joins Rob Waltko and Tristan Warner on PA Power Wrestling’s College Podcast.

Pat Timm spent 15 years as the head coach at Division II Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota. When Timm decided it was time to step down, he wanted to make sure he was going to leave the program in good hands and help the search for a new head coach. Then the administration decided to nix that idea, announcing just days after the close of the Division II wrestling season and two weeks after Timm's resignation was handed in, the program was going to be suspended for two years as the school was going to analyze the long-term viability of the program. On Episode 155 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, I'll talk to Timm about what all that means and how he's now been thrust back into the role of trying to save the program. Information on how to contribute and save the program can be found at DakotaGrappler.com and on the Save Northern State University Wrestling facebook page.

The U.S. Open is set for May 7-9 in Las Vegas and like clockwork, there's some new rules we have to get acquainted with. U.S. Wrestling Officials Association President Rick Tucci becomes the first guest to make multiple appearances on the Short Time Wrestling Podcast as Tucci will explain the new Greco-Roman rules passed on April 30 by United World Wrestling. This interview was initially conducted prior to that announcement and much of the discussion centers around how USA Wrestling was to implement the rules at the University level and below because United World Wrestling wasn't going to implement them with the Senior level athletes until a later time. Then that changed. We made sense (in some ways) of all of it and Tucci will tell us his thoughts and the rationale behind the changes on Episode 163 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast.

Emma Randall didn't really know what sport she wanted to play coming out of high school. From a small town in Ohio, Randall chose Lock Haven and also decided to wrestle for the fledgling women's club team at the small Pennsylvania school. Now Randall has found herself as part of the U.S. National coaching staff with coach Terry Steiner. Randall is the only woman in the country who holds a USA Wrestling Gold Coaching Certification.

Hey wrestling fans, it’s a Short Time wrestling minute giving you a quick breakdown of the happenings on the mats from November 15, 2017. I’m Jason Bryant and I like the movie Better off Dead. This was the format that originally started Short Time, but now I’m bringing it back. Maybe not every single day, but each morning when I can, I’m going to rock out some notable things you should be paying attention to in college wrestling. Or just wrestling in general. First, we start with the Ladies as second-ranked Campbellsville saw its senior night be a success as the Tigers knocked off the University of the Cumberlands 31-12. The Tigers are now 10-0 on the season. A few notables in Division III, first in a Keystone State battle, Elizabethtown upended #14 York College of Pennsylvania 22-19. The match came down to heavyweight where Erik Ekstein’s takedown with 19 seconds to go broke a 1-1 tie and gave him and the E-Town Blue Jays the win. A big E-Town victory came at 149 pounds where Joe Ghione topped All-American Gregory Warner 7-4. Also in Division III, Joe Norton’s North Central Cardinals knocked off #18 Augustana College 24-15, spoiling the debut of new Vikings head coach Tony Willaert. Also, this is the Augustana in Illinois. The one in South Dakota is now Augustana UNIVERSITY. They both … are still the Vikings. A pair of top-ranked teams also cruised. Keeping it in Division III, Warburg won its 198th Iowa Conference Dual in a row in beating the Storm of Simpson 38-10. McKendree, #1 in Division II, pounded NAIA Missouri Baptist 42-6. And speaking of the NAIA, Grand View is ranked #1 for the 40th straight week. Yes, 4-0. Penn State Behrend, a brand new Division III program in Erie, dropped its opener 23-21 to Thiel College on Wednesday. And the annual outdoor dual between Division II Belmont Abbey and NAIA St. Andrews went the way of Belmont Abbey 33-12 on Wednesday afternoon. The Crusaders won seven out of 10 to cruise … get it … to the win.

Episode 194 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast talks with two-time All-American and ohio native David Habat, the 2015 NCAA Division I runner-up at 149 pounds for Edinboro. Before we get rolling with the Edinboro graduate, United World Wrestling is looking for a media assistant at the World Championships in Las Vegas. You can send a resume and short introduction letter to Tim Foley at press@unitedworldwrestling.org to inquire about the position. Travel, room and stipend are all covered. Yeah, that's kind of a big deal. Back to Habat, who initially chose Edinboro because he remembered watching Gregor Gillespie defeat Dustin Schlatter at the NCAA Championships back when they were in Auburn Hills. Habat also recently moved to the Cliff Keen Wrestling Club in Ann Arbor, Mich., and will be wrestling for Slovenia at the upcoming World Championships in Las Vegas. Yes, SLOVENIA. Find out how deep Habat's Slovenian roots are and how well he can speak the language as we have a highly-entertaining chat with Habat ... and it's pronounced like habit. Almanac Time!

Of all of the stories you've heard about Ray Brinzer over the years, have you ever wondered which ones were real and which ones have morphed into urban legends? On Episode 267 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll talk with Brinzer and get the real deal on some of those stories that have sometimes taken on a life of their own. A native of Western Pennsylvania, Brinzer was part of those monster North Allegheny teams in the late 80's that battled the nation's best. He spent time at Oklahoma State before landing in Iowa. His unique style, skill set and method of thinking has made Ray one of the most interesting characters in a sport filled with interesting characters. Ray talks about some of those stories, including the widely-talked about Metallica incident and his foundations with the late Ty Moore and the Angry Fish Wrestling Club, which had an impact on wrestling the past decade and a half. Why will an Angry Fish bite you? Find out. The Short Time Time Wrestling Podcast is proudly sponsored by Flipswrestling. Share your attitude and #BEHEARD at Flipswrestling.com.

Wrestling brings us some great stories and often times those stories get overlooked by the bigger schools and bigger programs. In Division III this year, there as an incredible story of the bonds that wrestling brings. It was between RIT's Brad Mayville and Messiah's Chris Williamson. This story is being told by RIT assistant coach Jason Bovenzi, who himself was a three-time Division III All-American and two-time champion.

Short Time Wrestling Podcast: Episode 670 - July 17, 2021

Fantasy football sucks the life out of me. It really does. This is Short Time Shots for Sunday, November 19, 2017 and let’s just say, I’m having more success starting guys like Case Keenum than I am “fantasy studs.” I’m also recording these in one take. If I flub, I flub. Who am I? Hall of Fame announcer Jason Bryant, that’s who! Very limited schedule across the country on this, the Sunday before Thanksgiving here in the United States, but the five Division I duals we saw all involved ranked teams. The question is, where do we start? We had two top 10 duals … ah, let’s start with the upset. And by upset, we mean No. 10 Lehigh pasting No. 4 Michigan at Grace Hall in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania 27-8. On paper, people believed this Michigan team could make a run at the NCAA title. I even mentioned to Richard Immel on Bonus Points on Friday that Michigan could take some dual losses and still come out as a threat. On Sunday, Lehigh wasn’t impressed by the credentials, the hype or the ranking as Pat Santoro’s 10th-ranked Mountain Hawks scored sizable wins from Ian Brown at 157, Jordan Kutler at 174 and Ryan “The Preisch is Right” at 184. At this rate, it’s doubtful anyone’s going to drop a weight, especially Preisch, who topped Domenic Abounader 3-1 at 184 and Kutler, who topped All-American Alec Pantaleo at 157. Scotty Parker using that RP Norley Pennridge strength registered another fall, although it was over Michigan backup Michael Volyanyuk. In Stillwater, we were expecting a tight dual with third-ranked Oklahoma State and sixth-ranked Minnesota. A bunch of matches were tight, but the dual score wasn’t. The Cowboys gave coach John Smith his 400th career dual victory with a 30-3 beatdown of the Golden Gophers. The Cowboys won five matches decided by two points or less. Minnesota’s lone bright spot came at 125 where returning NCAA finalist Ethan Lizak rallied to beat Nick Piccininni 10-9. Piccininni built an 8-1 lead at the end of the first period before Lizak chose top and scored six nearfall points in two different sequences. In the third, Piccininni chose neutral and gave up the go-ahead takedown. A riding time point would be the final difference maker. The rest of the dual -- uffda. Kaid Brock scored four takedowns to beat Mitch McKee 9-7 in a bout that wasn’t as close as the score indicated. Dean Heil needed a third-period takedown to do Dean Heil types of things and beat Tommy Thorn 3-1. No. 9 Virginia Tech looked strong to quite strong in a maroon battle against Central Michigan. The Hokies won eight out of 10 and too both head-to-head ranked matchups to earn the win in Cassell Coliseum. At 149, Solomon Chishko topped Justin Oliver 3-1 in a matchup of past All-Americans while Zack Zavatsky topped Jordan Ellingwood 7-4 at 184. For the second straight time, B.C. “The Headache Powder” LaPrade makes the show. He upset Collin Heffernan 3-1 in sudden victory. Being a Poquoson grad, I can’t give the New Kent guy TOO much pub. Arizona State took center stage, LITERALLY, as the Sun Devils hosted a theater-style dual against No. 25 Pittsburgh. The end result was more tragedy for the Panthers than it was comedy as the Sun Devils won eight of 10 bouts to cruise to a 32-6 win. Coach Zeke “My real name is Larry” Jones saw his team win both of the notable matches as Josh Shields beat Taleb Rahmani at 157 and Tanner Hall beat Ryan Solomon in one of those thrilling escape-riding time 2-0 wins. No. 13 Northern Iowa rebounded from Friday’s loss to win its first Big 12 dual with a 21-19 win over North Dakota State in Cedar Falls. At 141, Josh Alber scored the match-winning individual victory with a technical fall in the final match of the dual. Penn State crowned seven champs at the Keystone Classic at The Palestra hosted by Penn (singular). Zain Retherford won his 100th career bout during the course of the event, while Jason Nolf pinned his way through at 157 pounds. Bo Nickal scored three falls and a tech en route to the title at 184. Other Penn State champs were Jered Cortez at 141, Anthony Cassar at 197, Nick Nevills at heavyweight and Mark Hall at 174, who went fall, fall, tech tech, fall. Kinda like that whole duck-duck-grey duck thing they do out here. I still think it’s duck-duck-goose. Cornell won the New York State Intercollegiate championships, there wasn’t a whole lot of comp to challenge the Big Red this year. Lock Haven won four titles at the Black Knight Invitational at Army West Point -- yes, you kind of have to say the whole “Army West Point” thing now. Something about branding. The Bald Eagles got golds form Kyle Shoop-Shoop-ay-Doop, Chance Marsteller and a pair of Solanco Mules -- Ronnie Perry and Thomas Haines. Lancaster-Lebanon League representing the 717 there. NC State won five titles at the Wolfpack open. Yup. They hosted. Wisconsin won five titles out west at the Roadrunner Open hosted by CSU Bakersfield. Top win there was probably Ricky Robertson’s 3-1 overtime win over Emery Parker of Illinois. In Division III, John Carroll swept the John Carroll duals, earning wins over Case Western Reserve, Penn State Behrend, Lycoming, Alfred State and Lourdes. Gettysburg won three matches at the Green Terror Duals in Westminster, Maryland. Yes, the Green Terror is the nickname of McDaniel College, formerly known as Western Maryland. Coach Andy Vogel’s Bullets topped Division II Alderson-Broaddus 30-14, Penn State-Mont Alto 57-0 and Scranton 27-15. Gettysburg 133-pounder Louie Carusillo picked up the Dundie Award for fastest fall in the dual against Scranton.

The only one I stuck with was the Berlin Walleye. I’m actually losing to a bunch of other podcast nerds in one league. I’m like 0-10. But I’m in the running in my league with a bunch of former colleagues from the paper, some of whom are NFL beatwriters. Podcasters know more about fantasy football than sportswriters. That’s today’s lesson. The Short Time Time Wrestling Podcast is proudly supported by Compound Clothing. And if you haven't already, leave a rating and a review on iTunes.

Growing up on Long Island, Quint Kessenich played a bunch of sports, but he was most successful in wrestling and lacrosse. When the time came to go to college in the late 1980s, he went where he felt he was best - tending goal for national powerhouse Johns Hopkins and its storied lacrosse program. Years later, Kessenich would reconnect with wrestling and serve as a commentator and sideline reporter for ESPN, covering a number of NCAA wrestling championships as well as calling the action for events on the ESPN family of networks. On Episode 603 of Short Time, Kessenich talks about his origins in wrestling and in broadcasting, what it’s like to be in the moment on the sidelines, how he deals with criticism and some of his best moments he’s been able to witness.

R.J. Mitte’s breakout role as an actor came with his portrayal of Walter White Jr. in the hit series Breaking Bad. Mitte’s still been working as an actor and now the sport of wrestling has come to his front door in the new film Triumph, which gets released to 200 theaters nationwide on April 30.

On Episode 656 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Mitte talks about the role of Mike, a wrestler with cerebral palsy who's inspired by the real-life experiences of Michael Coffey. Mitte will discuss his affinity for sports, what he learned about wrestling and what he hopes people get out of the film. 
Wrestling Podcast: Episode 656 - April 26, 2021

Idaho’s Brock Zollinger is one of the nation’s top international wrestling officials, but his career in Fargo isn’t just about blowing the whistle or confirming calls, he won the 2001 Junior Greco-Roman national title at 105.5 pounds. Brock talks about reffing and wrestling on the raised platform and the similarities between the two.

Something a little different in the Rocky Mountain high … and no, that isn’t a pun about the state of Colorado’s laws about a said controlled substance. No lying in the weeds here, this is Short Time Shots, a somewhat daily look at the happenings in college wrestling - I’m your host 11-time award winning wrestling broadcaster and journalist Jason Bryant, and I’m not just blowing smoke. Speaking of things that make you bleary-eyed, I go to both Target and Menards today to get lawn bags. You know, the big paper bags that are biodegradable so you can put in your leaves and such. Yeah, both places completely out. What kind of bizarro world is this. Did the delivery driver camp out in Boulder a little too long? Totally left us all high and dry … yes, dad jokes. In Denver, the 53rd edition of the NWCA All-Star Classic came and went with a split format featuring five men’s matches and five women’s matches. On the men’s side, Joey McKenna of Ohio State topped Kaid Brock of Oklahoma State in what was an exciting match until McKenna picked up four nearfall points in the second period to break open a tight bout. The night’s most exciting men’s bout came at what’s typically the most sluggish weight as Oklahoma State’s Derek White topped Maryland’s Youssif Hemida 7-5 in sudden victory. These two guys were scrapping like little guys out there. Nebraska’s Taylor Venz upended Cornell’s Max Dean in another solid bout at 184 pounds. Venz picked up late points to ice a 10-5 win. Myles Amine of Michigan hammered Jacobe Smith of Oklahoma State to the tune of a 10-2 major decision. In the night’s finale, top-ranked Matthew Kolodzik of Princeton became the first Tiger wrestler to win a bout at the All-Star Classic in school history with an 11-7 win over Mitch Finesilver of Duke. Finesilver grew up not far from the arena in suburban Denver. As far as history goes, Princeton wrestlers were 0-5 coming in all-time, including Kolodzik’s loss last year. On the women’s side, Simon Fraser’s Dom Parrish and Emmanuel’s Abby Nette and Maria Vidales were dominant with their victories, each earning technical superiority wins. Parrish opened the day beating Gabriela Ramos-Diaz of Wayland Baptist 10-0 at 123, while Nette beat Erika Mihalca 10-0 at 130. Vidales reversed last year’s outcome by earning a 12-0 technical fall over Campbellsville’s Charlotte Fowler at 109. Fowl er had defeated Vidales 14-3 at last year’s All-Star Classic in Princeton. At 170, Brittany Marshall of Wayland Baptist topped Mariah Harris 3-1 with a takedown with 48 seconds remaining in a rematch of last year’s WCWA championship final in almost the same fashion. In the one match that saw a late comeback, Alexis Porter of McKendree scored six points in the final period to rally past King’s Nicole Joseph 6-3. On the Division I mats Friday evening, Matt Voss’ technical fall at 285 pounds rallied George Mason past VMI 20-17. Even in defeat, keep an eye on VMI’s Neal Richards. He’s up at 174 pounds this year and picked up an impressive technical fall over Mason’s Colston DiBlasi. Clarion trounced Gardner-Webb 42-9 up in PA. Brock Zacherl, ranked by most everyone in the top 10 for Clarion at 149 pounds earned a 13-3 major decision, while Gardner-Webb’s nationally ranked Tyler Marinelli got past Mike Bartolo 5-3 at 157 pounds. Clarion ended the bout with two falls and a tech to close things out. Division II Ashland went 4-0 on the day, including a 21-14 win over Division I Kent State. The Eagles - that’s Ashland for those wondering - beat Kent State’s branch campus, NAIA Lindsey Wilson and Division III Otterbein. So the Division II school gets wins over a D1, a D3 an NAIA and an NCWA program in the same quad. That does not happen very often. Also in that “quad” if that’s what you want to call it, the Jeff Breese era at Lake Erie began as the Storm earned victories over Division III Otterbein, NAIA Lindsey Wilson and Cowley Community College, which made the trip from Kansas. NAIA Lindenwood-Belleville trampled Division III MacMurray 47-3 on the men’s side of things, but MacMurray would get a 25-18 win over the Lynx in the women’s dual. Out west, Providence - no, the one in Montana - beat North Idaho 37-7 and Southern Oregon beat Southwestern Oregon 27-20 in duals that saw NAIA schools beat NJCAA programs. In the NJCAA, Muskegon got a pair of wins, beating Niagara and Triton, while the California Community Colleges actually had their scores reported the same night! Yes! Score. Anyway, Santa Rosa came away with a pair of wins in a double dual - The Bear Cubs - yes, seriously, the Bear Cubs beat Sierra and East Los Angeles in dual action. That’s the fall league in California folks.

Undoubtedly one of the most-talked about stories from the 2018 NCAA Division I Championships was the run to third place by Kent State's Kyle Conel. On Episode 422 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll talk with Conel about his run through the tournament, avenging losses along the way and why he stepped away from wrestling last year. Conel is also an avid gamer and aspires to be a video game designer and developer. We jump into the weeds about playing video games, the desire to do that for a living and why his life choices ultimately made Kent State the perfect place for him, wrestling or not.

B. David Ridpath has been focusing on the world of Sports Management for quite a while. A former wrestling coach, athletics administrator, University administrator and professor, he’s got the experience like few in the field. On Episode 609 of Short Time, Dr. Ridpath will talk about some of the things that need to be blown up and fixed in college sports. There’s a discussion on why schools should be able to move to divisions that are in line with their vision so they can support broad-based models as well as how ODU’s decision to cut wrestling will ultimately cost them money rather than save it.   If you'd like to SUPPORT THE SHOW and all the on-demand audio offerings, free newsletters and historical research AND you want to get some of that cool Compound gear, you can support this program by making a small monthly contribution to the network by following this link.   SUBSCRIBE TO ROKFIN, HELP THE NETWORK Subscribe to Rokfin, a content-creator driven news outlet with exclusive and dynamic content and know your subscription revenue goes to help the independent content creators, like Mat Talk Online.

Frank Popolizio has made a change.

It's going to be some serious competition on November 15 at Hudson Valley Community College and Popolizio talks about this event and the idea behind it and the idea behind moving the date from after Thanksgiving to before it.

The first weekend of major college wrestling came and went, so now that you’ve given up on your college football team for the season, because you know the College Football Playoff is going to put at least one team in there that didn’t earn it, this is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores and more that went on today in the world of wrestling, I’m award winning yadda yadda yadda Jason Bryant. In Duals: Limited schedule, so we’ll lead off with the only Division I dual on the docket, which saw North Dakota State beat visiting CSU Bakersfield 24-9 in Fargo. No confirmation if the winner got to pick where to eat dinner, but I’m sure Roger Kish would make his former coworker Manny Rivera eat somewhere nice, not like super fried Turf fare. There wasn’t a super individual match of note, but NDSU’s Cam Sykora picked up a technical fall at 133 pounds over Chance Rich. NDSU improved to 1-0, while the Roadrunners (meep! meep!) fell to 0-2. Reinhardt, ranked second in the NAIA, shutout Division II Emmanuel 45-0. The Eagles scored five falls, with two-time All-American Antonio Stewart earning a fall at 2:15, while fellow All-American Michael Carew registered one at 2:04. Central Oklahoma, ranked No. 13 in Division II, won nine out of 10 bouts on Sunday to beat Drury 41-3. The Bronchos, yes, with an H, kinda like Sctanley, with a C, picked up seven bonus victories on the day. In more mixed duals, Division II Coker opened up its season with a 30-11 win over Division III Averett, which starts its first season under new head coach Blake Roulo. In the NJCAA, Iowa Western, the Reivers, which means something like River Pirate or pissed off chicken, shut out Otero 49-0 and Colby 46-6 to start off the season. Just kidding about that chicken thing, but a the Reiver has a long and colorful history. Well, that’s what the first few words of the Iowa Western website say about it. In Tournaments: Southeast Open: Nothing crazy earth-shattering at the Southeast Open at the Bergland Center in Roanoke, the best sports venue in the Salem-Roanoke area. I remember when Campbell was so bad. Like, losing to Delaware State bad. Well, those days are long gone – and sadly – so is Del State’s program. But the Camels had four individual champions to lead all teams in the Open Division. Noah Gonser topped Mizzou’s Allan Hart at 133, Josh Heil beat North Carolina’s Zach Sherman 5-4 at 141, Quentin Perez pinned North Carolina’s Kennedy Monday at 165 and a beefed up Andrew Morgan majored Chattanooga’s Matthew Waddell at 184. Missouri, fresh off its loss on Saturday to Virginia Tech had three champs with Brock Mauller winning at 149, Jarrett Jacques at 157 and Connor Flynn at 174. Virginia Tech, North Carolina and West Virginia each had a champ. In the freshman/sophomore division, Ferrum’s Levi Englman picked up the title at 133, not bad for a Division III kid. And guess what, another Poquoson shout out as Mason Fiscella of Appalachian State won the title at 184. His dad Ed wrestled veterans for a long time, and actually gave me my start in sports as I was a press box assistant for the semipro football team, the Peninsula Poseidons back in 1991. Seriously. Princeton Open: Patrick Glory went fall, tech, tech, tech en route to a title at 125 pounds, but there weren’t any results that were super OMG. Notably, high school standout Beau Bartlett entered at 141 and took fourth. Columbia’s Matt Kazmir won the weight, going major, tech, decision, fall. He beat Logan Brown of Army in the finals. Brown beat Bartlett 3-1 in the semifinals. Mike D’Angelo returned to the Princeton lineup after a year off and picked up the forfeit finals win over Matthew Kolodzik, who is taking this year off. At 157, Rider’s Jesse Dellavecchia claimed the title beating Princeton’s Quincy Monday 4-2. Monday beat Lehigh’s Josh Humphreys 11-5 in the semis. Hofstra’s Ricky Stamm with a title at 165. His prize is he gets to borrow some of Dennis Papadatos’ hair product. Finger Lakes had two hammers pick up W’s before they enroll at Cornell next year. Chris Foca won at 174, while Lewis Fernandes won at 285. Fernandes only pinned one guy, far below his high school average. He good. Battle at The Citadel: Stanford, American and ODU went 1-2-3 at the first Battle at The Citadel. There wasn’t a ton of stuff that shakes things up in terms of the rankings, other than ODU’s Killian Cardinale knocking off American’s Gage Curry at 125 pounds and Stanford’s redshirt freshman Real Woods beating ODU’s Sa’Derian Perry 2-1 at 141 pounds. Woods earned an escape and a late stall point to pick up his first official ranked W of his career. He also beat American’s Sal Profaci in the semis, you might remember him from Michigan. American’s Kizhan Clarke had a breakout performance, stopping Stanford’s Requir van der Merwe 11-5 at 149. Presbyterian’s first wrestling since the 1950s took to the mats as Mark Cody’s first year squad had Austin Stith finish third at 197 pounds and Jacob Brausser take fifth at 125. Clarion Open: Brock Zacherl returned to wrestling and claimed top honors at 149 pounds. He didn’t navigate the most brutal field, but he’s one of the Golden Eagles top hopes for the program’s first All-American since James Fleming in 2013. Clarion’s Greg Bulsak will now have people following his progress after beating highly touted freshman Michael Beard, wrestling unattached from Penn State, 11-8 in the finals. Last year, Beard beat Bulsak 13-9 in the finals as he was deferring enrollment. Late Saturday: Southern Maine won a pair of duals, beating Plymouth State 36-9 and Rhode Island College 29-9. Also in Division III, Olivet beat Manchester 40-10. From the Newsletter – I want to call this placing top six, but you know what, we have enough wrestling puns and podcast-type goofiness. By the way, I also want listeners and readers to know that only free stories are posted in the Daily Wrestling Newsletter. If something’s paywalled, it won’t be here, that goes for our subscription wrestling sites as well as our daily newspapers. I do recommend turning off your ad-blocker when prompted on these wrestling stories and on wrestling-friendly sites you frequent. Nick Corey offers up another one of his Corey’s Stories on com discussing the intrigue the Olympic redshirting situation around the country brings to college wrestling this season. Also, while not in the newsletter, it should be noted that Willie Saylor has posted via Twitter he’s left Flowrestling. His handle changed to WillieAtWillie, which one fan pointed out looks like Will, Eat Willie. Worthlessly stupid Facebook groups were set ablaze by the news. Some people have too much time on their hands. Say what you want about Willie, he got you talking. Both USA Wrestling and Five Point Move have information regarding the three medals won in Sweden. From United World Wrestling, a feature on Egypt’s Mohamed El Sayed, who won the U23 World Championship in Greco-Roman, which was his second world title in as many weeks. He won the World Military Games title a bit ago. I like to draw attention to new programs around the country and one of the newest, Central Methodist, an NAIA school in Fayette, Missouri, got off to the races with its wrestling program by hosting an open. Right off the bat, you go and host a tournament. Are you trying to kill your SID? They’re led by three-time Division II All-American Terrell Wilbourn. Jim Nelson of the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier writes a pretty solid preview of the Upper Iowa wrestling team. It should be solid, Nelley’s one of the best in the biz. Keeping things in Iowa, where the local press has always done the sport better than most places, Steve Batterson of the Quad-City Times features Iowa’s Spencer Lee and how his preseason schedule working football games goes unnoticed, but his international schedule this college season will not. Unrelated: One of the bars I routinely did karaoke at in college was named Batterson’s. The owner charged people for tap water on 50-cent taco night. I trust Steve wouldn’t do such a thing.

How did wrestling change your life? That’s exactly the question Ryan Warner wants to know and that’s exactly the theme of his podcast, Wrestling Changed My Life. Warner, an Illinois native, started up the podcast a couple years ago and has been prolific with his interviews and his conversational style of podcast. Digging into greats, documentary series on his own and with the National Wrestling Hall of Fame, Wrestling Changed My Life has been a fan favorite and it’s only getting better.

LEADING OFF
There is wrestling. This is more than likely a test of how much of a wrestling fan you’re going to make yourself. There is limited action around the country, but the men and women in the NAIA are competing. The NAIA released its first Women’s Coaches Poll of the season on Monday and Wayland Baptist comes in No. 1, ahead of Campbellsville, Grand View, Menlo and Life. Wayland just recently lost its head coach as Aaron Meister left to go back to his native Kansas to start the men’s and women’s program at Friends University in Wichita. 

Speaking of Life, coach Ashley Sword’s team was in action over the weekend and topped Indiana Tech and the University of the Cumberlands. Indiana Tech was wrestling its first ever women’s dual matches in school history. Life won 39-5 while the University of the Cumberlands edged Indiana tech 25-23. 

Life beat Brewton-Parker 42-4 on Monday night as well. 

On the men’s side of things, third-ranked Reinhardt opened up 2-0 after a trip to Florida, beating Keiser 55-0 and fifth-ranked Southeastern 24-19. Southeastern beat Keiser 49-6.

Coleman Bryant of Southeastern knocked off Cole Tenety 3-1 in sudden victory at 174 pounds in a matchup of returning All-Americans. Former Indiana Hooser Blake Rypel has resurfaced on the college mats, he’s at Southeastern. He won his debut by fall at 184 for the Fire. Reinhardt did pick up powerful bonus victories from returning All-Americans Trent Leon, Nolan Saxton and Antonio Stewart to power coach Jeff Bedard’s Eagles.

In other action on Monday, Brewton-Parker College beat Central Baptist (Ark.) 53-3, while St. Andrews beat the Central Baptist 42-15. No official score from St. Andrews and Brewton-Parker, but I’m told it was 43-9 in favor of Brewton-Parker. Not the first time I’ve had to chase down the opposing team looking for a score from a wrestling event held at BPC, but I digress.

Here’s what went down since the last time I gave a scoreboard update:
Jamestown (N.D.) beat Northwestern (Iowa) 24-22. 
Arizona Christian beat Hastings 28-15
No. 7 Indiana Tech beat Thomas More 26-21
No. 4 Lindsey Wilson got a pair of big W’s, shutting out Missouri Baptist 55-0 and beating Williams Baptist 46-3. Williams Baptist beat Missouri Baptist 42-12 in the other dual there.

Earlier in the week, Benedictine (Kan.) beat Central Methodist 27-18, while Ottawa (Kan.) beat Oklahoma Wesleyan 43-12.

New coaching alert in Division II where Ohio State alum Colt Sponseller is now the new head coach at Ashland University in Ashland, Ohio. Josh Hutchens stepped down back in September. … while NCAA qualifier Michael Blockhus will land at Minnesota after announcing he was leaving Northern Iowa a few days ago.

Elmo from Vision Quest once said, it ain't the six minutes, it's what happens in that six minutes. So with that in mind, here comes the most cram-packed six minutes of wrestling news, although, I typically don't care about how long or short this show is, this is Short Time Shots, a look back at the day's wrestling scores and more. I'm your host, Jason Bryant and I was too young to be an extra in Vision Quest. So the Vision Quest theme has been a constant this week. On Day 302 and 303 of #WrestlingShirtADay, I rocked shirts from RedBubble.com with Thompson High and Hoover High wrestling teams. Louden Swain, as many of you know, represented Thompson, while Brian Shute was a Hoover guy. Of note, his name was Gary Shute in the book. I still recommend reading the book if you get a chance. It won't ruin it for you, but you wrestling people out there might actually relate to it more so than the Hollywood depiction where sometimes fictionalization is more engaging to a viewer. What isn't fiction is the bit of wrestling history that unfolded on Thursday night in the Southern Conference. Davidson has been one of Division I's doormats pretty much forever. It's rare the Wildcats even win a conference dual, and most of the time when they did, it was against VMI or Campbell. But with Campbell improving, that's likely a thing of the past. One thing the Wildcats program had NEVER done -- beat The Citadel -- that is, until Thursday night when Davidson ended a 54-match winless streak against the Bulldogs in a 25-15 win, the first SoCon win of the season for Andy Lausier's squad. Davidson's wrestling program started in 1920 and the earliest results we can find were from the 1962 season. I'm not saying this to kick The Citadel when they're down, it has been a rough year in Charleston, but Davidson doesn't win duals like this -- until now. Wins at 125 and 141 helped Davidson pull away late with Michael McClelland's first career victory, a tech fall at 125, and Dustin Runzo picking up the W at 141 to close things out. McClelland was 0-16 on the season coming into the dual. Also down tobacco road, Duke used technical falls in the last two matches of the dual to get past Appalachian State 25-17. Technical falls by Mitch Finesilver and 157 and Zach Finesilver at 165 gave the Blue Devils the win. Harvard beat Brown 21-12 in what was dubbed the downtown showdown in downtown Providence. The other half of that showdown saw Division III's fourth-ranked team, Johnson & Wales, beat in-state rival Roger Williams 28-12. Lonnie Morris and the crew with great promotion there. Keeping it in Division III for a bit, No. 18 Centenary beat Delaware Valley 33-14 and Centenary head coach John Garriques earned his 100th career victory as the Cyclones head coach. He's done a fine job there in Hackettstown, New Jersey. In a battle of two of our nation's smaller service academies, a win by Victor Raigoza at heavyweight was enough to give the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy a 19-16 upset victory over No. 22 Coast Guard on Thursday. The Mariners, YES, MARINERS, trailed 16-10 before Raigoza's winning decision was set up by Blake Bunce's fall at 197 pounds. Late heroics were also needed as No. 24 Central College survived a scare in the Iowa Conference from Simpson. The Dutch, yes, Dutch, trust me on this one, got the match-winner from top-ranked 125-pounder C.J. Pestano. The All-American earned a technical fall in the dual's final bout to close things out. Another notable from Division III was No. 12 North Central won the CCIW - that's the Collegiate Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin - championship on Thursday, outdistancing second-place Millikin 125.5-114.5. The Cardinals won two individual titles and had four runners-up. Heading back over to Division II, No. 1 St. Cloud State remained unbeaten, improving to 18-0 and winning the program's 27th straight dual. The Huskies wrap up their Northern Sun schedule on February 15 against Augustana -- the one in South Dakota. And file this under things that can only happen in college sports - Indiana Tech beat Lourdes University of Ohio 30-15 in the NAIA. This was a conference dual. Not super strange since the schools are two hours apart. The thing is, they're both affiliate members of the SOONER Athletic Conference. Like Oklahoma. To get from Lourdes to conference foe Wayland Baptist down in Plainview, Texas? Nearly 1,300 miles. I should be used to it with my alma mater in the same conference as UTEP, which is 2,000 miles away from Norfolk. You'll need a couple hundred episodes of Short Time Shots to make that drive.

Episode 270 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast visits with the new head wrestling coach at CSU Bakersfield, Manny Rivera. After an All-American career at the University of Minnesota, Rivera spent time at the University of Virginia and North Dakota State before taking the reigns of the Roadrunner program in his native California. Rivera first broke on to the national scene as a senior in high school, winning the 2003 NHSCA Senior Nationals. He was only third in the state of California his senior year, but avenged a semifinal loss to Gabe Flores and beat eventual teammate Mack Reiter along the way. Rivera talks about adapting to college wrestling, evolving as a coach and why he's ready to lead the Roadrunner program. He also gives his thoughts on what he's learned from friend and former teammate Roger Kish at North Dakota State, Steve Garland at U.Va., and of course, J Robinson. Rivera also throws a few comments about coach Robinson in the current situation as well. The Short Time Time Wrestling Podcast is proudly sponsored by Flipswrestling.

There's always a lot of discussion when it comes to the future and plan for the NWCA National Duals. On Episode 145 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, NWCA Executive Director Mike Moyer answers questions related to this year's Finals Weekend at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City and the future of the event. The first-round bouts held on Feb. 14-15 determined the eight teams that qualified for Finals Weekend. Moyer talks about why it was a "regional" site and how travel worked out for some teams and how the National Duals has been tweaking its concept in the past few years.

Grant Leeth is one of the oldest athletes in Division I wrestling.

Leeth joins Short Time to talk about his career and some of the things he’s balancing with wanting more eligibility, even though he’s entering his seventh year of competition. He’s had more appendages injured than … well, most everyone.

Jake Residori wants you to know he wasn't overlooked, rather he chose SIU Edwardsville on his own accord. On Episode 322 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll talk with the Shorewood, Illinois, native about his All-American finish at the 2017 NCAA Division I Championships. SIU Edwardsville moved to Division I in 2007, but its wrestling team wouldn't be postseason eligible until 2013. Residori became the school's first Division I All-American since Tim Wright finished third in 1987 as a Division II qualifier to the tournament. Residori has the unique distinction in becoming the first wrestling All-American since the school has been a full member of Division I. Residori will explain the recruiting process under former coach David Ray, the transition to coach Jeremy Spates, the dynamic of assistant coaches Eric Grajales and Rossi Bruno and how exactly he set up the move of his life to earn All-American honors.

Casey Moss was best known as J.J. Deveraux on the long-running daytime drama Days of Our Lives. As Moss was toward the end of his run on the show, he earned the role of Scott Baker in the recently released wrestling-themed drama The Last Champion. On Episode 639 of Short Time, Moss talks about his role as Baker in the movie, what it was like to gain the role, his background wrestling growing up in Arizona before we go way off the original topic and talk about his band, Inner Echo, and our favorite concerts of all time. Moss is an intriguing figure who we will hear more from in the years ahead in both music and wrestling.   SHORT TIME SHOTS (it’s the scores and such, people) On the Grand View watch, the Vikings extended their win streak to 96 in a row with a 31-6 win over Morningside on Thursday. The NAIA also picked up a notable victory since the last time we met as Southeastern (Fla.)  upended The Citadel from Division I 22-14 in Charleston. Key wins registered by Coleman Bryant (no relation), Indiana transfer Blake Rypel and 197-pounder Trillyon Fils-Aim sealed the deal for the Fire! It was the first win over a Division I program in the short history of SEU wrestling. It’s just the second win over a D1 school in ANY sport, the other was a women’s volleyball win over Bethune-Cookman in 2013, that according to SEU SID Donnie Smith. The NWCA released the Preseason Division II Top 25 and to no one’s surprise, returning champion St. Cloud State sits atop the rankings, which uses tournament points, and I hate tournament points, but that’s none of my business. Nebraska-Kearney, Central Oklahoma, Lindenwood and McKendree round out the top five. The NJCAA also recognized women’s wrestling as an emerging sport on Friday, of the current schools that sponsor varsity wrestling, there are four NJCAA schools of the 89 women’s teams - there’s also a few junior colleges in the Northwest Conference that sponsor wrestling as well. Women’s wrestling will be up to 89 total schools when the first whistle blows in the 2021-22 season as Avila, an NAIA school in Kansas City announced it was adding men’s and women’s wrestling over the weekend. That will put the NAIA at 38 women’s teams and 73 men’s teams. Did you know the NAIA had 19 schools at the 2000 NAIA championships? Of those 19, only 11 of them remain in the NAIA. So think about the growth of scholarship-level wresting in the NAIA over the past 20 years. Bunch of news internationally, Bajrang won the Flo 8-Man Challenge, the Russian Federation kicked ass at the International World Cup and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rallied to be the Atlanta Falcons. Finally, Patrick Kelly passed along some sad news that longtime Britt-West Hancock wrestling coach Al DeLeon passed away on December 16. DeLeon was a two-time All-American for Minnesota State in 1961 and 1962 at 130 pounds. In 1962 DeLeon fell in the NCAA finals to Mickey Martin of Oklahoma Sate.   All that news and more … Daily Wrestling News, delivered every day, free.   As always, you can support this network, its shows and its projects at mattalkonline.com/jointheteam or rokfin.com/creator/mattalkonline and I’d like to thank you for spending your time with me, because you’ve always got time, for Short Time!     Support the Show and the Mat Talk Podcast Network Patreon | Rokfin The Short Time Time Wrestling Podcast is proudly supported by Compound Sportswear.

It's not uncommon for the Short Time Wrestling Podcast to head up to Canada and we'll do that again on Episode 282 and chat with Olympic women's freestyle champion Erica Wiebe. A native of Stittsville, Ontario just outside of the nation's capital of Ottawa, Wiebe opted to give wrestling a go in college after discovering the sport in the ninth grade. Even prior to picking the University of Calgary to further her education, Wiebe had her eyes on competing in soccer and heading to the United States to compete on the collegiate pitch. Wiebe, ranked second in the World heading into Rio, explains her back story and the turning points in her career that took her from her previous high placement of seventh at the World Championships to winning an Olympic gold in Rio.

Behind every good man is usually a good woman. In the case of Northern Iowa head coach Doug Schwab, the saying is an understatement. On Episode 509 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll meet Allyson Schwab, wife of the Panther head coach and mother to four children. We'll go into how Allyson and Doug first met, their travels around the globe, the trials and tribulations of being an athlete's wife, then a coaches wife and all the things that go into managing the chaos of life. There's a lot to dive into here and there's plenty about the twins, the basement battles and Doug's affinity for Mountain Dew.

Cierra Foster knows the impact people like Tricia Saunders have had on the sport of wrestling. On Episode 336 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Foster talks about her recent award, the Tricia Saunders High School Excellence Award and the battles she's faced as a girl wrestling in an area mostly devoid of girls wrestling. Foster has a bright future and is a grounded teenager who understands the history of people like Saunders, the powerful moments like the gold won by Helen Maroulis and how her performance might be able to inspire girls in Idaho and around the country.

Steve Saxlund was a three-time NCAA Division II champion at North Dakota State. He's been active in the Fargo community since graduation and is also a partner at a campus-area bar and grill called Herd and Horns, which has become a popular spot for wrestling coaches and fans as the USA Wrestling Cadet and Junior Nationals return to the city each year. Saxlund makes his first appearance on Short Time since 2016 to talk about the area, the quality of folks who live in and around Fargo, the restaurant and what specials may be looming for wrestling fans this coming week as #Fargo2018 will soon be upon us. He also talks about his successful apparel company, 3XGear, which is also based out of Fargo. The Short Time Time Wrestling Podcast is proudly supported by Compound Clothing.

Someone, anyone, please tell me why Party in the U.S.A. is stuck in my head. I don’t own that song, but I believe the reason for this is the fact I live in a house with three females and one of them might actually own one of the NOW music CDs. I actually own NOW, when there wasn’t a volume. NOW, Volume 1, which is not its real name, had some rock on it. It also had some sappy late 90s R&B that I fell out of favor with once I discovered how badass Phil Anselmo and Pantera was. Walk on home, boy. This is Short Time Shots, your mostly daily look at the scores and news from the world of wrestling. I’m Jason Bryant. So far, this will be 14 straight episodes. There likely won’t be one on Friday night, since I’ll be covering the Gopher dual and putting out an episode of The Guillotine Grapevine. Maybe I’ll record it on Saturday morning for you guys as you make the last mow of the season, or in some cases, the first snow shovel of the year worth it.  Dual Meets:  Unranked Illinois, fresh off getting beat by Army West Point last weekend, rebounded with a 19-14 win over border rival and 13th ranked Missouri at Francis Howell High School in St. Louis on Thursday night. Missouri did have the services of All-American Grant Leeth at 141, but were without Dylan Wisman at 184. Illinois had key wins at 125 as Justin Cardani beat Dack Punke and then three in a row from 165-184 to take the lead heading into the dual’s final two weights. Freshman heavyweight Luke Luffman prevailed 9-7 over Rodrigo Diaz to give Illinois the upset. Division II Colorado School of Mines shut down Northeastern Junior College 34-9. Also out in Colorado, Western Colorado beat Chadron State 28-13 in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.  Elmhurst beat the University of Chicago 33-19 as the Bluejays benefited from three Chicago forfeits. Maroons All-Americans Steve Bonsall and Ben Sarasin were both victorious.  A couple of junior colleges picked up wins over Division III foes - Mercyhurst North East topped Pitt-Bradford 31-18, while Joliet Junior College beat MacMurray 36-18. Lincoln, which is in its first year as an NAIA member after transitioning from a two-year school to a four-year one, also beat MacMurray 34-18. In Georgia, Brewton-Parker, with a hyphen, knocked off Truett McConnell, sans hyphen, 38-12.  Nothing reported from CSU-Pueblo and Otero, Central Baptist and Oklahoma Wesleyan or the two duals out west in the California Community Colleges.  Late Wednesday: Neosho County and head coach Nick Nothern knocked off rival Labette 26-16 in Chanute. That’s action in the NJCAA in case you were wondering. The Panthers swept six bouts between 149 and 197 to take the dual.  GET A FREE MONTH OF PODCAST HOSTING WITH LIBSYN There are approximately 63 active wrestling podcasts out there, with 20 of them on the Mat Talk Podcast Network.

Go to www.takedowncancer.org for information or contact Mark Neu at mneu@shakopee.k12.mn.usLet’s TakeDown Cancer! - No one fights alone! Notables on the Docket for November 15: Super solid Friday night for wrestling: No. 3 Ohio State heads to Pittsburgh to take on the No. 15 Panthers, No. 4 Oklahoma State will have its first dual of the season as it heads to Philly to take on Drexel. No. 6 Minnesota hosts Rider at Williams Arena, I’ll be there for that one, as will BDI. No. 8 Arizona State opens its home slate against Division II Augustana (S.D.), No. 9 NC State hosts Old Dominion, which was ranked last week and fell out of the rankings despite not losing. Same thing happened to Wyoming. Binghamton faces South Dakota State in Sioux Falls, Bucknell heads to Northern Illinois, Division II Simon Fraser faces Oregon State in Tahoma, Washington and Rutgers heads to Fresno State where the Bulldogs are trying to break their own attendance record, looking for 10,000 fans in the SaveMart Center.  Notable matches from other divisions include Ithaca traveling to Stevens Institute, Manchester at Wabash, more news on them in a second, Campbellsville and the first-year program at Arizona Christian facing Embry-Riddle - not at same time, that would be unfair and there’s a doubleheader with the men’s and women’s programs with Southern Oregon going to Portland to face Warner Pacific. Tournament-wise, the Roger Williams Invitational kicks off in Bristol, Rhode Island.  FROM THE DWN: Minnesota profiles senior Carson Brolsma with the now overused Q&A segment called Seven Minutes. The Open Mat actually started that, then Trackwrestling adopted it after TOM stopped doing it. And now we have it in Minnesota. It’s like every column in every wrestling magazine being called The Inside Trip - with apologies to Brando and B-Law with The Inside Trip podcast. End snarky note.  The week will continue with posts from the early signing period. Some schools went all out on day one, while others are trickling out their early classes. While not directly linked in this section, Thursday’s releases are in the newsletter.  We’ve got a new No. 1 in Division III wrestling, mainly because the rankings in the early season released by the Division III Coaches Association are on tournament points. Loras, the preseason No. 1, didn’t lose, but slid one spot to No. 2. This is why tournament rankings are absolute crap UNTIL the postseason. Next week’s rankings, as the release says, will be dual strength. I’d have just held off the team rankings this week, since there was plenty of movement in the individual rankings. Oh, that new No. 1, by the way, the Little Giants of Wabash.  Missouri’s sports information office features alum and UFC fighter Tyron Woodley, while Penn State has an in-house feature on Creighton Edsell, an unlikely small town starter who came up with a win in last week’s dual against Navy.  Flowrestling looks at Fresno State’s drive to break its attendance record and eclipse the 10,000-fan mark in their upcoming dual against Rutgers.  The Predicament goes into the Where Are They Now with the Inside the Rivalry series. Well, where are they now and what are they all doing?  Mason Beckman makes a guest appearance with a preview of the Bill Farrell Memorial on the Home Mat Advantage at 74kg.  TheMat.com gives us the full U.S.-centric Bill Farrell preview as well.  Flowrestling borrows Tim Hands of Five Point Move for their extensive Greco-Roman preview, not paywalled.  Patch.com, a collection of like 1,200 hyperlocal news websites, features Penn State wrestling alum Rohan Murphy and his message to inmates at Suffolk County Correctional Facility. Rohan is an amazing dude. Born with no legs, he’s got a great message to share about perseverance.  The Southern Illinoisan, yes, that is the actual name of the newspaper, featured Carbondale Community High School coach Dennis Ragan and his recent induction into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame via the Illinois chapter. If that name and location lead you to connect some dots - la la la la - then you’re right. It’s Alli’s dad.  And the biggest Bud heavy advocate in wrestling, Willie Saylor, drops an interview on his MatScouts Rokfin channel that Blair Academy’s Travis Mastrogiovanni, the No. 4 recruit in the Class of 2021 is heading to Oklahoma State, where his brother Trevor has also committed.  On The Network With a big weekend upcoming, the #PackMentality Pop-Ins Podcast with host Brian Reinhardt talks with NC State head wrestling coach Pat Popolizio, as well as Jakob Camacho, Tariq Wilson and Hayden Hidlay. Thye host ODU on Friday, the Wolfpack Duals on Saturday and the Wolfpack Wrestling Club Open on Sunday.  PA Power’s college podcast is up and out with Iowa’s Michael Kemerer and a recap of the PA-centric college scores from last week while Five Point Move talks with Jon Anderson of the Army’s World Class Athlete Program, who makes his return to competition at this weekend’s Bill Farrell. Also, Dennis Hall had numerous F-bombs edited out of the show. Dennis gets fired up.  You can get to read those stories and more from Mat Talk Online’s daily wrestling newsletter.

Jacob Hewgley is the host of the Mat Geeks podcast. The Mat Geeks media organization is devoted to providing exclusive coverage of ACC wrestling. Hewgley works as a high school math teacher and wrestling coach in North Carolina. Hewgley decided to start Mat Geeks because he felt the ACC was not receiving the attention it deserves from the major wrestling media outlets. All of the Mat Geek's content can be found on the Mat Geeks Rokfin page! Recorded on September 30 for #InternationalPodcastDay   FALLS AREN’T JUST FOR THE BIG GUYS In 1976, Suffolk County’s Joe Davidson became the first lightweight to win the Gorriaran Award at the NJCAA championships. First awarded in 1967, seven of the first 10 winners were at unlimited, while the other two were at 177 pounds before Davidson, the runner-up at 126 pounds, took home the award. He probably would have preferred the title, won that year by Jim Polsinelli of Monroe County.   As always, you can support this network, its shows and its projects at mattalkonline.com/jointheteam or rokfin.com/creator/mattalkonline   Support the Show and the Mat Talk Podcast Network Patreon | Rokfin   Get educated, stay informed Daily Wrestling News, delivered every day, free.

American novelist John Irving has penned 14 books. Two of his most famous are The Cider House Rules and The World According to Garp. In 1996, Irving wrote a memoir called The Imaginary Girlfriend, which outlines much of his wrestling and writing career as well as his foray into coaching and officiating. On Episode 220 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Irving recalls his time growing up wrestling in New England, at the University of Pittsburgh and well after his career in college ended. Irving is currently on tour speaking about his new book Avenue of Mysteries, which is available on Amazon and wherever books are sold. I got an opportunity to sit down and have a conversation with Irving over breakfast to talk about the roles wrestling has played in his life, his inclusion in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame as an Outstanding American and how wrestling makes its way into his writing. It's a great opportunity to hear from one of our great advocates. Leave a voicemail for the show by checking out our contact page.

Monday, the worst day of the week if you’re a college wrestling fan. I believe each year, there are less than 10 total dual meets across all divisions on Mondays. In a sense, wrestling Mondays give you a case of the Mondays, and I do believe you’d get your ass kicked for saying something like that. Pack up your red staplers and burn down the building, this is Short Time Shots, a look at the day’s wrestling scores and more from around the world of wrestling, I’m Jason Bryant. And while I’m getting you reacquainted with the show or if I’m introducing you do it, I’ll typically do these on days where there’s at least 10 duals around the country. One of the podcast newsletters I subscribe to, James Cridland’s Podnews, does a weekday show and they’re about two minutes long. I did Shots long before that show launched, but in days where there isn’t scores, might as well tell you what’s in the newsletter so I can entice you to sign up for it – it’s free – and pitch a plug for this network, since I’d rather strip out the pre-roll ads here if I can get enough support for the program. That’s a hint. And no, the regular Short Time hasn’t gone away, but this was the format the show started with and my enterprise features will be sprinkled in a few times a month. That feed still exists, a Shots-only feed exists, and if you’re a glutton for punishment, the main Mat Talk feed exists and that literally feeds you with in excess of 30 shows a month. So here’s the items you’ll be reading about. From the DWN:   Shannon Scovel from NCAA.com breaks down what we learned from the U23 World Championships and how it will impact this year’s college wrestling season. Shannon’s been writing some solid stuff for NCAA.com the last two years. She was a swimmer at American U. during her college years and is worth reading. In recruiting news from IAwrestle, Colorado state champion Cam Lucero has committed to Iowa. The junior at Pagosa Springs was a state champion at 145 pounds last season. West Virginia will have an unofficial girls state wrestling tournament in February at Parkersburg High School to gauge interest in girls wrestling. The full story via Jessica Wilt at The Journal. Speaking of Parkersburg, congrats to Kyle Bratke and his wife Olivia on the arrival of their first born, Hayden. I’ll send you a Diaper Genie. com profiles several of the state’s native wrestling sons on the roster at North Dakota State University. The Centre Daily Times in State College and Lauren Muthler tells wrestling fans what they should expect from Penn State’s 2019-20 college wrestling season. Baldwin Wallace’s Stanley Bleich was the Ohio Athletic Conference Wrestler of the Week after he won the Ithaca Invitational and was named the tournament’s OW in the process. Paul Santomarco of Lycoming had three falls at the Lycoming Invitational and was named the Middle Atlantic Conference Wrestler of the Week. Not trying to make fun of the young man, but I couldn’t help but think about Three Amigos and the small village of Santo Poco. Just don’t shoot the invisible swordsman. Joining Santomarco with MAC honors was Chase Smith of the first-year program at Alvernia. He too was 3-0 with three falls at the Lycoming Invitational at 174 pounds. Wisconsin native Tres Leon from the University of the Cumberlands was the Mid-South Conference Wrestler of the Week. The All-American went 5-0 and pinned Bluefield’s Creed Lumpp in the finals at 157 pounds. Nolan Saxton of Reinhardt was the Appalachian Athletic Conference Wrestler of the Week after he defeated Division II’s fourth-ranked Kevin Almond of Emmanuel last week. In what used to be the Iowa Conference, Nebraska Wesleyan’s Eron Haynes was the American Rivers Conference Wrestler of the Week after winning the Yellowjacket Open down in Rochester, Minnesota. He was the school’s first All-American when he placed last year in Roanoke. They’re coached by Brandon Bradley, a past Virginia state runner-up from Henrico. Yup, Virginia references, they’re everywhere. Finally, wrestling fan Ted Carreras writes a blog called Hand Raised. He does weekly columns with his thoughts on wrestling. These are reminiscent of things I’ve written for InterMat, Wrestling 411, TheMat and basically any other wrestling job I’ve had the last 20 years. Ted, this is good stuff, so I’m including it in today’s newsletter and Shots.   On The Network: Episode 9 of my groundbreaking, earth-shattering, monumental, award-nominated #ROCKedUp podcast chronicling the foundation and formation of the new wrestling program at Arkansas-Little Rock has dropped. This episode talks with head coach Neil Erisman and U. of the Ozarks head coach LeRoy Gardner about scheduling in year one and how the two schools came together to schedule Little Rock’s first home dual on November 24. All those things I said in the beginning are true. It’s probably the reason I’m spitting out less formulated interview shows and taking a more creative look into the storytelling aspect of wrestling. Seriously. In the Game of Throws fantasy football league, here are the SAFE FOR WORK team scores we can report: The Lorath Bay Buccanneers beat Never Go Full Eli 82-79. Kuhsti Kings beat Straight Cash Homie 76-66, Team Payne beat A Gurley Has No Name 131-91 and Teet Brand Giants Milk beat Game of Jones 108-72. The other two games were not reported due to team names befitting of fantasy football, but not a wrestling podcast. All scores unofficial until Tuesday, which Richard Immel knows all too well.

After a hard day of wrestling, we’ll have to take a big drink of Lakini’s Juice and call it a day. Ohio State won the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational without Joey McKenna and Kyle Snyder. That doesn’t bode well for the rest of the country. This is Short Time Shots with a look back at the wrestling happenings from December 2, 2017. I’ll be your heropsychodreamer and Hall of Fame writer, broadcaster and announcer Jason Bryant. Them Buckeyes earned three titles to outdistance that state down south, aka Michigan, 155.5 to 140. Arizona State was third with 113.5, followed by Northern Iowa, Nebraska and Virginia Tech. Leading the way for the Buckeyes were champions Luke Pletcher at 133, Myles Martin at 184 and Kollin Moore at 197. We’ll dial it back though and go weight-by-weight as freshman Taylor LaMont became the first wrestler from Utah Valley to win the CKLV by beating Sean Russell of Edinboro 4-3 at 125 pounds. LaMont, a member of the Junior World Team in Greco, was the No. 8 seed and after Friday’s win over Ethan Lizak, beat two more All-Americans to cap off a breakthrough event. At 133, Pletcher got past Stevan Micic in the semis before handling American’s Josh Terao 9-2 in the finals. A lot of buzz came out of the tournament from Drexel’s Austin DeSanto, who finished fourth, losing to Virginia’s Jack Mueller twice. The big the true freshman hype, at least for now, should go with a guy who won the tournament, and that’s 141-pound champion Yianni Diakomihalis of Cornell. The New York native knocked off past NCAA finalist Bryce Meredith in the semifinals before topping Northern Iowa’s Josh Alber for the second time this year. Expect a giant jump in the rankings from Yianni D. this week. Not sure if there’s a more underappreciated All-American than Justin Oliver. The Central Michigan junior wrestled exceedingly well en route to the title and a 9-7 win over upstart Troy Heilmann of North Cackalacky. That’s southern for Carolina. Michigan’s Alec Pantaelo got off the proverbial schneid with a resounding 10-3 win over Micah Jordan in the finals at 157 pounds. Jordan had avenged an earlier loss to Josh Shields, while Pantaleo was solid in his semi win over Nebraska’s Tyler Berger. David Freaking McFadden is nasty good. The Virginia Tech All-American packed upstart freshman Evan Wick in 2:58 to claim the Hokies only individual title in Vegas. Wick reached the finals as the No. 9 seed. Arizona State’s Zahid Valencia notched his second win of the year over Ohio State’s Bo Jordan. This time, the Sun Devil sophomore took home a 9-6 win after a 9-6 win in the semis over the rugged Taylor Lujan of Northern Iowa. Tis Valencia’s second straight championship at the event. Myles Martin scored three takedowns and only gave up escapes and a penalty point in an 8-5 victory over Michigan’s Domenic Abonader in a match that wasn’t as close as the score indicated. Kollin Moore shook off Friday’s bugaboos and regained the crushing promise he’s shown the past two years by hitting a slick fireman’s carry on Virginia Tech’s Jared Haught and then switched off to a head and arm and registered the first-period fall to win the gold at 197 pounds. Adam Coon of Michigan would top Arizona State’s Tanner Hall as Coon quickly countered a bad Hall shot in sudden victory. Coon wants to fly rockets and stuff. He’s big. Other tournament action that didn’t involve that big tournament in Las Vegas was mostly outside of Division I. Mt. San Antonio College won the Southern Regional championship of the California Community College Athletic Association. The Mounties, yes, the MOUNTIES, only had two champions but 10 of the 12 wrestlers placed in the Top 4. No report from the North Region up at Lassen College in Susanville. The Mid-South Conference had its women’s conference championships on Saturday with Campbellsville picking up four individual titles, not counting Kayla Miracle, who was in Russia at the World Cup. The Mid-South Conference has five of its members fielding women’s wrestling programs. Charlotte Fowler, Koral Sugiyama, Alexia Foca, and Kaitlyn Hill claimed gold. Lightning crashes in York, Pennsylvania as Johnson & Wales won four individual titles to win the New Standard Invitational at York College. Bobby Jordan, Jay Albis, Michael Gargano and Michael DiNardo each claimed titles for Lonnie Morris’ Wildcats, again, they aren’t just a cooking school. I alone challenge you to find the reference here. Messiah outdistanced Mount Union to win the Messiah Petrofes Invitational. The Falcons earned three individual championships. Mount Union scored 70 points in its NCAA Division III quarterfinal football win over Frostburg State over the weekend. Oh, we’re talking wrestling. Little alphabet soup as WPI won the RIT Invitational with two champions -- Tyler Marsh and Brendan Marion. “Lois, there’s a message in my alpha bits, it’s saying ooooooo.” Peter, those are Cherrios. By the way, that reference I was mentioning earlier? The band Live is from York, Pennsylvania, so there’s the I Alone and the Lightning Crashes references. 90’s music fans rejoice. Speaking of outside of Division I, you can file this under stuff that just never happens. Both Wartburg and Augsburg lost on Saturday. At the same event. To Division III schools. Not sure when, or if, that’s ever happened, but it’s a big enough anomaly that it leads off our dual meet section of the show. This craziness happened in La Crosse at the Candlewood Suites duals. Loras, coached by Watrburg alum T.J. Miller, beat Augsburg 17-16 as the Duhawks. Yes, Duhawks, won the last three bouts to rally from a 16-8 deficit. Heavyweight Quin Gillam earned the dual-deciding 5-0 win. Since many of you may not be super familiar with Division III or life outside of D1 wrestling, Loras is in Dubuque, Iowa and they were ranked eighth in the country coming in. Augsburg was second. Loras SID Jim Naprstek even sent me a DM asking if the #1 and #2 teams in D3 ever lost on the same day. No. 12 UW-Whitewater used a 4-2 decision at 197 pounds by All-American Jordan Newman over Kyle Fank to clinch a 21-20 win over No. 1 Wartburg. Both teams were docked a team point in the dual, with Whitewater’s coming after the match had concluded. Crucial swing was at 133 pounds where Hazen Rice was trailing Wartburg’s Brennen Doebel 6-3 in the second before Rice reversed Doebel to his back to get the fall at 3:38. Want to make things even more complicated? Augsburg beat UW-Whitewater 26-16. This should be a real interesting year in D3, especially after the semester break and a few more athletes come into play. Fourth-ranked Missouri opened up #MACtion with a 36-3 win over visiting Old Dominion. Grant Leeth picked up a fall at 149 pounds while Daniel Lewis picked up a technical fall at 174 to power the Tigers. Playing the name game, ODU’s Michael McGee, without an H, beat Missouri’s Barlow McGhee, with an H, in the tiebreakers. It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it makes you wonder how days could be any worse. Sixth-ranked NC State didn’t drop a goose egg on Chattanooga, they sent them into negative integers. The Pack beat the Mocs 41 to -1. Team point got deducted after 184 pounds when Pete Renda edged Bryce Carr. The Pack improved to 8-0 already this season. Northwestern showed some snarl as the much-improved Wildcats handled Maryland 34-12. If you remember last week, Maryland had upended then-No. 21 Stanford. The Cats got falls from Sebastian Rivera at 125, Ryan Deakin at 149 and Johnny Wrestling, aka Johnny Sebastian at 174. The top individual matchup went Maryland’s way as heavyweight Youssif Hemida pinned Conan Jennings. Fire up Dips? Franklin & Marshall topped VMI 25-12. The Diplomats are the only Division III school with a Division I wrestling program. They are the Highlander. There can be only one. Because the Highlander was a documentary and it was based on events that happened in real time! Ok, enough Aqua Teen references. One bright spot for VMI is Hunter Starner picked up a fall at 133 pounds. Starner’s from Tabb, my high school rival, but he was part of my old wrestling club, the PWA. Indiana went 3-0 at the Hoosier duals, beating Northern Illinois, Cleveland State and SIU Edwardsville. In Division II, fifth-ranked Pitt-Johnstown fell behind early, but came back to win six of the last eight bouts to defeat 10th-ranked Ashland 25-12. Pat Pecora, the AD and head coach at UPJ, started his head coaching career -- get this -- DURING the Carter Administration. See, it’s not just a joke I throw around about Colton McCrystal. San Francisco State head coach Jason Welch earned his first head coaching win of his career as the Gators beat NAIA Southern Oregon 32-13. San Francisco State trailed 13-10 after five matches, but three of the next five wins were bonus victories, including falls by Sam Alnassiri at 285 and Isaiah Alva at 149. Mercyhurst scored wins by Penn State transfer Wes Phipps at 197 and Jacob Robb at heavyweight to get past Kerry Regner’s Millersville Marauders 22-16 in a matchup of PSAC schools. Mercyhurst also beat LIU Post 25-19. Gannon also went 2-0 with wins over Millersvile an LIU Post. Gannon, like the bad guy in Metroid? Ah, nostalgia. I wasn’t any good at that game. In the NAIA, top-ranked Grand View shut out Benedictine 51-0. The Vikings picked up falls from Blake Joiner at 174 and national champion heavyweight Dean Broghammer. We talked about the rarity of the negative one earlier -- coincidentally -- negative one was my softball number. Seriously. Southeastern University of Lakeland, Florida won six out of 10 matches on Saturday against the University of the Cumberlands. But the Patriots’ four wins were all by bonus wins, two majors and two falls and those four wins were enough to beat Southeastern 20-19. Quandre Chisolm’s major decision at heavyweight pushed coach Chris Fleeger’s team to the win. Yes, THAT Chris Fleeger. Lime green buddah still unaccounted for. Southeastern is coached by a former Divi

David Barker and Sara Koenig have been the brains behind the Super 32 Challenge for the last 18 years. In what started in a small high school gym in Eden, North Carolina, one of the nation's most respected and toughest wrestling tournaments has blossomed. Now hosted in Greensboro, David Barker rocks into Episode 360 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast with high hopes for the future and a fond look back at the past. This is the fourth straight year the Short Time Wrestling Podcast has previewed the tournament and while Sara was either out preparing or watching Big Brother or Survivor (only kidding), David stepped up on a late night to share this year's story.

Can you believe Nahshon Garrett wasn't even going to head to college? No, he wasn't planning on not wrestling, he didn't really have plans to go to college at all. On Episode 227 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Garrett talks about his development in wrestling and what ultimately led him to believe he could perform in Division I wrestling. A native of Chico, Calif., Garrett keeps a pretty even kiel and balances wrestling with time off the mat helping out at church. He's now up at 133 pounds and is loving the sport again after essentially hating every second of it last season as the cut down to 125 started to take its toll. Garrett breaks down how fun coach Rob Koll can be, what it was like watching Kyle Dake on his journey to college wrestling greatness and simply, how to treat people. He also talks a little bit about that win over returning NCAA champion Cody Brewer. Yeah, we weren't going to leave that out. Leave a voicemail for the show by checking out our contact page.

SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY! (I made this part up on the fly) This is Short Time Shots, a comically unfunny wrestling podcast aimed at giving you, the wrestling fan, everything you need to know about the day’s happenings in college wrestling. I’m your host Jason Bryant, and here’s something about me, November 11 marks the 10-year anniversary of my first ever podcast. That was called Wrestling 411 with my co-host Kyle Klingman. I’ll actually break that historic show down later this month as Kyle and I talk about that doomed but life-changing project and its impact on wrestling, whether you remember it or not. Speaking of things people wouldn’t rather remember - and I’m talking about our friends in Kent, Ohio. No. 1 Penn State won its 46th dual in a row as the Nittany Lions blasted Kent State 52-3 at sold-out Rec Hall. After dropping the first match at 125 pounds, Penn State reeled off nine straight bonus victories, including six falls in a row, to trounce the Golden Flashes, who wrestled without returning All-American Kyle Conel at 197 pounds. The debut of Roman Bravo-Young was sound as the true freshman from Arizona registered his first collegiate fall over Tim Rooney at 133. Just two days earlier, Rooney lost a tough one to Iowa’s Austin DeSanto in a dual at Kent State. What impressed me the most about Bravo-Young was his top work. He good. We use that F-word a lot around Penn State - Fun. Love them or hate them, Penn State is freaking fun to watch - probably not that fun to wrestle, though. No. 5 Michigan opened up its dual season with a 32-12 win over rival Central Michigan up in Mount Pleasant, a result leaving Bloodround’s Kevin Claunch torn to his core. Big Wolverine bonus wins were registered by Stevan Micic at 133, Kanen Storr at 141, Malik Amine at 149, Logan Massa at 165 and Myles Amine at 174. We did NOT see Mason Parris at heavyweight, as an FYI. No football-like comebacks for ODU on the wrestling mats on Sunday. A day after its football team rallied from a 28-0 deficit to beat North Texas, ODU’s wrestling team fell behind 18-0 … and it got worse as No. 7 Missouri continued its dominance over the Monarchs as the Tigers rolled into the Ted Constant Convocation Center and topped ODU 40-3 in an early-season MAC contest. The match which saw the most eyes came at 141 pounds where a pair of All-Americans tangled. It was Missouri’s Jaydin Eierman who came away with the W, pinning Eastern Michigan transfer Sa’Derian Perry in 5:05. Missouri also picked up bonus wins at 125, 133, 165, 174 and 197 pounds to roll. At the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, a big crowd saw No. 11 Arizona State top No. 19 South Dakota State 30-9 in the dual meet coaching debut for Damion Hahn of SDSU. Nothing really unexpected here. The dual’s two returning NCAA champions, Seth Gross of South Dakota State and Zahid Valencia of Arizona State both scored falls for their respective teams. The bout that was probably of the most interest in terms of a potential toss up went Arizona State’s way at 149 pounds where Josh Maruca topped Henry Pohlmeyer 5-3. ASU All-Americans Ryan Millhof and Josh Shields won big as well. No. 24 North Carolina opened up its season with a 23-10 over Chattanooga. The Mocs jumped out to an early 10-0 lead after the first three weights, highlighted by Chris Debien’s 10-5 win over A.C. Headlee at 141. After that, it was all Tar Heels as Coleman Scott’s squad swept the last seven bouts. Buffalo went 3-0 in sweeping a quad hosted by Bucknell on Sunday. The Bulls topped VMI 34-5, Cleveland State 34-6 and host Bucknell 25-12. It wasn’t smooth sailing the entire time for coach John Stutzman’s team as Bucknell did steal a few bouts. At 125 pounds, Geo Barzona knocked off Buffalo’s Kyle Akins 5-4, while Bucknell 157-pounder Zach Hartman upended Alex Smythe, who was trending upwards in the eyes of many after his rapid improvement. VMI’s Neal Richards went 3-0 in his three bouts at 174 pounds. In the Big 12, Fresno State cruised by Northern Colorado 34-4 before they headed south down I-25 and were greeted by an Air Force team that wasn’t going to let them do the Colorado D1 double. Air Force beat Fresno State 19-15 with the swing victory coming in overtime at 174 where Air Force’s Randy Meneweather beat the Bulldogs’ Ricky Padilla 3-1 in sudden victory. Iowa State opened up its dual slate with a 37-3 win over SIU Edwardsville. Impressive performances turned in by Austin Gomez at 133 as he earned a first-period technical fall. Ian Parker and Marcus Coleman added falls for the Cyclones at 141 and 174 pounds. In Division II, No. 6 Pitt-Johnstown topped No. 5 Wheeling Jesuit 19-15 in Wheeling. Fifth-ranked Levi Niebauer picked up a major decision at 197 pounds the put the bout out of reach and gave coach Pat Pecora his 583rd dual meet victory. Yes, he’s in his 43rd year at the helm. Central Oklahoma gave up the first and last wins of the dual and thumped NAIA Oklahoma City 34-6. Oklahoma City head coach Sam Hazewinkel, the dual threat World and Olympic teamer spent the last two seasons prior as an assistant coach at Central Oklahoma. In Division III, Muhlenberg won the Electric City Duals at Scranton going 4-0. The MULES beat host Scranton, Keystone, Lackawanna and the club team from Temple. No idea whether or not there were any Man in the High Castle references at the event. Don’t know what I’m talking about? Watch Season 3 on Amazon Prime. Going back to New York as the round-robin style Journeymen Collegiate Classic took place a day after the Northeast Duals. Some of the top results saw Lehigh’s Nick Farro knock off Oklahoma’s Christian Moody 3-2 at 125 pounds. Lehigh’s Brandon Paetzell beat Wyoming All-American Montorie Bridges in pool competition, then fell to Purdue’s Ben Thornton 5-1 in the final at that particular weight class pairing. Oklahoma’s Dom Demas had a solid outing at 141 pounds, beating Lock Haven’s Kyle Shoop, Wyoming’s Sam Turner and Purdue’s Nate Limmex. Not too shabby, especially as he got the fall over Limmex at 1:38. NC State’s Justin Oliver topped Davion Jeffries of Oklahoma 7-2 in the A-Bracket final at 149 pounds. Army West Point’s Luke Weiland emerged at 157’s A bracket. Weiland topped Oklahoma’s Justin Thomas 9-0 in the final. Thomas defeated Appalachian State’s Matt Zovitoski and Utah Valley’s Grant LaMont in his side of the pool. Lock Haven All-American Chance Marsteller beat Wyoming’s Branson Ashworth 7-4 in the A-bracket final at 165 pounds. Lehigh’s Jordan Kutler beat Purdue’s Dylan Lydy 3-1 at 174. NC State’s Nick Reenan’s return to folkstyle wrestling was successful one. He topped Lehigh’s Ryan Preisch 5-1 in the top bracket final at 184 pounds. Army West Point’s Rocco Caywood had a win over Lehigh’s Chris Weiler in the pool competition before knocking off NC State’s Malik McDonald 4-2 to claim the title at 197 pounds. Lehigh’s Jake Jakobsen won the B bracket at the weight and 197 is shaping up to be real interesting at Lehigh already this year. Lehigh heavyweight Jordan Wood topped Utah Valley’s Tate Orndorff 6-0 in the final at 285 pounds. Orndorff had a solid 6-5 win over Lock Haven’s Thomas Haines in pool competition. At the Jonathan Kaloust Bearcat Open up in Binghamton where the Bearcats program is celebrating its 50th wrestling anniversary, Cornell was strong to quite strong. At 133, Chaz Tucker beat Vitali Arujau 7-5 in an all-Big Red Final. At 157, Josh Humphreys of Lehigh came away with three falls, a tech and a major on his way to the title. Two of those wins were over NCAA qualifiers Hunter Ladnier of Harvard and Mike D’Angelo, wrestling unattached for Princeton. Brown’s Jonathan Viruet majored George Mason’s Colston DiBlasi 11-0 in the finals at 165 pounds. NC State’s Trent Hidlay knocked off All-American Brandon Womack of Cornell in the second round, then beat Penn State’s Mason Manville in the semifinals en route to the title at 174 pounds. Pretty good starting weekend for the true freshman. Other notable winners were Brown’s Christian LaFragola at 197 and George Mason’s Matt Voss at 285. At the Ohio Intercollegiate Open, the Ohio State Buckeyes pretty much dominated the field. Well, there isn’t too much pretty much, it was dominating. There were a lot of OSU wrestle-offs in the finals. Rather than go through all of them, here’s the notables. Micah Jordan topped teammate Sammy Sasso 9-7 in the final at 149 pounds. Ke-Shawn Hayes won at 157, topping Elijah Cleary 6-5. Cleary upended Michigan’s Will Lewan 3-1 in sudden victory in the semifinals. People notice since Lewan topped teammate Alec Pantaelo last week at the Michigan State Open. Ethan Smith topped teammate TeShan Campbell 8-5 in the finals at 174. More Ohio State stuff happened with titles at 184 with Gavin Hoffman winning, Chase Singletary won at 285. Singletary defeated Mason Parris of Michigan in the semis and beat D2 All-American Kam Teacher of Notre Dame College.

Glenn Withrow grew up wrestling in Kentucky. A state runner-up in high school, he quickly went into film and over the last several decades, he’s acted, written and produced a number of series’ and films. 

On Episode 637 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Glenn and his wife Hallie Todd and their daughter Ivy Withrow, join the show to talk about the December 8 release of The Last Champion, a film they wrote and directed together with high school wrestling as the backdrop of this story about redemption. 

While the trio have a number of credits to their names, you might recognize Glenn from his role as Tim Shepard in The Outsiders, a book most of us read in middle school and Hallie as Jo McGuire from the Lizzy McGuire series and movie. 

As noted in my previous interview with Cole Hauser, I had a chance to work on the film with them and they’re some of the most accommodating and gracious people I’ve come across. 

The Last Champion is available for pre-order on iTunes and you can find it on Amazon Prime or Google Play on December 8. Info at thelastchampion.com

New Mexico Highlands, a Division II school in Las Vegas, N.M. has announced wrestling was one of a number of winter sports that had their seasons cancelled over the weekend. That’s definitely better than the alternative, such as what was featured on 60 Minutes on Sunday.

My time with Dan Wirnsberger dates back to his days as an assistant coach at Virginia Tech. Now entering his 11th year as the head coach at Bucknell, coach Wirnsberger visits the Short Time Wrestling Podcast for Episode 212. He'll talk about the new renovations going on that will directly impact the wrestling program at the Lewisburg, Pa., campus and how his donors and administration have embraced wrestling since it was resurrected 11 years ago after a brief cut of the program. Wirnsberger talks about his evolution as a coach and what it's like to recruit at an academically competitive school within the rugged EIWA. It's an interview you won't want to miss on Short Time!

Hofstra head wrestling coach Dennis Papadatos was giving us a hard time about when the last time he was on the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, so we caved to the pressure and talked with the head man at the Long Island school. Papadatos talks about the roster limits, Hofstra wrestling history and the legislation for football this year regarding redshirts and how it could be a positive thing for wrestling if it ever comes to the sport. He'll also explain how big Mike Hughes really is. The Short Time Time Wrestling Podcast is proudly supported by Compound Clothing.

Inspired by true events can sometimes be the international sign for eye roll when it comes to movies. This isn't the case with Ali Afshar and his upcoming film American Wrestler: The Wizard. An immigrant who fled Iran as a child, Afshar worked with Warner Brothers to create a movie that centered around his struggles as an Iranian during the 1980s, at the height of the Iran-U.S. international hostage crisis. What was the outlet that led him to acceptance and through his own personal struggles? Wrestling. Afshar, who has an accomplished career in motorsports, has also been in a number of filmes and television series. American Wrestler will debut via FathomEvents on May 3 and then have a full digital release two weeks later. Find out more about the movie and how to watch at AmericanWrestlerMovie.com.

It was Monday. It didn’t snow. That’s all you need to know. This is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look back at the scores and more from the world of wrestling, I’m Jason Bryant. Oh, I bought a standing desk today. I’ll put it in the office when that finally gets done. Ever seen The Money Pit? Yeah, two weeks.  Dual Meets:  Six teams pulled notable upsets over the weekend, with Rider pulling the biggest, going into Minneapolis and beating No. 6 Minnesota 21-17. Even with some controversy over skin checks, No. 10 Lehigh knocked off No. 4 Oklahoma State 21-20 on criteria. No. 11 Virginia Tech went into Columbus and beat No. 3 Ohio State 21-15 and one that was overlooked by many was Michigan State beating No. 20 Oklahoma 21-16. Stanford topped No. 17 North Carolina 21-11 and No. 21 Northwestern scored a modest upset over No. 14 Northern Iowa 24-20. While behind the paywall at Flo, David Bray tracked down all the upsets he could find and counted up 38 individual upsets, including 11 wrestlers in the top 10 going down. Again, while I don’t link to the paywalled content from any outlet, if you have a FloPro subscription, that feature is worth reading, even if you like another outlet’s rankings.  Also finally expect some shake-ups in the NWCA Division I Wrestling Coaches Poll this week as we’ve finally got some duals to shake out who’s legit and who’s just tough on paper.  Tournaments One tournament of note saw Penn State win four titles, but Army West Point won the team title. The Nittany Lions wrestled half their starters, the Black Knights wrestled a ton of their roster. I get annoyed when I see tournaments “score” opens, but this was an invitational. Should the fact Penn State entered a team-scored tournament and not win it be relevant or should, as Clay Sauertieg puts it, have an asterisk?   International Wrestling The U.S. finished second to Japan, losing 7-3 at the Women’s World Cup in Narita, Japan over the weekend. Japan showed its depth by using a number of athletes who have seen success at the age-group levels, but were more or less, senior-level unknowns. Adeline Gray, Jacarra Winchester and Tamyra Mensah-Stock were absolute beasts. As Americans, we are fortunate to be in a generation that’s seeing amazing growth in women’s wrestling and we currently have three dynamic athletes leading the charge on the senior level.  Bill Farrell happened. Want to know what happened? It’s covered everywhere, so I don’t need to rehash it here. By the way, literally everything in the Short Time Shots is actually covered by a story that’s included in the Daily Wrestling News. I hit the key topics here, but the best way to be the most educated fan in the block or at the bar, is to go to mattalkonline.com/news and wake up every morning with the news of the day.  GET A FREE MONTH OF PODCAST HOSTING WITH LIBSYN There are approximately 66 active wrestling podcasts out there, with 20 of them on the Mat Talk Podcast Network. I get asked all the time about what people need to start a podcast. One of the most important things is a podcast host.

Notables on the Docket for November 19: Tuesday is a typical dual meet day for the Ohio Athletic Conference and this Tuesday is no different as four duals take place there, all in Division III. Heidelberg, which you should know their nickname by now, takes on the Blue Streaks of John Carroll, Muskingum, they’re the Muskies, face Mount Union, which are the Purple Raiders, the Yellow Jackets of Baldwin Wallace, now sans hyphen, heads to Ohio Northern to face the Polar Bears, because that’s what you think of when you think of Ohio. Lastly, Otterbein, which is the more traditional Cardinals, will face the Fighting Quakers of Wilmington.  In the NAIA, Graceland will face Baker, while Simpson (Calif.) will take on Lassen of the California Community Colleges. That’ll be the last dual officially scheduled for the teams out in the California Community College system as the state dual meet championship gets underway this weekend.   FROM THE DWN: Andy Hamilton of Trackwrestling follows up the competition from the Bill Farrell Memorial with a Writing Time feature on who the man Bill Farrell was and his unique background and history in wrestling and sporting goods.  Tom Housenick of The Morning Call in Allentown, Pennsylvania writes about the loss of a Nazareth wrestling family’s home in a fire. A GoFundMe has been set up to help the family of DeShawn Farber, with putting their life back together after losing pretty much everything.  Just about every wrestling and MMA site has been covering this story, but two-time NCAA champion, four-time All-American and 2008 Olympian Ben Askren announced he was retiring from MMA today on Ariel Helwani’s MMA show.  We just had a Greco-Roman event, which means Tim Hands from FivePointMove.com is on the case. Actually, it’s Monday, so that means Tim Hands from FivePointMove is on the case with his Monday Roundup, which he posts every Monday, as the name implies. I had this in Monday morning’s Daily Wrestling News, but it bears repeating here on the show, since TheMat.com also posted the announcement from the Sparta Independent that Sussex County Community College will be adding wrestling. They’ve hired former Centenary wrestler Chris Burdge as the first head coach. Burdge was a four-time Division III All-American from 2011-2014. Keeping things Jersey, NCAA champions Nick Suriano and Anthony Ashnault of Rutgers will be part of NCAA Collegiate National Champions day in Washington D.C. In other words, they get to go to the White House. You may now start your banter about the nation’s politics, but do that on your own time - I don’t care.  Wartburg will honor the late Kenny Anderson, a three-time Division III national champion who passed away earlier this fall on November 20 in the Knights dual against Simpson College. Wartburg’s won 30 straight against the Storm.  The weekly load of Wrestlers of the Week are starting to drop. You can get a ton of them in Tuesday’s newsletter.  Finally, Dan Gable is the big cheese. Or in this case, he’s made of big cheese. File this under things you really don’t need to know, but you need to see, Go Iowa Awesome, a snarky, but often hilarious sports blog covering Iowa, shows us what Dan Gable looks like when he’s carved out of cheese. In Minnesota, it would have been butter.  On The Network Nothing coming out other than this show on Monday, but the rest of this week, we’ll have shows from On The Mat, Rocked Up, ODU Monarch Matcast, Inside Virginia Tech Wrestling and possibly something from Hall of Fame Legends, but that might have to wait until the lull over Thanksgiving.

With the 53rd Ken Kraft Midlands set to kick off on December 29, Episode 232 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast visits with Denny McCabe, one of the original champions from the first event back in 1963. McCabe won what was then known as the Western Suburban YMCA Open in La Grange, Ill., at 190 pounds. One of four champions from Southern Illinois University (Carbondale), it ended up being the highlight of his collegiate career as injuries kept him from postseason competition. McCabe, who still remains active in the wrestling discussions to this day as "Denny" on TheMat.com forums, goes back in time to talk about the Chicagoland wrestling scene back then and how cool it was to have a holiday event so close for home. McCabe also breaks down his international career in the Armed Forces and working with his college teammate, World and Olympic Team member Larry Kristoff.

Iowa Central just captured its first NJCAA national championship in five years on Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa. On Episode 147 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll chat with head coach Luke Moffitt about how the team went from a disastrous 1-4 start in the opening round to coming back and taking the championship on the second day. Moffitt will also talk about the dynamic of junior college wrestling and how he's been able to give kids first and second chances. We'll also talk with one of the more entertaining characters in college wrestling, 197-pound champion Pat Downey. A 2012 Junior World silver medalist in freestyle, Downey started his career at Nebraska after spending time at the Olympic Training Center. After leaving Nebraska, Downey explains how he ended up at Iowa Central and how wrestling in junior college hasn't slowed him down from accomplishing his dreams. He also explains how this year changed him as a person and as a wrestler as part of a real team dynamic.

National champion wrestler and coach Jim Gibbons joins the Short Time Wrestling Podcast for Episode 239. Gibbons is seen and heard with his broadcast partner Tim Johnson on the Big Ten Network and also does work with ESPN for wrestling commentary. He's known for some trademark phrases like laces up, among others. We'll talk with Gibbons about his early start in wrestling, his career at Iowa State and wrestling under legendary coach Harold Nichols and his quick ascension into coaching, which ultimately led him to coaching a national team championship at Iowa State. Gibbons touches on his relationship with Randy Lewis and some general takeaways from this college wrestling season, including Jason Nolf's win over Isaiah Martinez and the decision for Kyle Snyder to wrestle this season for Ohio State.
