Exploring the world of California Community College wrestling at the 3C2A Championships
For the past 20-something years that I’ve covered the world of college wrestling, one system has always been extremely unique and interesting to me, the California Community College Athletic Association. Now branded as the 3C2A, the organization has sponsored a men’s wrestling collegiate championship since 1959. In 1982, the strangest thing about the league came into being - it became a fall sport. So for over 40 years, the first wrestling to kick off each season isn’t the NWCA All-Star Classic or an open somewhere in Michigan, it’s in September in California. So what and who is actually competing out there? I went to find out, seeing some familiar faces along the way to tell some stories about what the athletes and coaches get out of competing in wrestling’s fall season. On this episode, you’ll hear from: 7:40 - John Sachs from Tech-Fall.com 10:50 - Mt. San Antonio head coach David Rivera 13:00 - Fresno City College head coach Paul Keysaw 16:00 - Palomar College head coach Timmy Box 20:45 - Lassen College head coach Lonnie Nalls 25:30 - Mt. San Antonio assistant coach Chris Mecate 32:20 - Cal Poly Humboldt (D2) assistant coach Jim Zalesky 35:30 - Cuesta College head coach Joe Dansby 41:20 - Sacramento City College head coach Marques Gales Want an ad-free version of the show AND the best in wrestling news from around the world?

411 Throwback: Talking with David Taylor after winning the 2009 Dave Schultz H.S. Excellence Award
Back on May 8, 2009, the Wrestling 411 podcast with Kyle Klingman and Jason Bryant was running through its first (And only) season. A senior from Graham High School in Ohio named David Taylor would win the 2009 Dave Schultz High School Excellence Award from the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. Taylor had signed with Iowa State, but Cael Sanderson had a few week prior left Iowa State to take over at Penn State. At the time, Taylor didn’t yet know where he was publicly going to go, although most assumed he would follow Sanderson to Penn State. This interview is from during Taylor’s senior year in high school. Taylor recently finished with a bronze medal at the non-Olympic world championships in Tirana, Albania, which most believe was his last competitive tournament. Taylor now takes over as the head coach at Oklahoma State. Enjoy this throwback from 2009. Want an ad-free version of the show?

Cleaning up the Key Bridge with Kramer Whitelaw
Kramer Whitelaw works as a deckhand with McAllister Towing in the Baltimore Harbor. In March, Merchant Vessel Dali slammed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge, causing it to collapse and close marine traffic in one of the busiest ports in the country. Whitelaw, a former wrestler at George Mason University and McDonogh School in Maryland and a current assistant high school wrestling coach, was part of the clean up crew and talks about the experience from a work perspective, from a perspective of being a former wrestler and as that of a Baltimore native. Whitelaw is still actively involved in the sport as a coach, but given his role with the company, he’s had to step back some, but still finds time to coach with former high school teammate Brynn Holmes at Gilman School and this week, is on the U20 Pan Am coaching staff for Team USA in Peru.

Beat the Streets Bay Area Executive Director John Lange on growing wrestling in Oakland and beyond
The new Executive Director of Beat the Streets Bay Area, John Lange, comes on Short Time to talk about his new role with the organization and his return to wrestling. An All-American at Penn State in 1998, Lange has the unique distinction of being the first wrestler in the full wrestleback era to have lost in the first round and come back to take third at the NCAA Division I championships. He spent time as an assistant coach at Hofstra and Eastern Michigan before assuming the role of interim head coach at EMU in 2005-06. A move to California almost 20 years ago gave Lange a new home and time away from the sport. When he wanted to get back involved in the Bay Area, he quickly found himself as the guy tabbed to lead. Lange breaks down the wrestling culture in the Bay Area and what Beat The Streets Bay Area is doing to help foster the sport in Oakland and the surrounding communities.

Little Rock head wrestling coach Neil Erisman has the Trojans moving on up
Little Rock wrestling is ranked in the NWCA Division I Men's Wrestling Coaches Poll for the first time in school history.

Host Jason Bryant is joined by Little Rock head wrestling coach Neil Erisman to talk about the team's record-setting season and the perspective his team has on its recent success.

Short Time Shots: December 8, 2023
Twas a backyard brawl on Thursday night. I took in some high school wrestling as I watched Mounds View High School dispatch with Irondale … which are the two high schools in my school district. One is known as the sports school, the other is the band and robotics school. The sports school won 60-6. By the way, former Gopher Marty Morgan’s youngest son is a 215-pounder for Mounds View and he’s freaking HUGE. He’s headed to South Dakota State. I was spotted in the crowd by one Mounds View parent. Was great to just watch some pretty good high school wrestling without actually working. There’s some great HS wrestling kicking off today at the Walsh Ironman. Check my socials @jasonmbryant for some knowledge bombs. It’s Short Time Shots, a look at the day’s college wrestling scores and more, I’m your host, Hall of Fame wrestling writer and broadcaster Jason Bryant. On to the scores on the college scene from Thursday. Speaking of scoreboards, did you know you can find all the D1 dual meet scores and links to their results at collegewrestlingscoreboard.com AND I’ve added another redirect to help you follow all the tournaments from every division at collegewrestlingtournaments.com . Only D1 dual of the night, Michigan State improved to 4-0 after a 25-9 win over Buffalo ON THE STAGE up in New York. Buffalo did one of those theatre-style duals for the third year in a row. If you look at the dual, this one was probably closer than the score indicates as Michigan State picked up three victories that were two points or less. Still been a rough start for Buffalo this year. In Division II, Augustana (S.D.) knocked off 13th-ranked Northern State 21-13 out in the middle of South Dakota. The Vikings were ranked 18th in the most recent NWCA rankings, which is a tournament points ranking rather than a dual ranking. Augie’s top-ranked Jaxson Rohman earned a major at 125 pounds, while top-ranked Wyatt Turnquist won 7-2 at 149 pounds for Northern State. Out west, San Francisco State shutout Simpson (Calif.) 41-0. In D3, second-ranked Wartburg rolled past the only non-Iowa team in the American Rivers Conference, which used to be the Iowa Conference. The Knights had five falls, the fastest coming at 197 pounds by top-ranked Mo Endene, the returning D3 champion at the weight in the 54-0 win. Third-ranked UW-Eau Claire rallied from down 14-3 after five weights and reeled off five straight W’s to oust rival UW-Whitewater 25-14. Whitewater did pick up the dual’s most notable win as ninth-ranked Dominick Mallinder bounced top-ranked Tyler Fleetwood 7-1 at 133 pounds. 20th-ranked Millikin topped Aurora 23-17. Bonus points were the difference for the Big Blue as three of the wins were bonus victories including falls by C

It’s Short Time Shots, a look at the day’s college wrestling scores and more, I’m your host, Hall of Fame wrestling writer and broadcaster Jason Bryant and I want to let you know, this is the scoreboard show of record. Speaking of scoreboards, did you know you can find all the D1 dual meet scores and links to their results at collegewrestlingscoreboard.com AND I’ve added another redirect to help you follow all the tournaments from every division at collegewrestlingtournaments.com . NO ONE ELSE DOES THIS. Top dual of the night, No. 25 Stevens Institute knocked of No. 11 Coast Guard 18-15 in Hoboken, New Jersey. The dual had a couple of matches between ranked individuals. Coast Guard took the 133-pound match as sixth-ranked Chase Randall beat 10th-ranked Luke Hoerle 9-3. At 157, Stevens' Ryan Smith, ranked as high as fourth, topped No. 14 Noah Caskey 9-6 in a matchup between returning All-Americans. Trailing 11-6 halfway through, the Ducks won four in a row from 165-197 to ice the dual. Elsewhere in Division III, Coe bested Buena Vista 45-9 to open up action in the American Rivers Conference. Will Esmoil, L.J. Richardson and Mathieu Arsenault picked up falls for the Kohawks (with a K) and head coach John Oostendorp - he beat Rulon Gardner back in the day by the way. McDaniel beat Division II Frostburg State 30-14. No. 12 Ashland edged No. 21 Mercyhurst 20-19 on criteria. Ashland took the victory on the third criteria, most match points 77-76. This is again one of those things that makes me wonder why the heck we don't just do match points. Wade Schalles has been touting a version of it for years. Andy Hamilton and Kyle Klingman went through and came up with a system. If we're changing points in individual matches for whatever reason, why don't we just change dual meet scoring to match the output of the athletes? Kutztown pulled away from Shippensburg, winning three of the last four weights to come away with a 33-18 win in a battle of PSAC squads. The Golden Bears improved to 2-0 on the season. Emmanuel beat Emory & Henry 45-3 and San Francisco State won a Bay Area battle, topping NAIA Menlo 43-9. In the NAIA, second-ranked Life University used a squad mostly of reserves and smashed Brewton-Parker 45-9. 10th-ranked Myles Starke did get the go for Life at 184 pounds. He picked up a technical fall over Charles Henkel. All seven victories were bonus victories for the Friends University Falcons as the flew past Bethany (Kan.) 39-18. Reigning KCAC Men's Wrestler of the Week Gunnar Henderson pinned Nathaniel Zabala in 2:33, while Thomas Vasquez, Jamie Mitchell and Gustavo Renteria also got their hand raised after they had the win by pin. It was also the first dual win for new men’s head wrestling coach Tyler Mies. O

Short Time Shots - December 1, 2023
Las Vegas is on everyone’s mind who follows the world of Division I wrestling and that also means me. There’s a bunch of Vegas-related content in the newsletter today, so again, you can find out how to get that daily at the end of the show. I was on the mic Thursday here in the Twin Cities - more on that in a bit, this is Short Time Shots, a look at the day’s results in and around college wrestling. Right now, if you hear any banging around, it’s because I’m getting a new furnace installed this morning. Yup. Thankfully before it his absolute zero here this winter. Our installer used to wrestle, too. Links: Did you know you can find all the D1 dual meet scores and links to their results at collegewrestlingscoreboard.com AND I’ve added another redirect to help you follow all the tournaments from every division at collegewrestlingtournaments.com . As to the aforementioned Minnesota match, Division III’s top-ranked team, Augsburg, blanked No. 25 Loras 46-0 at Si Melby Hall. Augsburg won four matchups between ranked wrestlers, including returning national champion Sam Stuhl earning an 11-2 major decision over No. 13 Jalen Schropp at 141 pounds. Top-ranked heavyweight Tyler Kim and 184-pounder Bentley Schwanebeck-Ostermann picked big bonus victories - Kim with the fall and BSO (his name is too long to keep repeating) with the tech. Other scores around Division III saw Carthage beat Elmhurst 29-15, and Central, that’s it, just Central, pushed past Augustana (Ill.) 36-9. UW-Stevens Point trounced UW-Oshkoh (B’Gosh) 40-18. Augustana did beat Simpson (Iowa) The only Division I match of the night featured a pair of transitional programs as Bellarmine heads out to Missouri and beat Lindenwood 35-7. There were some exciting duals in Division II, including Kutztown winning the last five bouts to pull away past Seton Hill 34-15. Both of Kutztown’s ranked wrestlers - No. 11 Dalton Gimbor at 165 and third-ranked Matthew Weinberg at 184 - won. Gimbor beat Kane Kettering while Weinberg picked up a forfeit. I hate forfeit. Millersville beat East Stroudsburg 23-19. Colorado School of Mines won the last six weights to top New Mexico Highlands 31-13. Colorado Mesa beat rival Western Colorado 24-17. Davenport beat NAIA Cleary 37-12. Down south, Coker blanked Bluefield State (that’s in West Virginia), while Belmont Abbey beat Emory & Henry 48-3. Emory & Henry is transitioning from Division III to Division II. In the NAIA, Ottawa beat Avila 35-13. On the women’s side, Grand View beat Central Methodist 27-18, Cedar Crest beat Alvernia 32-16 in the school’s first ever home women’s wrestling dual. Sioux Falls new women’s program improved to 2-0 with a win over Minot State 39-13 and Lock

The network dropped a couple of episodes for you to check out - the biggest was Episode 2 of the Etched in Stone series on Gray Simons called Seven. Shane Sparks fired out a show with Alex Marinelli on the Go Earn It Podcast, which has been a great addition to the network. Bob Bowlsby, inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame this summer as an Outstanding American, is returning to where his AD career started - Northern Iowa - as the Panthers named him the school’s interim AD on Wednesday, taking over for David Harris, who is leaving for Tulane. This one’s amusing since Tulane got its last AD from UNI - Troy Dannen. He recently left Tulane for Washington. So let’s see if Dannen, a friend of wrestling, or so it seemed at times in his past, will be proactive and bring wrestling back to Washington. None of that is in the show, just my own personal thoughts. TO THE SCORES! In Division II, top-ranked Lander beat Mount Olive 43-3. The Bearcats had SEVEN bonus victories and had ranked wins by Junior Downing at 149 and Brandon Matthews at 174. Downing used a third-period takedown and riding time to slip past 10th-ranked Dallas Wilson, while 12th-ranked Matthews topped seventh-ranked Calan Staub 13-8. UNC Pembroke beat Emmanuel 27-17. Tiffin beat Thomas More 39-13. Thomas More heavyweight Dalton Mayer still probably has the best hair in college wrestling. Down in South Carolina, Allen beat Lincoln Memorial 28-16 and St. Andrews of the NAIA 43-6. Speaking of the NAIA, You got to call Tyrone … a winner. Tyrone Lewis picked up his first victory as the new head coach at Baker University. The Wildcats earned five bonus victories, including Kevin Lund’s tech fall at 197 pounds to get past William Penn 24-22. Williams Baptist beat Lyon College 34-24 in an all-Arkansas tussle. Williams Baptist is in the NAIA, while Lyon is in its transitional process from the NAIA to NCAA Division III. On the women’s side, Lincoln Memorial earned its first win in program history, defeating Allen 25-10. Ashley Morris, Calista Gibson and Jenna Blinkewicz each got falls for the victorious RAILSPLITTERS! St. Andrews’ women beat Allen 18-13. Subscribe, for free, to my Daily Wrestling News.

Northern Iowa welcomes back Bob Bowlsby as interim Athletic Director
Bob Bowlsby was re-introduced at Northern Iowa on Wednesday as the school’s interim Athletic Director. A recent inductee into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame as an Outstanding American, Bowlsby recently retired as the commissioner of the Big 12 Conference. Bowlsby’s first job as an AD came at UNI where he’d worked with the department previous to his promotion to the role. He then left to take the reins at the University of Iowa before finishing the first run of his AD career at Stanford. Bowlsby fielded questions from the media on Wednesday as he was re-introduced to the Cedar Valley.

It’s Friday, and I’ll be heading back to my native lands this weekend after the Husky Hockey squad finishes up with Duluth. This is NOT a hockey podcast, it’s Short Time Shots, a look back at the day’s scores around college wrestling. Here’s what went down on Thursday. Second-ranked NC State dominated Army West Point 34-6. Jakob Camacho had a takedown and nearfall points late to break open a close bout to earn a 9-1 major decision over Army’s Ethan Berginc at 125 pounds. Ed Scott beat Nathan Lukez 14-8 at 157 and Dylan Fishback majored Ben Pasiuk 15-7 at 184 pounds. Minnesota rolled Bucknell in Lewisburg 37-3. Minnesota true freshman Tyler Wells continued to be the second most famous wrestler from Princeton, Minnesota behind Bob Backlund, but his college legend begins as he topped Kurt Phipps at 133 pounds. The Gophers picked up five bonus victories including falls by 125-pound All-American Patrick McKee and heavyweight Bennett Tabor. Tabor pinned Bucknell’s Dorian Crosby in sudden victory. Former EWL rivals met up in Pennsylvania as West Virginia bested Clarion 32-7. Bonus victories were registered by Jordan Titus at 141 pounds, Ty Watters at 149, Peyton Hall at 165, Dennis Robin at 184 and Michael Wolfgram at heavyweight. The Mountaineers came in ranked 24th this week. They improved to 4-0. In Division II, top-ranked Lander won eight of 10 to defeat UNC Pembroke 31-9. Lander opened up with second-ranked James Joplin edging 11th-ranked Logan Seliga 6-4 at 125 pounds. Lander’s Kaden Kuenzi picked off No. 11 Logan Robinson 8-7 at 133 pounds. The nationally ranked trio of David Hunsberger, Anthony Yacovetti and Juan Edmond-Holmes all picked up bonus victories on the night. Down in Missouri, Third-ranked St. Cloud State picked up a pair of wins, beating Central Missouri 37-11 and host Drury 46-5. The Mules did pick up a ranked win at 133 pounds where eighth-ranked Tommy Frezza majored ninth-ranked Caleb Meekins 11-1. St. Cloud State got one back at 165 pounds where fourth-ranked Anthony Herrera pinned eight-ranked John Ridle in the first period. Central Missouri beat Drury 47-4. Minnesota State Moorhead beat NAIA Jamestown 38-10. In Division III, 15th-ranked Coe beat Central 32-13 with All-American Will Esmoil and L.J. Richardson picking up bonus victories for the Kohawks, yes, with a K. Loras pounded the Beavers of Buena Vista 43-3. Augustana (Ill.) singed the Firebirds of Carthage 22-21 in the CCIW, while Augustana’s women beat Carthage 29-20. Pacific beat Linfield 34-24 on the men’s side, while Linfield’s women prevailed 20-18. In the NAIA, Dakota Wesleyan beat Northwestern (Iowa) 26-21, Ottawa (Kan.) beat York (Neb.) 43-7. The Ottawa women also beat York 40-10. Cornerstone topped NJCAA Henry Ford, the college, not the man, 48-3. Providence (Mont.) beat North Idaho of the NJCAA 39-3. Northeastern Oklahoma A&M beat Carl Albert State 33-8 in junior college action. Subscribe, for free, to my Dai

Short Time Shots: November 16, 2023
It’s Short Time Shots, a quick look at the day’s wrestling scores and more. I am on the struggle bus realizing that my dad jokes and bad jokes might only be funny to … one of you. Anyway, I’m Jason Bryant and here’s what you are catching up on for November 16. A wild crowd saw Division II Montevallo pick up the first home win in program history, a 27-16 triumph over NAIA Midway. Do yourself a favor, go to MontevalloW on Twitter and check out how boisterous the home crowd is. And remember folks, this is a first-year Division II program in ALABAMA. Montevallo is the first Division II program in Alabama since Jacksonville State, yes, it’s in Alabama, dropped the sport as a Division II school in 1981. The only other option would be Troy, then known as Troy State, which fielded a program in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Mount Olive upended King 23-17 but we saw something we typically don’t see in college wrestling and that’s someone bump UP to get the ranked matchup rather than bump away. With Mount Olive holding a 14-9 lead after 165, King bumped up seventh-ranked Trent Mahoney to take on Mount Olive’s seventh-ranked 174-pounder Calan Straub. Tied 5-5 after 1, Mahoney went up 8-5 in the second, but in the third, Straub earned the fall 43 seconds into the period in what turned out to be a crucial win for the Trojans. Heavyweight Jayln McClammy iced the dual with an 8-3 win at heavyweight for Mount Olive. Props for the move, it made for an exciting dual. 14th-ranked Pitt-Johnstown shutout East Stroudsburg 47-0 in PSAC competition. Ranked wins registered for the Mountain Cats by seventh-ranked Trevon Gray at 125 pounds, Jacob Ealy at 149 pounds, Dakoda Rogers at 197 and Isaiah Vance at 285 pounds. This also makes me feel quite old, because I covered Trevon Gray’s father Teante in high school. He actually wrestled the best man in my wedding multiple times. Coach Pat Pecora picked up career coaching win nine billion. Belmont Abbey shutout undermanned Bluefield State 56-0. Too many forfeits here. The Green Mountain Championship went the way of Vermont State University-Castleton, which beat Norwich 50-6. No, this is NOT a new school. The school formerly known as Castleon University merged with Vermont Technical College and Northern Vermont University to create Vermont State University. So with the unification, the name we are supposed to refer to the old Castleton Spartans is now Vermont State University-Castleton. Not Vermont State-Castleton. Vermont State University-Castleton. Also, in case you were wondering, Vermont is the Green Mountain State. Wayne Campbell celebrates as Aurora, which you should know is in Illinios, beat Milwaukee School of Engineering, also known as MSOE, 32-20. Angel Jaimes’ fall at 197 pounds sealed it for the host Spartans. No word if they have that Spartan Spirit as I cram TWO SNL references into one scoreline. Another traveling trophy was on the line

Short Time Shots: November 15, 2023
Bad college football, like that place in Ypsilanti with the ashtray for a football field. It’s Short Time Shots. I’m Jason Bryant. Wilmington’s program hasn’t been back that long, but the Quakers picked up a competitive 27-26 criteria win over Muskingum in what was decided by the FOURTH criteria. Can you name the fourth criteria without looking it up? Most can’t, so don’t be down on yourself. It’s most near fall points. The teams were tied in wins at five, tied in six-point victories with three each and tied with match points at 33 apiece. So it was Wilmington’s 10 nearfall points to Muskingum’s seven that was the difference. But when I wrote that first line, it got me digging. Coach Chris Basford is in his second year there and he started last season inheriting a roster of four guys. He ended with six. He’s got 20 now and trying to create some type of positive culture there. “This was a total team effort. It was a great win for our young program... the first in 6 years. It was priceless to see the faces of the guys getting their first college win to go along with a team win. They did a great job battling and picking each other up,” said Basford. So when was Wilmington’s last official dual win? Best I can find using the internet and all its archives - January 5, 2010 … which was a 25-22 win over Baldwin Wallace, which, was NOT good then. Speaking of Baldwin Wallace, they blanked Heidelberg 51-0 and what was dubbed MUSTACHE MANIA! I don’t know what Mustache Mania was, but it didn’t really matter what it was for Baldwin Wallace as they had four techs and three falls among their bonus victories. The fastest fall came at 197 pounds from Carter Lloyd, who got the match-ender at 1:50. In case you’re wondering, Coach Gibbs’ Baldwin Wallace team came into the season ranked third. Zac Stray’s major decision at heavyweight completed a large comeback by Otterbein as the Cardinals upended Mount Union 20-18. Otterbein was down 15-3 after four bouts and 15-6 halfway through the dual. North Central beat Carthage 44-3. Saint Vincent’s return to competition after 50 years away from the sport came up short as Penn State-Behrend bested the Bearcats 26-17 in Latrobe. The first win in the program’s revived history came from 133-pounder Ryan Klingensmith out of Kiski Prep. Behrend's Matthew Caldwell’s tech fall at 197 sealed it for the Lions - yes, pretty much all of the Penn State branch campuses are Lions or Nittany Lions or Roaring Lions or Tea Sipping Lions or something. In Division II, Coker edged Emmanuel 21-20 in a Conference Carolinas dual, with Coker heavyweight Hamilton Cooper getting an 8-0 major decision at 285 pounds to give Coker the win. But the win actually didn’t come on the extra bonus point. Emmanuel was docked a team point for unsportsmanlike conduct, so instead of the major sending the match to criteria, Coker won outright. And here’s the gut-punching kicker - Emma

Short Time Shots: November 11, 2023
It’s time for Short Time Shots, a quick look at the day in college wrestling. Did you know 15 years ago, Kyle Klingman and I launched our very first podcast called Wrestling 411. Yup, now over 3,000 episodes later, I’m still trying to figure this out. In Blacksburg, the raucous crowd at Cassell Coliseum was silenced both early and late as the eighth-ranked Buckeyes topped the fifth-ranked Hokies 24-12. The biggest win came at the jump as Brendan McCrone majored All-American Eddie Ventresca 11-3 at 125 pounds. With Ventresca leading in the second period, McCrone countered Ventresca to his back, picking up a seven point move and went from trailing 3-2 to up 9-3. Isaac Wilcox used a third-period takedown to upend Connor Brady 6-5 in a pivotal swing bout. Ryder Rogotzke’s dual meet debut at 184 pounds was a big one as the 2023 Junior Schalles Award winner scored his fifth fall of the year over Sam Fisher. Two freshmen Buckeyes - Luke Geog and Nick Feldman - would take wins over ranked opponents to close out the win for Tom Ryan’s squad. The Hokies did pick up three notable ranked wins - Caleb Henson beat Dylan D’Emilio at 149, Bryce Andonian beat high school teammate Paddy Gallagher at 157 and Mekhi Lewis beat Carson Kharchla at 174. Ninth-ranked Nebraska rolled past Campbell 37-4 in Lincoln. The Huskers earned six bonus victories and saw a stellar return from Peyton Robb at 157 pounds after his freak infection that nearly cost him his leg last offseason. The Huskers two best wins came at the first two weights as Lenny Pinto edged Caleb Hopkins 6-5 at 184 and Silas Allred beat Levi Hopkins 11-6 at 197 pounds. At Gallagher-Iba Arena, Oklahoma State won nine of 10 to top visiting Bucknell 38-6. The only stumble came at 174 pounds, where Oklahoma State injury defaulted late in the first period after an apparent hamstring injury from Brayden Thompson. Daton Fix and Dustin Plott each scored falls, while Troy Spratley at 125 and Luke Surber at 197 earned techs. Three straight bonus victories for Indiana at 174, 184 and 197 helped pull the host Hoosiers past upset-minded Rider 27-15 at historic Assembly Hall on Friday. Trailing 15-10, D.J. Washington picked up a technical fall over Mike Wilson, then transfer Roman Rogotzke pinned Isaac Dean in the third period at 184 pounds, the second big fall of the night for the Rogotzke family at the weight class. Up 21-16, Gabe Sollars slammed the door on Rider with a second-period fall over Azeem Bell at 197. Rider’s top win came at 149 pounds, where Quinn Kinner knocked off Graham Rooks, who’s ranked in the top 10 in most, if not all, of the rankings. Ned Shuck and the Bellarmine Knights opened up with a 49-0 win over Division II Kentucky Wesleyan Friday night in Louisville. Word is they got a pretty boisterous crowd down there for Coach Shuck. Out west, Wyoming rolled past host CSU Bakersfield 40-3. The Cowboys got falls from Riley Davis at 174

Short Time Shots: November 10, 2023
It’s time for Short Time Shots, a quick look at the day in college wrestling. The only Division I dual of the night saw the Roger Kish era begin in his home state as the Oklahoma Sooners topped Central Michigan 29-11 in Mount Pleasant. Kish, a four-time state champion from Lapeer West saw a wave of transfers impact the victory, including All-American Stephen Buchanan at 197 pounds. Other new faces to earn wins were Jace Koelzer at 133 pounds, Cael Carlson at 165 pounds and Giuseppe Hoose at 184. The Chippewas did get solid victories from Corbyn Munson at 149, Johnny Lovett at 157 and one of the last of the Monarch Gang, Alex Cramer at 174. In Division II, top-ranked Lander shutout Limestone 48-0 in Greenwood, South Carolina on Thursday. In case you hadn’t been paying attention, R.C. LaHaye has assembled a pretty formidable squad with the Lander Bearcats. All-Americans James Joplin, David Hunsberger and Juan Edmond-Holmes. Second-ranked West Liberty was also in action. The Hilltoppers got a scare from Mercyhurst as falls by top-ranked Ty McGeary at 184 and fourth-ranked Francesco Borsellino at 285 pushed West Liberty past the Lakers 24-20 in Erie. The top individual matchup went Mercyhurst’s way as sixth-ranked Dillon Walker majored third-ranked and returning All-American Alec Cook 15-3 at 165. Out on the western slope, No. 22 Western Colorado used the third criteria, most match points, to edge No. 18 Nebraska-Kearney 21-20. The Mountaineers were led by returning All-Americans Patrick Allis at 133 pounds and Cole Hernandez at 174. Allis teched Hector Serratos, while Hernandez topped Jacobi Deal 12-6. The Lopers wrestled without all five of their preseason ranked wrestlers and reported the dual on their own website as their B team competing. Welp, it was still on the schedule … Northern State, which is in SOUTH Dakota topped Fort Hays State 35-6. Colorado School of Mines meat-wadded Otero Junior College 56-0. No, that’s not a dig on Otero, just a nod to Mines’ coach Austin DeVoe. In Division III, Fifth-ranked UW-La Crosse blanked UW-Oshkosh 59-0. The math says six falls, three forfeits and a technical fall. That’s former Fargo champ Ben Kawczynski with the tech at 197, by the way. Cornell College dominated NAIA St. Ambrose 45-5. Elmhurst and Coach Steve Marianetti beat Augustana, the one in Illinois, 26-22. The Blue Jays got a win at heavyweight to pull that one out. Tenth-ranked Wabash topped Albion 25-10. All-American Charles Baczek earned a 3-0 victory over Owen McDaniel at 184 pounds. It’s the Little Giants first dual win under new head coach Jake Fredericksen, who assumed the role after longtime coach Brian Anderson left for a gig at Indiana University.

It’s another special episode of Short Time, this time with the audio from the webinar hosted on Tuesday, November 7 from the Baskerville Institute in Salt Lake City, Utah called “Grappling with Elimination. Hosted by the Baskerville Institute, a beacon for thought leadership and dialogue, this discussion titled "Grappling with Elimination" delves into the intense struggle faced by the wrestling community in 2013 when the sport was on the brink of Olympic exclusion. The panel features Nenad Lalovic, the President of United World Wrestling and an influential member of the International Olympic Committee. Under his leadership, UWW has played a crucial role in not only governing the sport but also in its expansion and the retention of its Olympic status. Joining him is Andrew F. Barth, known for his leadership beyond the mat as the retired chairman of Capital Guardian Trust Company and a trustee at Columbia University. Barth's passion for wrestling is evident through his founding of the Titan Mercury Wrestling Club and his pivotal role in the Committee to Preserve Wrestling, which was instrumental in the fight to keep wrestling in the Olympics. The episode also highlights the achievements of Adeline Gray, whose record-breaking career has not only set new standards in wrestling but has also been a testament to the sport's enduring legacy and appeal. Her perspective as the most decorated female wrestler in U.S. history adds a profound depth to the conversation on wrestling's Olympic journey.

Short Time Shots - November 9, 2023
SHORT TIME SHOTS It’s time for Short Time Shots, a quick look at the day in college wrestling. Montevallo recorded its first dual win in school history, beating Allen 32-15. The Falcons won seven out of ten bouts, which including two major decisions and three pins. They did lose to Newberry 31-14. Freshman Carson Freeman and Gabe Hixenbaugh (yes, that one) both went 2-0 for the night, with Freeman earning a pin and a decision, and Hixenbaugh securing a pin and a technical fall. Congrats to coach Daniel Ownbey and his fledgling flock of Falcons. Keeping it in Division II, King University edged Belmont Abbey 23-22 on criteria on Wednesday, with the key to the Tornado victory coming at 141 pounds where King’s Ashtan Hendricks was in a back-and-forth match with two-time All-American John Carayiannis before pulling out the fall in the second period to upset the nation’s second-ranked wrestler. The fall was key as both teams recorded a pair of falls and King came away with the win via the third criteria, most match points, which they had a 35-34 advantage. Frostburg State and coach Josh Hutchens is 3-0 in that program’s revived status. The Bobcats upended Fairmont State 21-20 on Wednesday. It was heavyweight heroics as Gavin Bage pinned Fairmont’s Ethan Babay midway through the first period to seal the come-from-behind victory. Moments earlier, it appeared as if Fairmont State would come away with a win as Dwayne “Not The Rock” Johnson earned a fall at 197 pounds. Bage decided that was a false finish and got the actually dual-winning fall 96 seconds later. So far this year, Frostburg State has beaten Wheeling and Garrett College and now Fairmont to improve to 3-0. Other scores of note in Division II saw East Stroudsburg beat D3 Scranton 42-8, Coker beat Lincoln Memorial 24-17, UNC Pembroke shut out Emory & Henry 58-0 and Mount Olive edged Emmanuel 20-19.

Hobbs pinned 11th-ranked Carl Hansen at 3:44. Elsewhere, Rochester, the one in Michigan, beat Henry Ford, the school, not the actual man, 42-9. In Junior College action, Western Wyoming turned informer, shutting out Snow 46-0. Iowa Western swept men’s and women’s duals with Ellsworth.

After 12 years, Mike Denney heads into a weekend of healing in Omaha
In episode 735 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, the spotlight shines on retired college wrestling coach Mike Denney, whose illustrious career spans over 51 years. Coach Denney reminisces on his 32-year tenure at the University of Nebraska Omaha (UNO), during which he clinched seven national team titles. The 2011 championship was particularly poignant as it was followed by the abrupt discontinuation of the wrestling program at UNO, a decision that sent shockwaves through the wrestling community. A momentous occasion awaits on Saturday, October 14, as Sapp Fieldhouse hosts a celebratory event honoring Coach Denney and his 2011 National Championship team, alongside 63 years of Nebraska-Omaha alumni.

Tackling Division I realignment from the wrestling perspective
A year ago, host Jason Bryant outlined one of the ways to renovate Division I wrestling with wholesale realignment. Much of that was dependent upon the NCAA Transformation Committee’s suggestions. That didn’t exactly put much to the sports other than its on them to figure it out. So as the chess pieces of realignment moved (read: football) based on TV rights deals, Olympic sports are now being thrown around, byproducts of those conferences chasing the almighty dollar. Today’s show will look at the recent shifts in Division I and how wrestling can react and potentially take hold of these shifts to create an equitable, fair and marketable layout for wrestling.

Terry Daniels: It's all his fault
Today, Short Time is a personal interview with someone you’ve never previously heard from, unless you happened to listen to a Hampton-based sports talk show called Contact Sports 20-something years ago. Few people had an impact on my life in sports more than Terry Daniels. Terry isn’t family, but he pretty much has been a part of it for the last 20 years. When I was in high school, Terry asked one day if I wanted to go to the wrestling match on a Wednesday in January of 1995. Some of you have heard me tell this story. Today on Short Time, you get to hear it from the man himself. A longtime resident of Poquoson, Virginia, Terry’s been a sports junkie for most of his life. His enjoyment of high school sports and local sports rubbed off an another sports junkie who loved high school sports and local sports in 1995, me. With a long career so far in wrestling and a new segment starting in hockey, Terry has the unique distinction of being the individual who introduced me to both of them. The first dual against Deep Creek to the Virginia Duals two days later and then mountains of Hampton Roads Admirals (now Norfolk Admirals) hockey games. Terry and my mom came to visit Minnesota in the winter time. Here’s that story and a conversation about hockey, wrestling, our friends from Poquoson and the people we have in common that led me down this road.

Coaching legend Rummy Macias turns 100
Rometo “Rummy” Macias wrestled at the University of Iowa in the 1940s. A two-time Big Ten champion, Macias finished second at the 1948 NCAA championships before starting the first wrestling team at what’s now known as Minnesota State University in Mankato, Minnesota. The Minnesota State family celebrated Macias’ birthday on October 17 as the diminutive dynamo celebrated his 100th trip around the sun. In attendance were Mavericks friends, fans and alumni and a number of his former wrestlers. This episode showcases the impact Macias had on the sport of wrestling, not just from a coaching perspective, but from a growth perspective as prior to Macias’ arrival in Minnesota, just over 30 high schools sponsored the sport. It wasn’t long after that over 300 sponsored it. Macias started the program at then Mankato State Teachers College in 1950 and coached there until 1988. He’s one of three coaches in program history. You’ll hear from former athletes and friends as well as current head coach Jim Makovsky and Macias himself (although the last bit of audio is very hard to hear, so my apologies in advance). Featured: Dale Roth, NAIA champion Al Blanshan, son David Macias, Division II champion Scott Madigan, longtime Washington & Lee head coach Gary Franke, Division II champion Jack Eustice, team manager Lance Peterson and longtime Minnesota wrestling leader Spencer Yohe.

It’s wrestling media day for Appalachian State wrestling, so we jumped on in and ended up creating a full episode of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast for it. Outside of the Hand Raised blog’s Ted Carreras, it was pretty much just me, coach JohnMark Bentley and four App State wrestlers ready for another run at the season. Before we get to the show, I touched on the news that TheMat Forums would be shutting down on October 31. I had a love-hate relationship with them.

Rider head coach John Hangey remembers the late Gary Taylor
Longtime Rider wrestling coach Gary Taylor passed away last month. After 39 years at the helm, he handed the keys to the Rider program to his longtime assistant coach John Hangey. On today’s episode of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we’ll talk with John Hangey as he enters his sixth year as the head coach at Rider. He’ll touch on his career and how he ended up at Rider, how he came back to Rider after serving as the head coach at Bucknell in the late 90s and what legacy Coach Taylor will leave on this world and in the world of wrestling. It’s notable as well that Rider wrestling received a half-million dollar donation from the Morrison family this week, laying the groundwork for a new wrestling practice facility, one that will bear Gary Taylor’s name. Five Morrisons have wrestled at Rider, including All-American Tim Morrison’s three sons - T.J., Rob and Clint.

Sports Illustrated's Pat Forde on swimming, sportswriting and realignment's impact on Olympic sports
For the last three years, Pat Forde has been a senior writer at Sports Illustrated. A native of Colorado Springs, Forde’s journalism career started upon his arrival at the University of Missouri. After nearly two decades at the Courier-Journal in Louisville, Kentucky, he’s spent the last decade writing college sports for Yahoo and then SI. Forde joins the Short Time Wrestling Podcast to give his unique perspective on being a national sportswriter who actually has that understanding of the world of the Olympic-sports athlete at the college level. His kids competed in swimming, with his daughter Brooke a medal-winning swimmer in Tokyo at the 2020 Olympic Games. We’ll talk to Pat about getting into the field, his podcast with colleagues Ross Dellenger and Dan Wetzel and things we need to keep an eye on from the NCAA Transformation Committee and the struggles the athletes we know about deal with.

20 years later, Limestone coach Brandy Green relished the chance to compete in Fargo
In 2002, USA Wrestling launched the first Junior Women’s Freestyle National Championships and the tournament joined the four men’s divisions in Fargo, North Dakota. The fifth tournament in Fargo would feature just over 100 young women. One of those first champions was Michigan’s Brandy Green, who then was known as Brandy Rosenbrock. Green was one of the first two women to ever win multiple titles in Fargo, joining Oregon’s Samantha Lang as two-timers with their championships in 2003. Green also competed at the 2004 Olympic Team Trials as part of the first group of women who wrestled for a chance to represent the U.S. at the Olympic Games. Now currently the head women’s coach at Limestone University in Gaffney, South Carolina, Green looks back on what the experience meant for her and what her experiences have done to help her train and coach the next generation of wrestlers as they compete on the mats in Fargo and have actual bonafide college wrestling opportunities where they were few and far between when Green was coming out of high school. This is the full interview from the women’s feature released by Mat Talk Online during Fargo back in July.

The fifth tournament in Fargo would feature just over 100 young women. One of those first champions was California’s Malinda Ripley. Twenty years later, you’ll still find Ripley on the floor in Fargo, coaching the women of Team California. In July of 2022, I caught up with Ripley to talk about what she remembers about the opportunity presented at that first championship, her drive to go “big game hunting” in chasing down Mary Kelly of Illinois and what it’s meant to her to coach a generation of girls who didn’t have to break down doors, rather just walk through them as they were opened by people like Ripley.

New Central Missouri head coach Cody Garcia begins his own legacy
Cody Garcia was a four-time NCAA Division II All-American and two-time champion at powerhouse Nebraska-Omaha under coach Mike Denney. Garcia, the son of a coach himself, started his career at his alma mater after finishing up with his eligibility in 2009. Most in wrestling know what happened in Omaha at the end of the 2011 season, but Garcia moved on to coach at two NAIA schools in Kansas. His first stop would be Bethany before spending the last seven years leading the Wildcats of Baker University in Baldwin City, Kansas. Garcia returns to Division II as the 10th coach at Central Missouri, the same place where his father Mike won an NCAA Division II title in 1982. On Episode 705 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, I talk with Garcia about his path through Omaha, wrestling for Coach Denney at “the other place,” and his return to Division II. Garcia also touches on going into the UNO Hall of Fame despite the school no longer fielding its championship wrestling program and the emotion involving the experience as well as the dynamic of the coaching tree of his college coach impacting the landscape of Division II wrestling in Missouri.

Wrestling coach and author J.D. Oliva launches his next trilogy of novels
J.D. Oliva is carving out quite the career for himself as a fiction writer. The wrestling coach at Illinois’ DeKalb High School is publishing a trilogy of books via Kickstarter with his new series, The Wolf Stone Saga. Link: http://kck.st/3EpOqae Oliva also writes on the topic of professional wrestling for FightGameMedia and the first half of our show talks about the crossover with professional wrestling and collegiate and international level wrestling, some of its origins and our thoughts on what the WWE and professional wrestling in general will do with stars like Gable Steveson, A.J. Ferrari and Jacob Kasper either headed to the business or signed to pursue the venture following their competitive years.

New Oregon State assistant coach Josh Rhoden is Ready for the Next Dam Chapter
For the past 16 years, Josh Rhoden has been leading the Cougars of Clackamas Community College to new heights in the NJCAA. After winning the program’s sixth national championship - and fourth in a row - Rhoden jumped at the opportunity to head to Division I, joining the coaching staff at Oregon State. Rhoden assumed the role at Clackamas as a 26-year-old alum of the school, leaving after Mike Haluska took to take the job at Portland State. Thrown into the fire, Rhoden taught himself how to grow up, be a coach, recruit with the nation’s best and most importantly, hustle. On Episode 702 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Rhoden talks about moving on from the past 16 years of his life to chase new goals and dreams. Rhoden’s coached wrestlers who went on to compete at every level of college wrestling.

Ed Giese takes another coaching path, this time to Budapest
During the 2022 European Championships at BOK Sportcsarnok, I sat down with Illinois native and 1986 Division I All-American Ed Giese. Ed goes through his years wrestling in Illinois, competing at Minnesota in an era before J Robinson was coaching there, wrestling with Foxcatcher and help train the next level of wrestlers in Illinois through his work at Team Overtime with current Michigan head coach Sean Bormet. Ed will then chat about what he’s doing in Hungary and how he’s made the adjustment to coaching women at the international level, most of whom have a developmental background much, much different than any wrestlers he’s ever coached before.

Mic'd Up Matside with Augsburg's Tony Valek
Sometimes we get an opportunity to put new gear to use and try to come up with new features to bring another perspective to coverage and content. Episode 698 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast is just that. With some new wireless devices used to record audio, I hit record on Augsburg co-head coach Tony Valek during the annual Battle of the Burgs dual on January 27 in Minneapolis. What this episode highlights is Valek’s coaching style just as the meet begins, during the competition and how he gets athletes ready during the moments before competing, during injury time and some interactions with the staff as they go through a heated dual meet. Set to background music, this can be consumed as a passive listening experience or listened closely to see how certain coaches are in mat side situations. Will there be more of these? That’s dependent on the feedback. We have two so far - both coming from Battle of the Burgs. Eric Keller, Wartburg head coach, will be released soon.

Amid non-Division I powers, Portillo twins match exemplifies wrestling's awesomeness
Iowa natives Justin and Josh Portillo have been battling each other their entire lives. The twin 125-pounders took that sibling rivalry to the next level on January 15 when Josh's Nebraska-Kearney Lopers hosted Justin's Grand View Vikings an a dual between two of the top programs outside of Division I. The bait? UNK was trying to snap Grand View's college wrestling record win streak, which stood at 111 going into the dual. The hook? The twin brothers would wrestle each other in the dual's final bout, presumably with the dual meet outcome - and potentially the streak - on the line.

Sipping some of that wrestling internet tea with Stalemates founder Zach Bogle
Zach Bogle started a current events wrestling outlet called Stalemates in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. With no wrestling, what else did wrestling people get to do to try to stay busy? It was like an extended offseason. Enter Bogle and Stalemates, which summed up the “Twitter tea” with weekly episodes, guests, goofy memes and a general breath of fresh air the wrestling world needed. Stalemates also ushered in another wrestling card concept, with a lot of former wrestlers and weekend warriors mixing things up in the Stalemates Street League. The second iteration will be coming October 29 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines. Fans can subscribe to Stalemates via Patreon (patreon.com/stalemates) to watch for $3.99. We get a little bit into Bogle’s wrestling background and the Stalemates origin story before talking bout social media, wrestling and general goofiness as most wrestling people do.

#WrestlingShirtADayInMay founder and wrestling advocate Jim Dutrow
Three years ago, Short Time host Jason Bryant (that’s me) did a #WrestlingShirtADay challenge with some wrestling fans. The end result was 366 days of different wrestling shirts to promote the sport. After the drop of wrestling at some wannabe school in Norfolk, Virginia, Jim Dutrow wanted to do more to draw awareness to our sport and the #WrestlingShirtADayInMay movement was born. Dutrow, a Virginia native and former college wrestler at some school in Harrisonburg that also dropped wrestling, launched the initiative as a way to recognize schools with wrestling and thank them for their support. The second year #WrestlingShirtADayInMay has seen over 150 wrestling fans showcase over 1,000 shirts and counting just 10 days into the month.

San Francisco Chronicle columnist Ann Killion keeps calling Stanford out
Longtime sports journalist Ann Killion of the San Francisco Chronicle joins the Short Time Wrestling Podcast to talk about the situation at Stanford. Now a columnist after impressive career stops at the Los Angeles Times, San Jose Mercury News and Sports Illustrated, Killion’s job is to offer her perspective on topics in and around sports and the Stanford drop of 11 sports definitely got her attention. Killion and I will talk about why this is an important topic for a columnist to pay attention to, what the local media’s role is in talking about topics like this which are often overlooked due to reader surveys and topics that “don’t sell papers,” and why Stanford’s leadership should be held accountable and have to actually answer for their decisions. Killion also points out some of the fallacies in the posted rationale and what’s happened with Stanford sports since the announcement last summer.

Looking back and some Olympic Team Trials Memories
This coming week, we’ll finally have the U.S. Olympic Team Trials for what will be the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo. Originally scheduled for Penn State’s Bryce Jordan Center, Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas is now the host city. Texas last hosted the Trials in 2000 to then-record crowds. The pandemic will limit attendance, but we’ll still have three styles of wrestling looking to crown champions who will earn the right to represent the United States. On this episode of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, I’ll look back at the previous six Olympic Trials I’ve worked - four in the U.S. and two in Canada - and talk about some of the memorable moments from them. It starts in 2004 in Indianapolis, then on to Las Vegas in 2008, then Iowa City in 2012 and 2016 and then north of the border in suburban Edmonton in 2015 and Niagara Falls in 2019. Those dates don’t line up? I’ll explain some on-the-mat and off-the-mat schedules that make things unique in the U.S. and in Canada.

Who hit the podium for the fourth time in 2021?
One of the best parts for the statistically and historically minded is the weeks following the close of the men’s college wrestling seasons. Well, almost the close, since the NJCAA championships are coming up in April. The women’s college seasons ended with the NAIA Invitational and the long-named event for the NCAA schools, but they haven’t hit four events yet, so there’s no four-timers to discuss. On Episode 649, we get off the podcast hiatus after four weeks on the road and look at the placements of the 17 wrestlers who earned All-American honors by placing at their respective national tournaments at the Division I, Division II, Division III and NAIA level.

New Avila head coach Graham Karwath and his unusual career in college coaching
Graham Karwath wasn't ready for college wrestling. The Louisiana native had a solid high school career on the mats, but after graduating, he hung around and began coaching. When trying to get his younger brother recruited to college, Karwath crossed paths with then-Williams Baptist head coach Kerry Regner. His path to college coaching began as a student assistant coach before taking over head coaching positions at two schools how consolidated and closed in back-to-back years before he landed the men's and women's coaching job at Avila University in Kansas City, Missouri. What a long, strange path it's been. Hear about it now on Short Time! All that news and more … Daily Wrestling News, delivered every day, free.

Making a difference in Little Rock is more than just wrestling
Little Rock hosted its first home event of the year on January 17 at the Jack Stephens Center against Oklahoma State and SIUE. The tri-meet launched the second season of Little Rock wrestling on the mats. Coach Neil Erisman, an Oklahoma State alum, sat down to talk about the progress of the program in the second year of competition, what it’s like to bring in new wrestlers with something tangible to show rather than just a vision, and the investment a coach feels when they lose an athlete who doesn’t want to compete anymore. Erisman also explains some of the things that aren’t taught, but learned on the job, such as working with mentors from the community, giving back with community outreach as well as his relationships with assistant coaches Javier Maldonado and Chandler Rogers.

Des Moines Register wrestling writer Cody Goodwin on the changing face of sports media
There’s been a long time between the time I spoke with Cody Goodwin of The Des Moines Register for International Podcast Day. We’d just finished up with the Night of Conflict out in Sioux City, Iowa and were conversing about the state of wrestling coverage. Part of that wrestling coverage discussion is here on Episode 644 of Short Time where the 2019 NWMA National Wrestling Journalist of the Year talks about his foray into podcasting with In The Room, how he talked his bosses at the paper into starting one and how he’s used the medium to cover angles that don’t often get the space in the paper. You can listen to In The Room wherever podcasts are found (or by clicking here). SHORT TIME SHOTS I went almost two and a half hours on Saturday night as what was supposed to be Burroughs-Taylor turned into Adeline-Tamyra. To be balanced, it would be Gray-Mensah-Stock, but that’s too many hyphens to write out cleanly. What did I go two and a half hours with? Watchin’ Wrestling. This was the idea when I built the Speakeasy and I want to thank Bryan Hazard, Tony Rotundo, Zach Bogle, J.P. Pearson, Dysen Gould, Earl Smith, Jeremy Lanthorn and Austin Early for joining in the discussion. We sat around, had some beverages (not Dysen) and watched the wrestling and talked about it. It’s what I’ve always wanted to do with this studio. Burroughs and Taylor will face off on January 13 on Flowrestling as Taylor had some contact tracing that forced him to delay. Speaking of Burroughs, he was on The Joe Rogan Experience, which is a Spotify exclusive, for a while. I’m still trying to finish it because it was a long episode, but so far, we as a sport are better because we have such great ambassadors like Jordan Burroughs. The NWCA released the new Top 25 today and Illinois and Michigan State entered the Top 25, giving the Big Ten 12 teams ranked in the Top 25 for the first time in history. Michigan State started out the year ranked at No. 21, but dropped out after a week. The Spartans popped back in and prior to the preseason ranking two weeks ago, the last time a wrestling team based in East Lansing was ranked on the college mats was 2009. Northern Colorado moved up to No. 23. Bear down. Also, checked the mail today and got some socks and a t-shirt from Dr. Joe Parisi, an administrator at Central Methodist University and former head wrestling coach at Lindenwood. Also in the mail was the sweatshirt I got from contributing to San Francisco State University. Hat tip to Jason Welch. Too bad the Gators aren’t wrestling this year.

Afsoon Johnston and her remarkable, trailblazing path
Afsoon Johnston, then known as Afsoon "Sue" Roshanzamir, was the first world medalist in women's wrestling back in 1989. Afsoon will talk about the book, Afsoon, written by Craig Sesker, that tells the story of how she and her family fled Iran in the early 1980s and landed in California. Her journey made her somewhat of an outcast in an era where tensions between the U.S. and Iran were high. She gravitated towards wrestling, a sport where girls were rare. Afsoon's breaks down the story of how the book came to be and discusses some of the turmoil she experienced growing up as a teen and as a wrestler. You can get the book at AfsoonWrestling.com SHORT TIME SHOTS Well, we’ve got Division I teams taking the mats all over the place and before I get corrected by my own correction, college wrestling has been ongoing since early November and that does include Division I. On November 14, The Citadel wrestled a home dual. The NAIA has been less prolific than normal, but they’ve had dual meets consistently. Now we have schedules for most of the 71 teams competing this year on the Division I mats. There’s a handful of Division II schools that aren’t competing - the schools in the PSAC, most notably. Division III has seen a number of conferences opt out, but the only all-sports conference where every school sponsors wrestling in Division III is the American Rivers Conference, formerly known as the Iowa Conference. We’ll see some Division III fire up this weekend. Speaking of Division III, Case Western Reserve head coach Danny Song stepped down from his post yesterday. Case is one of those schools that opted out of sports this winter. Before we get to the weekend’s action, we had a couple of matches in Division II on Tuesday. Coker topped Emmanuel 31-18 down in Franklin Springs, Georgia, while fifth-ranked McKendree shut out Kentucky Wesleyan 51-0 on the strength of five falls. Tyler Delaware picked up a 9-5 win at 133, he’s a transfer from some poorly ran Division I school in Norfolk, Virginia. The NWCA Division I Coaches Poll was released on Tuesday and for the first time since the Nixon administration, Northern Colorado is nationally ranked. The last time the Bears were ranked by the NWCA was when they were sixth heading into the postseason on March 5, 1969. The school wasn’t even known as Northern Colorado yet, it was still Colorado State College. The University of Northern Colorado’s name came to be in 1970. With five returning NCAA qualifiers the Bears topped Wyoming 24-19 over the weekend and with both teams receiving votes last week, that was all Troy Nickerson’s squad needed to jump in at No. 25. But wait, Northern Colorado wasn’t Division I until like 2008 or something right? True, but prior to the three divisional format, the NCAA championship was open and there were college and university divisions. Prior to 1963, there was only one NCAA championship. Schools like Northwestern would routinely dual teams like Wheaton and Elmhurst. The artist forme

In his own words, Sgt. Slaughter on the late Danny Hodge
The wrestling world lost Danny Hodge on Christmas Eve. The only wrestler to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated for his wrestling credentials, Hodge was a standout in three varieties of the sporting world - collegiate and international wrestling, boxing and professional wrestling. As Hodge became one of the favorites in the world of professional wrestling, he worked and trained with hundreds of would-be superstars, including Robert Remus, an Eden Prairie, Minnesota native who would later become one of the most iconic superstars in the business, Sgt. Slaughter. After Hodge’s passing, Sarge wrote a letter to the National Wrestling Hall of Fame recalling his memories of Danny Hodge.

Kicking off the Keep Fresno State Wrestling movement
On October 16, California State University, Fresno announced it was dropping men’s tennis, women’s lacrosse, and for the second time in school history, men’s wrestling. After a decade-long quest to bring the sport back to campus in 2016, a new quest has been started by Keep Fresno State Wrestling. In conjunction with USA Wrestling, the National Wrestling Coaches Association and Flowrestling, the Keep Fresno State Wrestling group will kickoff its official efforts on Monday, December 21 at 6 p.m. Pacific with a panel of wrestling coaches, athletes, and alumni. That discussion will be streamed live on Flowrestling.org and also available via Zoom. The panel will highlight and celebrate the strong history of Fresno State wrestling, not just with its on the mat successes, but the post-collegiate success and leadership of its alumni in the Central Valley and the state of California. Among those participating with local Fresno ties are former head coach Dennis DeLiddo, current Beat the Streets Los Angeles Executive Director Yero Washington, and wrestling World medalist, Olympian and UFC champion Daniel Cormier, who is the high school wrestling coach at Gilroy High School, two hours west of Fresno. Current Fresno State athletes are also expected to participate. Also included in the discussion will be World and Olympic champions John Smith, the current head coach at Oklahoma State and Jordan Burroughs. The panel will be moderated by Hall of Fame wrestling broadcaster Jason Bryant. “We feel this is a valuable opportunity for the wrestling community to be able to share in the development of what the alumni is doing to try to keep the program at Fresno State,” said Mike Moyer, Executive Director of the NWCA. “The Keep Fresno State Wrestling efforts are just ramping up and it’ll be important for the public to understand the goals and mission, fundraising and pledges to make sure we don’t lose another valuable institution in a state that has the highest participation of wrestlers in the country at the high school level.” The Keep Fresno State Wrestling effort wants to highlight the importance of wrestling in the Central Valley, the state of California and the entire sport as a whole. Wrestling is insanely popular in the Fresno area and the opportunity to tap into a successful pool of potential Fresno State students is high. The opportunities offered for wrestling from public institutions at the collegiate level greatly underserve the demand on sheer participation numbers alone. “There is a lot at stake here with Fresno State announcing that for the second time, their program would be eliminated,” said Brendan Buckley, a Fresno State alum and the current Executive Director of Beat The Streets New York, a non-profit organization whose aim is to make a Lifelong Impact on New York City student-athletes through the benefits and skills acquired by participating in amateur wrestling. “There is a strong legacy at play and one that has been the crown jewel for Fres

Casey Moss has more to his game than daytime TV and The Last Champion
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.

Former wrestler Michael Madden plays Deck Hines in The Last Champion
Washington native and former University of Jamestown wrestler Michael John Madden joins the Short Time Wrestling Podcast to talk about his role as Deck Hines in The Last Champion. Madden was a 2009 state qualifier in Washington for White River High School in Buckley. He wrestled for a season at NAIA Jamestown in North Dakota before leaving school to pursue acting. SHORT TIME SHOTS (it’s the scores and such, people) In the NAIA, Grand View broke one of college wrestling’s oldest records as the Vikings went 3-0 at the Winter Clash Duals at Missouri Valley to break the all-time dual meet win streak mark. The old record of 92 by SUNY-Delhi was set from 1979-1982. Grand View tied the record earlier this month. In the first dual of the day, Grand View topped ninth-ranked Marian (Ind.) to earn the 93rd in a row to take possession of the record. The Vikings then beat Cumberland University 31-16 and shut out Texas Wesleyan 49-0. I’ll have more breakdowns about Grand View on my Rokfin channel at rokfin.com/mattalkonline. We lost some valued members of the wrestling community over the past few days. Former San Francisco State head coach Lars Jensen passed away last week. Jensen kept the team alive on numerous occasions, but one of the most impressive performances of coaching came in 1997 when he led the Gators to the NCAA Division II wrestling national championship - all without scholarships. Jensen was a legend in the coaching world and a fantastic person. There’s more in the show notes. Read more. Earlier this year, I tracked down Pitt-Johnstown head coach Pat Pecora for a two-part series when he set the collegiate wrestling record for most dual meet wins as a head coach. One of the names he talked about during that interview was four-time All-American John Revesz. In the tradition that is UPJ wrestling, there are always those who come first and those who set the standard for a program - Revesz was it for UPJ - as he was he program’s first four-time All-American. He passed away on Friday due to complications brought on by COVID-19. He was 59. Read more. Finally, we lost an active competitor last week as Virginia Beach native and Johns Hopkins University wrestler Bradlee LaMontagne passed tragically in a boating accident. While I didn’t know Bradlee personally, there were connections not just to my home state and home area of Virginia, but Bradlee’s mom is a patron of the network. Bradlee’s uncles are longtime supporters of wrestling, including the Great Neck Wrestling Club, Cox High School and the former program at ODU. Bradlee picked Johns Hopkins, a Division III school in Baltimore because he wanted to change the world. From everything I knew about him, from high school coaches who coached against him, his college coach Keith Norris, and those in Virginia and specifically those who populate Shorebreak in Virginia Beach, he was a shining star. This kid was going to indeed back up the claim he was going to

Writing and directing The Last Champion with Glenn Withrow, Hallie Todd and Ivy Withrow
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 If you missed my interview with Cole Hauser, you can find at mattalkonline.com/hauser SHORT TIME SHOTS (it’s the scores and such, people) Thursday, December 3 William Penn 27, Baker 26 Baker 33, Central Methodist 21 For the first time in school history, the Statesmen beat the Wildcats. Ray Lugo iced the dual with a fall at 197, pinning Kenny Hartzell at 6:45.

Another ODU transfer came up big for Cumberland as River Henry, beat No. 8 Austin Lane 11-5. In a matchup of ranked heavyweights, All-American Patrick DePiazza topped Marian’s sixth-ranked Ethan Bunce 8-1. Saturday, December 5 Graceland went 4-0 at the Vikings Duals at Missouri Valley as did the host Vikings … of Missouri Valley.

Earl Smith breaking down the Vengeance in Virginia on December 6
[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.

Cole Hauser talks about his role as a former wrestler and coach in The Last Champion
John Wright is a disgraced American wrestler who finds himself back in his hometown with a chance at redemption. Cole Hauser plays Wright as he returns to his hometown and finds himself back near a wrestling mat after years away. On this episode of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Jason Bryant talks with Hauser about the role, the release and production of the film and how he approached taking on a role of a wrestler and wrestling coach for the film. The film gets released digitally on Apple iTunes, Google Play and Amazon Prime on December 8. Find out more about the film at http://www.thelastchampion.com/ SHORT TIME SHOTS (the scores and such) Typically Monday is a wasteland for college wrestling results, it’s one reason why when I coordinate the NWCA Division I Coaches Poll, the results go through the previous week’s results that end on Sunday. I tabulate the poll votes on Monday and then release on Tuesday. But this is no regular year. Monday saw a handful of results, including a tri-meet hosted by Thomas More against Lindsey Wilson and Rio Grande, which was making its collegiate wrestling debut. The first time out wasn’t super great for Rio Grande, coached by former Kansas Wesleyan head coach Jason Schweer. Lindsey Wilson ran through the Redstorm (one word) 57-0. The Blue Raiders also blanked Thomas More 48-0. Things weren’t much better for Rio Grande in their second dual of the day as they fell to Thomas More 57-0. Midway, a second-year program in the NAIA, picked up two wins on Wednesday night. The Eagles, who are located in Midway, Kentucky, topped Truett McConnell 27-14 and the first-year program at St. Thomas, the one in Florida, 32-21 in a tri-meet held at Truett McConnell. The other match saw Truett McConnell beat St. Thomas 38-15. Division II Fairmont State has selected Colin Johnston as its second wrestling coach. Johnston, a Pennsylvania native and alum of West Virginia University, takes over for Chris Freije, who left to become an assistant coach at Lander University in South Carolina. Johnston was previously the head coach at Division III Pitt-Bradford. Anthony Jones Jr. was tabbed as the new associate head coach at Division III Olivet under head coach Brandon Brissette. Jones was an assistant at his alma mater of Michigan State prior and he’s got Division III coaching experience, helping start the program at Adrian under current MSU assistant Chris Williams, who served as the head coach at Adrian.

Cam Tessari and Drew Tewell on the screenplay for the #CamTessariMovie project
Cam Tessari was one of the top high school wrestlers in the country. On a team with high school superstars Logan and Hunter Stieber and Chris Phillips, the "Monroeville Four" were destined for college greatness. Phillips never wrestled in college, while the Stiebers and Tessari went to Ohio State. All were All-Americans with Logan winning four NCAA Division I wrestling championships. Tessari placed as a freshman, then his off the mat issues sent him down a destructive path. A second chance wasted, then a final one with Lindsey Wilson College. Drew Tewell wrote the screenplay of a movie about Cam's life as he rebounded to win an NAIA national championship his senior year. Drew and Cam join the Short Time Wrestling Podcast to talk about the screenplay and the true life choices and consequences. Check things out at CamTessariMovie.com LEADING OFF There was a tweet from Adam Nelson, a former college basketball coach who talked about today NOT being the start of college basketball season because the NAIA and small colleges have been playing for quite a while. That’s true with wrestling and I’m going to continue to belabor the point that if you’re a wrestling fan, let’s branch out and be a wrestling fan. There’s a lot of teams that don’t get any love, but they’re out there competing. Some might even be within a reasonable drive when we get back to normal or some might have a kid who’s from your hometown. I’ve had kids from my hometown compete in D1, D2, D3 the NAIA, NJCAA through the NCWA. Following those kids helped me keep up with the York College’s of the world, the Labette’s. That being said, onto Tuesday’s college wrestling scores, because YES, there IS college wrestling going on. Of course, if you’ve listened to this show enough, you know that top-ranked Grand View is approaching history. Scratch that, they’ve tied history as Tuesday night, the Vikings blanked Benedictine (Kan.) 55-0 for its 92nd straight dual win, tying the all-time college record with SUNY-Delhi from 1979-1982. Grand View sets out to break the record on December 10 at Baker. Grand View picked up seven falls in the win, the fastest coming in 20 seconds from 125-pounder Matthew Jordan. Briar Cliff 44, Dakota Wesleyan 6 Chris Paulsen and Caleb “Tornado” Shanks each picked up falls for Joe Privetere’s Chargers. Yes, THAT Joe Privetere. Hastings 39, Midland 15 This one was nutty with all 10 bouts scoring bonus points, including six falls. Unfortunately for Midland, Hastings picked up four of those falls and a forfeit. Northwestern (Iowa) 30, William Penn 27 This one came down to heavyweight as Northwestern College, the one in Iowa, got a fall from Chris Van Der Brink in the first period to give the Red Raiders, from Orange City, the Great Plains Athletic Conference victory over the Statesmen.

Wrestling podcaster Ryan Warner has one simple question for you
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. Check it out at wrestlinghcangedmylife.com. 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.

IAwrestle's Tony Hager and the podcast tech within wrestling
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.

Launching the Etched in Stone podcast series with NCAA champion and show architect Pat Christenson
Pat Christenson has spent the last 19 years as the President of Las Vegas Events, which has helped bring major sporting events and such to Las Vegas. He’s been a key person behind the bid process for the NCAA championships for Las Vegas in all sports. He was also instrumental in the 2008 Olympic Trials and 2015 World Championships coming to Las Vegas. As a wrestler, Christenson won the 1976 NCAA Division I championship at 167 pounds as an unseeded senior for the University of Wisconsin. He’s got long relationships in the sport and he’s using that to springboard a new podcast series supported by the the National Wrestling Hall of Fame and USA Wrestling called Etched in Stone, a podcast that’s aimed at telling compelling and interesting stories about the 179 Distinguished Members of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame. That podcast launches on November 17. Christenson talks about the project and the idea behind it, who’s involved and why Mark Churella is the lead-off series in the first season. Listen to Etched in Stone on your favorite podcatcher starting November 17. LEADING OFF What you know already is USA Wrestling held the U23 and UWW Junior Nationals in Omaha this past weekend. All the results are on FloArena, all the recaps you can find on TheMat.com or via my daily wrestling newsletter at mattalkonline.com/news. Jordan Burroughs beat Zahid Valencia, highlighting a seven-bout card on Flowrestling on Saturday. Word already circulating that David Taylor and Mr. Burroughs will meet at some point in December. Again, those results on Flo. WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW College wrestling is actually going on some places around the country. Adrian College hosted an invitational over the weekend, which it won. It also hosted a women’s open. Host Adrian won the men’s invitational and had three champs, while Indiana Tech had three and Thomas More two. On the women’s side, Adrian and Indiana Tech had four champs each with UW-Stevens Point also picking up one gold. The Citadel became the first Division I school to take to the mats this season, beating St. Thomas of Florida 54-0 in their opener. The Bobcats are a first-year NAIA program in Miami Gardens, Florida. Other scores over the weekend saw Concordia (Neb.) beat Dakota Wesleyan 34-6 and Brewton-Parker edge first-year Montreat 25-21. Those both in the NAIA. For the college scores, I’d recommend you go to trackwrestling.com and click “Seasons” and click the appropriate year and division of your choice for quick access to the matches we do have this season. That isn’t a complete list, but guess what, since we’ve got this section at the beginning of the show, that’ll be where Short Time Shots kinda sits ahead of these interviews, so you get your news here, your reviews here, your previews and interviews on the back half!

Hitting record on your wrestling conversation with Bloodround's Tommy Baranoski
One half of the pair behind the Michigan-based, alcohol-induced Bloodround Wrestling Podcast. Tommy Baranoski spent most of his wrestling career trying to come from behind the shadow of his sister's wrestling credentials. Now Baranoski has done fine in the year of our Lord Gable in podcasting. In all seriousness, Baranoski and co-host Kevin Claunch have taken the discussions we have as fans at bars at the NCAAs annually to the podcast form and they’ve done it for over 300 episodes, a milestone often not seen in podcasting, especially with guys who spend half their shows inebriated talking about the greatest sport in the world. Also: I chime in on the news of the day, mainly how we’re all paying attention to a little trial going on in the Travis County 261st district down in Texas.

Johnny J. Rock Johnson and RAW 241 has been delivering talent for years
One of the more underrated wrestling club coaches in the nation is past Division III All-American Johnny “J Rock” Johnson out of New Jersey. Picking up wrestling as a freshman in high school, Johnson placed three times for what was then known as Trenton State College at the NCAA Division III championships. After getting into college coaching at his alma mater under the legendary Dave Icenhower, Johnson ended up taking Brett Matter under his wing. A few years later, RAW 241 was born and a new wrestling pedigree permeated wrestlers from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware with a ferocious style of wrestling that highlighted neutral wrestling. A long line of accomplished wrestlers came through RAW 241 and we find out how that all developed, as well as some chatter about marketing, mat size, singlets and the nuances of why the anklet is pointless.

Colorado's greatest wrestling upset documented in Unmatched
Brady Buck grew up in the blue collar town of Wray in Eastern Colorado. A wrestler as a youth, he gravitated towards other sports before heading to college at Duke University in North Carolina. He always kept up with wrestling as a fan, but something drew him to tell the story about one of the greatest upsets high school wrestling in the West had ever known. On Episode 615 of Short Time, Buck talks about chronicling the journey of Brett Roller and his quest to win a state title and stop Tom Clum from becoming the first undefeated four-time state champion in state history.

Wrestling coach and author J.D. Oliva talks novels, comics, Fargo and even pro wrestling
J.D. Oliva’s spends a lot of his time coaching high school wrestlers at DeKalb High School in Illinois. The former Northern Illinois University wrestler also has carved out his own career, much of which started with a small wrestling movie called 7 Minutes and a highlight show called The Wrestling Recap, which was a short-lived “Daily Show” of wrestling back in 2005. On Episode 614 of Short Time, Oliva talks about his latest project, his ninth book called Harvest Moon, a horror thriller which he’s been raising funds for via kickstarter (bit.ly/jdoliva), the geekery that is comic books, super heroes and professional wrestling as well as the crossover between those topics and wrestling.

Romania's Simona Buibar and her unique journey with wrestling
Romanian national team member Simona Buibar hasn’t been wrestling very long. In fact, she started four years ago at age 18 and has already represented her native country in two World-level competitions - the U23 World Championships and the World Military Games. On Episode 612 of Short Time, Buibar explains her interesting journey through the sport that’s brought her to the United States to train at Arizona State, her growth in developing the skills to improve coming from another sporting background as well as the challenges she’s cleared with the sport and how the sport’s given her strength to defend herself off the mat.

Cadet and Junior Nationals King: David Kjeldgaard won 11 medals and eight championships
With no Fargo this year, it’s a fine opportunity to go back through the history books and talk to the most accomplished Cadet and Junior age-group wrestler in USA Wrestling history. It’s not Cael Sanderson or Kyle Snyder or John Smith, rather, Council Bluffs, Iowa native and former Oklahoma Sooner David Kjeldgaard. Now working in Texas, Kjeldgaard was one of three 11-time All-Americans at the two age-groups and is one of two wrestlers to ever win eight championships between Cadet (now 16U) and Juniors. He’s the only wrestler in American wrestling history to place 11 times and win eight titles. On Episode 611 of Short Time, we’ll talk with Kjeldgaard, who’s college career was riddled with injuries, as he looks back on his age-group success and how he recovered from a disappointing college career. The show also kicks off with a story from Jacque Davis from the #HowSheWrestles campaign.

Dr. David Ridpath and a conversation on the world of college sports
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.

Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Luke Broadwater on the values and lessons of wrestling
Journalist Luke Broadwater helped his paper, The Baltimore Sun, earn a 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Local Reporting with his investigative work in breaking and covering the Healthy Holly story in Maryland last year that involved the mayor of Baltimore, Catherine Pugh. It’s just another title the Maryland native can add to his resume. What’s also on there? Wrestler and coach. On Episode 604 of Short Time, Broadwater talks about what it took to break that news story, how the real world of local reporting differs from those attacking media as “fake news” and his background as a high school wrestler at McDonogh, a Division III wrestler at Ithaca and a college coach at the NCWA program at Maryland-Baltimore County. It’s engaging and interesting if you like the world of breaking news or talking about the old days and what you remember learning from your coach.

ESPN's Quint Kessenich and his life in wrestling
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.

The pigskin perspective on the drop of wrestling with former ODU football coach Bobby Wilder
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.

Brown alum C.J. LaFragola became a three-sport athlete after grad transfer to Sacred Heart
The three-sport athlete is rare in college these days. It’s an ever rarer thing to see at the Division I level. Former Brown wrestler and New Jersey native C.J. LaFragola is one of those rare athletes. After spending four years as a wrestler at Brown University in Rhode Island, LaFragola used his final year of athletic eligibility as a graduate student at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield, Connecticut. But LaFragola had an extra year in a sport other than wrestling, so he opted to play football. Then he tried out for and made the baseball team, giving him the triple. On Episode 601 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, LaFragola will talk about his college wrestling career and what it was like competing for coach Todd Beckerman and then what drew him to Sacred Heart and the situation that gave him an opportunity to put on a second and third athletic uniform. He’s also on #TeamPorkRoll.

Starting from the bottom, Chris Ayres has brought Princeton back atop the Ivy League
When Chris Ayres first got the job at Princeton, the Tigers were bad. Like losing to Division III teams bad. It took 14 years, but Princeton is finally on top of the Ivy League. After beating Cornell and snapping the Big Red’s 92-match Ivy League win streak, Princeton hoisted the Ivy champs banner for the first time since 1986. Find out what made those formative years with an 0-35 record so beneficial to Ayres and how lessons learned from Greg Strobel and his late wife Donna, pushed him through tough times as an athlete and a coach. 7in7 NCAA Kickoff PartyWe’d like to let our listeners know about an NCAA Kickoff Party called “7 in 7” that will be co-hosted by Trackwrestling and JROB Intensive Wrestling Camps on Wednesday, March 18 at The Barn at Cowboy Jack's in Downtown Minneapolis.

Zahid Valencia looks ahead to the last month of the season and beyond
Prior to Arizona State's dual with Little Rock on February 7, three-time All-American and two-time NCAA champion Zahid Valencia reflects back on his last month of folkstyle wrestling. Valencia is unbeaten and unchallenged thus far at his new weight of 184 pounds. In preparation for the Olympic Trials in April, Valencia's been trying to get big. He knows he'll be undersized at the Olympic weight, but he'll tackle that when the time comes. Valencia will also look back on growing up with Monster Garage, picking weights with his brother Anthony, the relationship with former high school teammate Aaron Pico as well as his path 2020 and beyond. 7in7 NCAA Kickoff Party We’d like to let our listeners know about an NCAA Kickoff Party called “7 in 7” that will be co-hosted by Trackwrestling and JROB Intensive Wrestling Camps on Wednesday, March 18 at The Barn at Cowboy Jack's in Downtown Minneapolis.

Richard Immel stops by to talk about the marketing of wrestling
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. Richard's career in wrestling media started at Flowrestling as an intern before he landed a job at USA Wrestling and then was thrust right into the Save Olympic Wrestling movement. After leaving wrestling briefly, he returned to work in marketing in the Twin Cities with SportsEngine, the parent company of Trackwrestling. We'll talk about preview guides, beer, UWW and USA Wrestling's marketing efforts, the upcoming 7in7 kickoff party before the NCAA's, how awesome our wives are to let us work in wrestling and some general nonsense as well. 7in7 NCAA Kickoff Party We’d like to let our listeners know about an NCAA Kickoff Party called “7 in 7” that will be co-hosted by Trackwrestling and JROB Intensive Wrestling Camps on Wednesday, March 18 at The Barn at Cowboy Jack's in Downtown Minneapolis.

Greg Anderson and Dan Seifring get their geek on with WrestleStat
Several years ago, Greg Anderson was thinking about the Iowa wrestling lineup and wondered how to compare Thomas Gilman and Cory Clark. Then he put some stats to work, some automation and then got some help from Dan Seifring out in New Jersey. Almost five years later, WrestleStat is proving another computer resource for fans to compare teams, compare wrestlers and also provide an engine for fantasy wrestling leagues around the country. Anderson and Seifring talk about the meeting of the minds, where it's gone from its genesis and how it's expanded to Division II as well. The pair explains the data entry that goes into it, the automation that kicks out of it and the computer rankings that it provides. 7in7 NCAA Kickoff Party We’d like to let our listeners know about an NCAA Kickoff Party called “7 in 7” that will be co-hosted by Trackwrestling and JROB Intensive Wrestling Camps on Wednesday, March 18 at The Barn at Cowboy Jack's in Downtown Minneapolis.

A different look at youth wrestling with Barnesville's Dan Cox
Out in Barnesville, Minnesota, there's a large group of youth wrestlers. Coach Dan Cox is looking to try to solve the problem in getting kids quality mat time, while creating an enjoyable experience to keep the wrestlers in the system and prepare them for the high school program. On Episode 592 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Cox talks bout how he developed the Northwoods Wrestling League and how it solves an issue with children who want to compete with their friends to get them on the mat and keep them on the mat. Rules involve modified dual meet scoring, allowed moves and disallowed moves that encourage learning. Competing for quality mat time is the key, as this is geared for the recreational wrestler, not the family who wants to jump right in and chase Tulsa titles. Check out the breakdown of how the NWL works in written form at TheGuillone.com forum. 7in7 NCAA Kickoff Party We’d like to let our listeners know about an NCAA Kickoff Party called “7 in 7” that will be co-hosted by Trackwrestling and JROB Intensive Wrestling Camps on Wednesday, March 18 at The Barn at Cowboy Jack's in Downtown Minneapolis.

Short Time Shots: Presbyterian picks up the W (1-15-20)
Got a two-star review on this here show the other day. The review, which was on the master Mat Talk feed and not this or the master Short Time feed, said they missed the longer shows and these short ones weren’t cutting it. First off, thank you for the feedback. Everyone has different tastes and this format has mostly been agreeable to listeners. This show, Short Time, actually started in this format in November of 2013. It went to interviews when the scores stopped, and the show grew from there. The interview shows aren’t done, but I’ve been busy handling the clients I have with the network. I’m also not going to chase the same interviews as everyone else. Doing things differently is what I’ve always done, but that being said, yes, I miss “my show” with “my interviews.” I’ll be picking them back up here soon, but I’ve always got a lot of irons in the fire. When my time becomes strained, I put my own shows on the back burner. I don’t put Short Time ahead of any other show on the network. These shots keep me fresh, help promote every level of wrestling and keep episodes in the feed. I don’t just want to stop doing shows and then lose the listeners. There’s over 70 wrestling podcasts out there. This was the second one. I know people have come and gone from the various Mat Talk shows. I like this format. I like the interview format, but this is also my business, I have to make sure my time is cost-effective. This is why I pitch the Patreon links at the end of each show. Maybe I can take the time away to develop the show ideas in the off-season, but as my wife says, wrestling has no off-season. I put out 448 episodes in 2019, always putting my clients and affiliate shows ahead of my own. Thanks for the feedback, constructive and positive. It’s all taken into consideration. That long winded intro is by your host, me, Jason Bryant, and this is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look back at the scores and more in the world of wrestling. Also, the Attack Style Wrestling Podcast will be coming back with NCAA champion Daryl Weber. We’ll record the first episode in over a year next week. In Duals: We lead with the first victory in over 60 years for Presbyterian College. The Blue Hose hosted NAIA Truett McConnell on Wednesday and shut out the Bears 44-0. It was a forfeit-laden meet. This is the first year of Division I wrestling for Presbyterian, which did have a team back in the early 1950s. It’s the smallest school in Division I and started both men’s and women’s wrestling this year. Closest match of the night came in Division II where Indianapolis edged Findlay 19-18 on criteria E - Total number of takedowns scored only from decisions, major decisions and technical falls. Also in Division II, Belmont Abbey topped Queens 36-12. Fairmont State beat Kent State-Tuscarawas, a varsity NCWA team, 35-0. It’s the first win since the program was added back at Fairmont State, but we’re not exactly sure if the Kent State branch campus is actually a countable

Short Time Shots: Duals, Duals, Duals (01-13-20)
It’s late on the East Coast, semi late here in Minnesota and the College Football Playoff game is still going on as I sit down and blast out this episode. This is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores and more from in and around the sport of wrestling, I’m Jason Bryant, and since there were no scores tonight, the show is about the “more,” today. Back home from Virginia and the 40th annual Virginia Duals. I’ve been to 24 and that tournament holds a special place in my heart. One of the more heart-wrenching moments came in the ODU-Virginia dual where Killian Cardinale, the starter for ODU, which as you know, is my alma mater, wrestled Patrick McCormick, a four-time state champion from my hometown of Poquoson and the son of one of my good friends, NCAA wrestling official Mike McCormick. I once had a similar instance where Bryan LaShomb of ODU wrestled Anthony Burke of UVA in a dual meet. That time, I was announcing. Burke was in my sister’s graduating class back in 2004, and I’d known him since he was in middle school. With Patch, who I gave a little local shout out to at the Midlands, I’d known him since birth. It’s one of those cool things that when you go to the Virginia Duals and see that type of matchup with both ODU and UVA coming from where they were about 15 years ago, it’s cool. Almost all those Virginia college teams are better than they were 15 years ago. Obviously Virginia Tech has carried the flag and George Mason will be improving under Frank Beasley. Now the Commonwealth added two Division III schools last week with Roanoke College and Emory & Henry. Let’s hope we aren’t adding too many teams, too fast, though. Strategery, right? In Duals: In case you missed it, we had a number of dual events that went on this past weekend. In Williamsport, Pennsylvania, The College of New Jersey won the 20th annual Budd Whitehill Duals hosted by Lycoming College. In Hampton, Virginia, Rider won the National College Division, beating No. 22 Virginia, while Division II Kutztown downed Division III Ferrum in the finals for the second straight year. In Louisville, at the 2020 U.S. Marine Corps NWCA Multi-Division National Dual Meet Championships presented by ARMS Software and Defense Soap hosted by NUWAY … St. Cloud State, Wartburg, Grand View, Nassau, McKendree and Menlo were all winners in their respective divisions. St. Cloud State extended its D2 win streak to 58 and won its fourth in a row. Wartburg won its 12th overall title and beat three national champions in their win over Augsburg in the final in Division III. Grand View’s win streak is now 85 after they lost three individual bouts in four duals to capture a ninth-straight title. The NJCAA featured eight non-scholarship teams, which was won by Nassau. It was Nassau’s third title but first since 2005. The women’s division split this year into NCAA and NAIA divisions. McKendree beat Simon Fraser on criteria in the NCAA Division, while Menlo beat Campbellsville to win the NAIA cro

Short Time Shots: Back to Virginia (1-7-20)
Again welcome one, welcome all, welcome you sitting there sipping your coffee or just getting out of the shower. I’m Jason Bryant, this is Short Time Shots, your mostly daily look at the wrestling scores and more from in and around the world of wrestling. I do have one question though, why are you listening in the shower? Before I get to the notables and daily news updates, we have three major dual meet events coming up this weekend - the 92 team NWCA National Duals, which its official name would take up an entire show - and the 40th annual Virginia Duals, the tournament that led me to the sport of wrestling and the Budd Whitehill Duals in Pennsylvania. But before we talk about that, here’s what happened Tuesday. In Duals: A pair of Division I duals came in the expanded MAC, where Kent State topped SIUE 25-15. Kent State picked up falls from Colin McCracken and Spencer Berthold at 197 and heavyweight to scream back from a 15-13 deficit with those two bouts to go. In the nightcap, SIUE drove east to Clarion and fell to the Golden Eagles 30-13. Brock Zacherl defeated Tyshawn Williams 3-1 in sudden victory at 149. In Division III, Alma beat Trine 42-9. Olivet beat Adrian 21-12. North Central prepared for the National Duals by blanking Elmhurst 46-0. Ohio Northern beat Mount St. Joseph 27-17 a day after Ohio Northern head coach Ron Beaschler had amazing seats at the Ohio State dual. UW-Platteville topped UW-Eau Claire 24-20 in a match that featured 12 exhibition bouts. This is one awesome thing about Division III. It might be a pain in the ass for the event staff, but this is one of the key ways D3 kids get more mat time, especially the non-starters. NAIA Thomas More knocked off Division III Muskingum 38-14. Best name of the night goes to Thomas More’s Wilder Wichman, he registered a fall at 3:38 at 157 pounds, one of four falls for the Saints on Tuesday. The fastest, though, went to Zach Dunn, who picked up the six in 12 seconds. Keeping it NAIA, Graceland beat William Penn, the school, not the actual person, 43-12. Montana State-Northern was at Dickinson State and the Lights came away with a 32-21 win over the Blue Hawks. Notables on the Docket: In Division II, Seton Hill is at Shippensburg, Emmanuel is at Belmont Abbey, for some reason UNC Pembroke is going out to Kansas to take on Fort Hays State while American International will face Division III New England College and Trinity up in Connecticut. In Division III, Coast Guard is at WPI, McDaniel is at Waynesburg, Hunter is at Scranton and Thiel is at Case Western Reserve. In the NAIA, Briar Cliff hosts Midland, Bethany (Kan.) takes on York (Neb.), while Morningside heads to Jamestown (N.D.). One dual that’s scheduled on the women’s side where St. Mary (Kan.) will face Central Methodist. Now to the Duals Previews. The full NWCA preview here can be found at NWCAonline.com Virginia Duals information at VirginiaDuals.com Lycoming’s Bud Whitehill Duals is also something to keep

Short Time Shots: We're Scufflin' (1-2-20)
There isn’t a whole lot I’m going to go in-depth with tonight, but it’s now 2020 and oddly, this will be statistically the third decade I podcast. Yes, I realize that starting in 2009 and then going through all of the 10s into the 20s is basically 12 years, but whatever. This is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the wrestling scores and more from around the world of wrestling, I’m Jason Bryant. In case you’re wondering, this will continue to be MOSTLY a weeknight show, since I also need to have some semblance of a life on weekends (but I still do the newsletter) and I figure most wrestling fans have an opportunity to consume what’s on the web on the weekend. Or, I’ll just do it on weekdays when relevant, because it’s my show. And probably nothing on Friday night, since I’m heading down to The Clash. Minnesota Beer of the Night: I’ve been kind of holding out on this one - it’s Castle Danger’s Castle Cream Ale. This was a small brewery in Castle Danger, Minnesota, which is a real place, but now it’s grown to the point it has its own spot in Two Harbors, just north of Duluth. This is a beer that if it’s on draft where you’re at, you buy it. It’s really everything I want in a beer. Not heavy, not hoppy, just smooth, crushable and awesome. I’ll be honest, it’s almost always in my fridge. New Patron: Mike Conley, a guy I’ve known a long time from his days wrestling at York High School in Virginia. York has a cool history and Yorktown itself is one of those places where history buffs can spend days on end and still not discover all the world-changing events that happened there. Thanks Mike for your support, but that’s the only love I’ll give to those Falcons - well, there’s that one time where I picked Jason Dye to win the state title. Jason Fulmore also jumped on, he’s the guy behind SoutheastWrestling.com. He’s trying to start something rolling there in the south when it comes to wrestling, I’d encourage you to give it a look. The Scuffle: Oklahoma State edged NC State 116-109 to win the Southern Scuffle in Chattanooga, Tennessee, which kicked off the new year just right. Stanford was third. Oklahoma State just had one champ - Nick Piccininni at 125 pounds, while NC State crowned Hayden Hidlay the champ at 157 pounds. Stanford had three champs, most of any team, with titles coming from Real Woods at 141, unattached Jaden Abas at 149 and Shane Griffith at 165 pounds. Other titlists were Sammy Alvarez of Rutgers at 133, Penn State’s unattached true freshman Carter Starocci at 174, Lou DePrez of Binghamton at 184, West Virginia’s Noah Adams at 197 and Iowa State’s Gannon Gremmel at 285. DePrez avenged an early-season loss to NC State’s Trent Hidlay 3-2. OW went to Adams, who pinned Stanford’s Nathan Traxler in the finals. Yes, thank you Cliff Fretwell. Full results on FloArena. In Duals Light night in duals, but Fresno State hosted Cal Poly and Utah Valley to kick off the new year at the SaveMart Center. In the opening dual, Fresno State w

Short Time Shots: Runnin' down a win (12-18-19)
Yes, it’s late, it’s cold and I watched Elf tonight. That’s about all you’re going to get for a cheeky intro. This is Short Time Shots, your mostly daily look at the day’s scores and more in and around the world of wrestling. I’m Jason Bryant. Minnesota Beer of the Night: Last night, the Facebook Live crowd didn’t get to hear my lackluster review of a beer I didn’t really like that much, which was Tin Whiskers Orange Dream State, which was an orange cream ale. Have no fear, here’s a better review, at least, an improvement as it’s Bad Weather Brewing’s Immortal Toast, a coffee infused white stout. Yes, that is such a thing. It’s surprisingly awesome. New Patron: As a result of this thing going live on Facebook last night, we picked up another Patron, this one from Lauren Ruppert, the sister of one of my high school teammates and drill partners. What’s interesting is one of my other drill partners, Curtis Booth, lived up here for six months on a work contract. As soon as it snowed in November, he was out! He was about 2 miles from me - he came by the house last week before he left. Good stuff, Bull Island. This is one time you get mentioned in the media and it’s not an Allen Iverson documentary. She gets a glass, a shirt, some other free stuff, and of course, this shout out. “We’s gonna need some mohr wrassler’s on this heah football teem.” Dual Meets: No ranked D1 teams in action, but here’s what we’ve got from around the mid-majors. Gardner-Webb upended Franklin & Marshall 22-18 in a matinee dual in Boiling Springs, North Carolina. Even giving up a forfeit, the Runnin’ Bulldogs won six of the 10 bouts. Franklin & Marshall picked up a win over the first-year program at Presbyterian. The Diplomats beat the Blue Hose - yes, both of those are the schools’ actual nicknames - 38-9. In other first-year news, Appalachian State spoiled the Division I home debut of Little Rock 36-6 at the Jack Stephens Center. It’s effectively the Sun Belt championship as that all-sports league doesn’t sponsor wrestling. It wasn’t the first major college competition in the state of Arkansas, as Arkansas State had a team back in the 1950s, but it was the first Division I action as there were no divisions back then. Biggest matches of the dual saw Appalachian State’s Sean Carter beat Jaylen Carson at 125 and Codi Russell top Paul Bianchi at 133. App State’s Matt Zovistoski edged Jose Champagne 4-3 at 157. Upset of the night came in Edwardsville, Illinois as Justin Ruffin of SIUE knocked off returning All-American and fourth-ranked Larry Early of Old Dominion 3-1 in the tiebreakers at 157 pounds. ODU won the dual 33-9, but that win at 157 for Ruffin was the head-turner. Also in the MAC, Northern Illinois broke a 13-13 tie by winning the last three weights to top Kent State 23-13. In the NAIA, third-ranked Lindsey Wilson trounced fourth-ranked Marian 44-4 in a dual at Jeffersonville High School in Southern Indiana. Nothing yet from San Francisco State and Simpson, but S

Short Time Shots: Missouri Valley's Maccholz wins No. 200 (12-17-19)
Nothing flamboyant, I’m just going to freestyle. This is Short Time Shots, your mostly daily look at the day’s scores and more in and around the world of wrestling. I’m Jason Bryant. Dual Meets: Fifth-ranked Notre Dame College gave the first-year program at Fairmont State a rough welcome to Division II wrestling with a 45-0 victory in a battle of Falcons, and that’s NOT Mister Falcon. Gold star if you get the reference. Quickest fall came from eighth-ranked Kelan McKenna at 141 pounds as he dispatched Pat Vega at 1:30. Life, ranked No. 10 in the NAIA, beat Mid-South Conference foe Thomas More 33-15 and Division III Huntingdon 40-0 to improve to 6-0 on the year. Thomas More beat host Huntingdon 25-16 to close out the tri. At the Missouri Valley Duals, which featured 10 NAIA programs, fifth-ranked Campbellsville went 4-0 with wins over St. Mary (Kansas) 39-9, Ottawa (Kansas) 54-0, Williams Baptist 45-0 and No. 15 Missouri Valley 31-13. No. 9 Baker also went 4-0, beating Waldorf 50-3, Rochester (Mich.) 50-5, Lincoln 50-0 and Williams Baptist 33-11. Host Missouri Valley went 3-1. Also of note, Missouri Valley head coach Mike Maccholz earned a coaching milestone, earning his 200th career victory as the Vikings opened with a 45-5 win over Rochester (Mich.) No report as yet from Southern Oregon and San Francisco State, which started late out west. Notables on the Docket: We’ve got a handful of duals in Division I, including both brand new teams in action. Franklin & Marshall heads to Gardner-Webb where they’ll face the host Bulldogs and Presbyterian. ODU will face SIUE in the alphabet bowl in the MAC, while Appalachian State will face the only other school with wrestling in the Sun Belt, the first-year program at Little Rock. Kent State will face Northern Illinois. NAIA Simpson (Calif.) will face Division II San Francisco State at Chico High School. In Division III, Mt. St. Joseph will host Alma and Penn College in a tri-meet. In the NAIA, No. 3 Lindsey Wilson faces No. 4 Marion at Jeffersonville High School. Shout out Danny Struck. FROM THE DWN: TheMat.com and USA Wrestling released the pre-seeds for men’s freestyle and a preview for women’s freestyle. Among the top seeds are Spencer Lee at 57kg, Yianni Diakomihalis at 65kg, Nazar Kulchytskyy at 74kg, Alex Dieringer at 86kg, Kyven Gadsen at 97kg and Tony Nelson at 125kg. The women’s preview doesn’t unveil seeds, but does note a number of athletes changing weights. Even without the world medalists, who are already qualified, this is a monster event for the women. The Home Mat Advantage does a lightweight preview of the men’s freestyle action as well. The NWCA released the final coaches poll for the 2019 calendar year - nothing really changed other than Stanford moved into the poll tied at No. 25. The NWCA released the first NCAA women’s coaches poll, which isn’t really a poll, it’s just a tournament scoring metric from the individual rankings. Tom Housenick of the Allentown (Pa.) Morn

Short Time Shots: Thanks Melissa! (12-16-19)
This is the first edition of the Short Time Shots where I’m actually recording from the Speakeasy Studio in wonderfully chilly New Brighton, Minnesota. Let’s first be clear, there’s nothing wonderful about being chilly. That was sarcasm. Now, I’ve got a sit-stand desk that I’m working on improving my mobility around the house, because I cannot sit in this stupid chair for 12 hours a day and expect anything good to come of it. Secondly, my desk is no longer in the corner of my bedroom, meaning I can actually walk around to my side of the bed. For five months, that was not possible. Now I’ve still got some things to do to complete it - mainly build the bar and put the rest of the stuff on the walls to complete the sound treatment, but all in all, I’m VERY happy with it so far. I’m also recording this for Facebook Live, just to see how things work on OBS, which is pretty cool. Minnesota Beer of the Night: Black Ale from Bent Paddle Brewing in Duluth. Six percent. Dark and delicious. By the way, I’m on untappd at jasonbryant12. New Patron: Kevin McGuigan jumps on board. He’s been following and listening for a while as well as he also sent me a shirt for the long lost #WrestlingShirtADay that I did in 2018. No, I’m never doing it again, by the way. Dual Meets: Down in Carolina - North Carolina - Belmont Abbey used four falls to power past first-year Mount Olive 34-19 in Division II action. Greg Hilliard registered the fastest fall of the night, picking up six in 34 seconds at 165 pounds. Kenn Caudell’s squad - they’re the Crusaders. In Division III, Cortland State went 3-0 as the Red Dragons beat Pitt-Bradford 35-18, King’s College 33-13 and host Lycoming 19-18. Lycoming beat Pitt-Bradford 42-18 and King’s 44-10. Pitt-Bradford beat King’s 22-16. Notables on the Docket: Notre Dame College heads to take on the new program at Fairmont State, while NAIA Southern Oregon heads down the coast to take on San Francisco State, coached by three-time Northwestern All-American Jason Welch. In Division III, Huntingdon, that’s in Alabama in case you were wondering, hosts a pair of NAIA schools, Life and Thomas More. In the NAIA, Missouri Valley host the MVC Duals in Marshall. Teams expected to compete there are Baker, Williams Baptist, Bethany, Campbellsville, Ottawa, Waldorf, St. Mary, William Penn, Lincoln, Rochester (Mich.) and of course, the host Vikings of Mo. Val. FROM THE DWN: In a joint release, USA Wrestling, the Women’s Collegiate Wrestling Coalition and Adrian College announced the first Cliff Keen National Collegiate Women’s Wrestling Championships will be held in Adrian, Michigan on March 6-7, 2020. This event will give the NCAA-branded schools an opportunity to compete in the postseason. There’s already an NAIA invitational, but what this means for the longstanding WCWA remains to be seen. I know I’ve got some major plans for women’s wrestling in the future. Brown and Harvard announced they were partnering to create the New England Regi

Short Time Shots: Keiser takes first win and how to interrupt a podcast (12-13-19)
It’s Friday the 13th. It was perhaps the only cool thing about growing up with the name Jason. The whole mythological thing with the Argonauts hadn’t quite resonated just yet - and since I didn’t go to school at the University of Providence or play in Toronto in the CFL, those references were lost on me - just like those two COULD be lost on you. This is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores and more from in and around the world of wrestling, I’m Jason Bryant. Before we get to the college action, the Walsh Ironman, one of the best high school wrestling tournaments in the universe is rolling on in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. To keep with the theme, Wyoming Seminary coach Scott Green says Sem has 13 entered, 13 survived on the 13th. Somewhat witty. No truth to the rumor Coach Green was at Wing Warehouse with the seedy underbelly of the wrestling internet. Sometimes you get interrupted from recording a show by three people in said town of Cuyahoga Falls. Minnesota Beer of the Night: You probably won’t find it by the time you get here for the NCAA Division I Championships, but it’s Surly’s Black Horsemen, which is brewed in collaboration with those fun-loving metal heads at King Diamond. Yes, THAT King Diamond. It’s a Danish style black lager - a style I fell in love with when I was at the Junior World Championships in Trnava, Slovakia in 2018. This isn’t quite as awesome as what I had over there, but it’s delicious and perfect at five percent - remember, I’m on untappd at jasonbryant12. New Patron: Pat Fitzgerald. Yup. That one. Thanks Pat for your support over the years. Dual Meets: No. 6 NC State doubled up Appalachian State 24-12 with Nick Reenan making his return to the Wolfpack lineup at 197 pounds. Reenan beat Paul Carson 4-3, scoring a takedown in the third to pick up the W. Hayden Hidlay cruised to a 16-3 major decision over App State’s Matt Zovistoski at 157 pounds. D.J. Fehlman’s 9-3 win at 133 pounds in the dual’s final bout was enough to push Lock Haven past Navy 19-13 in the Rumble in the Jungle at Red Lion High School in Red Lion, Pennsylvania. Shout out to Red Lion head coach, Mike “The Nite Fox” Catullo. In Division II, the Battlers of Alderson Broaddus beat NAIA West Virginia Tech 33-16 in Beckley - that’s in West Virginia. Top-ranked St. Cloud State moved within one win of tying the Division II dual meet win streak record - one that they hold - after beating Northern State 29-9. The Huskies have won 53 in a row. Northern State’s James Burks did beat St. Cloud State’s James Pleski 7-5 at 157, so that’s a notable one there. Augsburg, ranked fourth in Division III, topped Division II Southwest Minnesota State on Friday in Minneapolis. The Auggies won six of 10 and top-ranked Ryan Epps earned a fall at 4:51 at 165 pounds. You know those kids books, if you give a mouse a cookie or if you give a moose a muffin? Well, if you mention Augsburg, you’re going to have to mention Wartburg. Top-ranked Wartburg - that’s in the

Short Time Shots: Vanguard waits 39 years between dual wins (12-12-19)
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

Short Time Shots: Mount Olive wins battle of first-year squads (12-4-19)
Canada takes this one in a landslide folks. I’m Jason Bryant and this is Short Time Shots, your mostly daily recap of the scores and more from around the world of wrestling. What does Canada take? Well, as I checked into the Fallsview Marriott, I looked out the window to see the most glorious sight I’ve ever seen out of a hotel window at a wrestling event. Seriously, Wrestling Canada Lutte (you have to say Lutte) has at least made one person happy so far. By the way, it’s also not everyday you get picked up at the airport by an Olympic medalist. As far as picking up Olympic medalists, I’ve done that way more. Not quite like smoking fake pot with Peter Frampton, but you get the idea. Yes, a Mitch Hedberg reference. Also, Niagara Brewing Company has some first-class stuff. To the scores! Dual Meets: Kentucky Wesleyan won its first dual in school history on Tuesday night. Well guess what, they have their first winning streak as the Panthers beat NAIA Thomas More 28-21to win the school’s second dual ever and second in a row. Kentucky Wesleyan stormed out to a 28-0 lead and put it in cruise control from there. Mount Olive topped Lander 24-23 in a matchup of first year teams. With the dual on the line, Mount Olive’s Drew Weichers’ major decision at 157 pounds in the dual’s final bout was enough to give the Trojans the win, spoiling the dual debut of the Lander Bearcats. In Division III, Westminster beat Fontbonne 31-18, Thiel beat Pitt-Bradford 50-6, while UW-Platteville beat UW-Stevens Point 25-15. Stevens Point’s Matt Berlin remained unbeaten at 13-0 with a fall at 133 pounds. Division III Millikin, ranked No. 18, beat Lincoln, which is in its first year active as an NAIA school, 41-12. Southern Virginia defeated NJCAA Southwest Virginia 33-15. In the NAIA, Grand View won its 81st straight dual, but it wasn’t a blowout. The Vikings won six of 10 to defeat Baker 27-15. Five bouts were decided by two points or less. No. 10 Life trounced Truett McConnell 46-5. In Kansas at Olathe South High School, Ottawa beat Central Christian 45-9. In the desert, Embry-Riddle beat Arizona Christian 35-15. On the women’s side, No. 14 Missouri Valley beat No. 20 Saint Mary (Kansas) 28-15 to pick up their first win of the season. No report from the women’s dual between Fontbonne and Westminster. Notables on the Docket: Just a pair of duals in Division I as Bucknell hosts Bloomsburg, which is right down the road, unless you’re in a snowstorm like I was back in 2011 or ‘12. Wrestling’s version of the Backyard Brawl goes down in Morgantown as West Virginia hosts Pittsburgh. Anyone ever hear the story about the Pitt PA announcer asking the fans if anyone owned a tractor with West Virginia plates E-I-E-I-O, because its lights were on? WVU came back to win that game, by the way. True story. In Division II, Colorado Mesa (formerly known as Mesa State) hosts Western Colorado (formerly known as Western State and Western State Colorado), Emmanuel faces McKendree, MSU-Moor

Short Time Shots: A Program First for Kentucky Wesleyan (12-3-19)
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 de

Short Time Shots: Auditing the show notes (11-26-19)
Time to get back in the ring, to take another swing. The walls were shaking, the earth was quaking, my mind was aching - you know what, I saw AC/DC live back in 2016, you don’t need to relive that show, although it was super awesome. I’d previous had tickets to see them in high school, in September of 1996. That tour got canceled before it got to Hampton. So there I was, 20 years later, with my pregnant wife on Valentine’s Day rocking out to AC/DC. What’s that have to do with wrestling? Nothing really, other than AC/DC is a favorite on wrestling playlists worldwide. I’m Jason Bryant, and this is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores and more in and around the sport of wrestling. By the way, if you notice the episode numbers changing, that’s because I did an audit of the amount of Short Time episodes in the feed. The most recent show where I interviewed some folks in Little Rock was actually the 580th episode. At some point, I didn’t count things and had some other non-Short Time shows in the feed. That’s been fixed and sure enough, this is the 581st edition of Short Time, whether it be in the Shots form or my more formal feature story/interview format. I also went to the Richard Nixon School of Accounting. Most of you won’t get that joke. Minnesota Beer of the Night: Bite Size by Modist Brewing. It’s classified as a Pastry Stout, with some evil chattering teeth on the can. It checks in at 6.7% and it’s pretty good for the first major snowfall expected to hit the land of New Brighton by the time you listen to it. Remember, I’m on Untappd at jasonbryant12. By the way, the Modist taproom is about a mile and a half from U.S. Bank Stadium. Dual Meets: It was a close one down south in Division II where a fall from Jonathan Miller at 141 pounds was the difference as No. 21 UNC Pembroke edged No. 17 Limestone 20-19 in Pembroke on Tuesday. All-American Nick Daggett also scored a key bonus victory for the Braves at 125 pounds. Lindsey Wilson, ranked third in the NAIA, won nine out of 10 bouts and scored six falls as the Blue Raiders trounced Division II Bellarmine 47-3 in Columbia. Returning national champion Brandon Reed picked up his fall at 1:10 at heavyweight. Grand View, the top-ranked team in the NAIA, ran its dual meet win streak to 80 in a row after blanking Benedictine (Kansas) 50-0. During that stretch, Grand View has outscored opponents by an average score of 42.3 to 4.95. There’s also been 27 shutouts. The Vikings have won 108 of their last 109 duals with the last loss coming in November of 2013 to Division I Iowa State. Keeping it in the NAIA, fifth-ranked Campbellsville won a pair of duals at home on Tuesday. First the Tigers topped the Phoenix of Cumberland University (Tenn.) 34-6 before dispatching with West Virginia Tech 59-0, yes, one away from a perfect score. Cumberland beat West Virginia Tech 48-6. Marian beat Missouri Baptist 43-6. In Division III, fifth-ranked Augsburg was aided by five forfeits in shutting out St. Ol

Immediate reactions from Little Rock's dual meet debut
On Sunday, the eyes of the wrestling world were on two places – Ames, Iowa and Little Rock, Arkansas. When it comes to wrestling, one of those places is not like the other. While one saw over 11,000 fans come into the Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa to witness one of wrestling’s greatest in-state rivalries, just under 1,500 fans came to the Jack Stephens Center to witness college wrestling, many for the first time, as the Trojans of the University of Arkansas at Little Rock wrestled the first dual meet in school history. This is the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, I’m your host, Hall of Fame wrestling writer, broadcaster and announcer Jason Bryant and I had the privilege of being in Little Rock to witness the berth of another Division I wrestling program. While Little Rock isn’t the only new program launching this year at the Division I level, it’s presence in Arkansas makes it the most unique, probably one of the most unique story in wrestling history. I’ve been documenting the story from start to finish with Rocked Up, a serial podcast here on the Mat Talk Podcast Network. Season 1 of that show ends with how this show begins. You can listen there at GetRockedUp.com. Today on Short Time, I’ll talk with Greg Hatcher, one of wrestling’s most prominent benefactors and a man who purchased nearly every wrestling mat to start wrestling programs in the state of Arkansas. I’ll also talk with George Lee, the Athletic Director at Little Rock. Lee has been with Little Rock as a student and then employee and then administrator since the 1980s. He was witnessing history that was set into motion by a previous AD. Then I’ll talk with Neil Erisman, someone who’s spent over a year and a half waiting for this moment to become a reality. It’s the news, reviews, previews and interviews from in and around the world of wrestling. The build-up and anticipation are in the rearview, Little Rock wrestling is a reality and it’s today’s featured story. Hear the immediate reactions, because you’ve always got time, for Short Time.

Short Time Shots: Wartburg remembers Kenny Anderson (11-20-19)
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.

Short Time Shots: Garage Days (11-19-19)
[powerpress] 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. My wife’s asleep, so I’m doing something different and recording this using the Backpack app on my phone. I’m standing in my 44-degree garage. And of course, this is now the second time I’m recording it, since stupid me tested it, changed a setting, but didn’t re-test it. So now I’m back in the garage. This isn’t my initial script, so screw it. Dual Meets: As noted in the Monday episode, there was a dose of Division III wrestling in Ohio where No. 4 Mount Union beat Muskingum 54-0, highlighted by seven falls from the Purple Raiders, including a 10-second fall from returning All-American and top-ranked Antwon Pugh. No. 1 Jordin James, last year’s national champion at 133, picked up one of the other six falls. John Carroll beat Heidelberg 25-15, No. 9 Baldwin Wallace beat Ohio Northern 28-6 and No. 15 Otterbein beat Wilmington 53-0. Of note with Wilmington, this is the second year the team has been active since reinstatement, but with no home duals last year with an abbreviated schedule, Tuesday was the first home dual in seven years for the Fighting Quakers - yes, I say again, Fighting Quakers. All-American heavyweight and top-ranked Drew Kasper had a fall in 94 seconds there for Otterbein. In the NAIA, Baker beat Graceland 32-12. Returning national champion Lucas Lovvorn picked up a major decision at 174 pounds over Brennan Swafford of Graceland. Lovvorn was No. 1 in the preseason at 174, while Swafford was No. 2 at 165 in the NAIA preseason rankings.

Short Time Shots: Ben Askren Retires (11-18-19)
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.

Short Time Shots: 11-15-19 (featuring Rider coach John Hangey)
Sometimes you have to pivot. I had every intention of putting together another episode of The Guillotine Grapevine here on the Mat Talk Podcast Network, but sometimes things don’t go as planned, as you’re about to find out. This is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores and more from the world of wrestling, I’m Jason Bryant. Dual Meets: The biggest upset of the night and one of the bigger upsets in the past several years saw unranked Rider come into Williams Arena in Minneapolis and knock off No. 6 Minnesota 21-17. The key wins came from Jonathan Tropea at 125 pounds and Dean Sherry at 174 pounds. Sherry pinned All-American Devin Skatzka in one of the most exciting three minutes of wrestling. Instead of talking you through it, I talked with Rider coach John Hangey about the match and its impact on the Rider program. Rider’s Ryan Cloud won an absolutely not thrilling bout 1-0 at 285 over Bobby Steveson to lock up the win for the Broncs. (Hangey Interview) In other Top 25 action, No. 3 Ohio State won six out of 10 at No. 15 Pittsburgh, but it was bonus points that blew the match open for coach Tom Ryan’s Buckeyes. Ohio State prevailed 23-12. Kollin Moore opened the dual with a major at 197, Chase Singletary scored a mild upset over Demetrius Thomas at heavyweight, Luke Pletcher, no, that’s not a typo, got a major at 141 pounds over Cole Matthews, while Sammy Sasso picked up a fall at 149 pounds. The Buckeyes return home to face No. 11 Virginia Tech on Sunday. In Philadelphia, No. 4 Oklahoma State won eight out of 10 bouts to open its dual season with a 30-6 win over Drexel. Cowboy 165-pounder Travis Wittlake knocked off Ebed Jarrell 5-1. John Smith also tied Bobby Douglas for fifth on the all-time collegiate dual wins list with his 427th victory. No. 8 Arizona State won its home opener 35-6 over Division II Augustana (S.D.). We’ll save the story of that dual for what’s in the Daily Wrestling Newsletter. No. 9 NC State always seems to get a fight from ODU and Friday was no different. The Wolfpack would prevail 22-11 after getting a huge fall at 197 pounds from Tyrie Houghton to go along with ranked wins by top-ranked Hayden Hidlay at 157 over Larry Early and Tariq Wilson’s 3-2 win over Sa’Derian Perry at 141. Elsewhere in Division I, Northern Illinois beat Bucknell 24-10, Binghamton beat South Dakota State 25-16, Oregon State beat Division II Simon Fraser 40-8 in Tahoma, Washington. I deliberately didn’t post this until Fresno State and Rutgers were finished. Rutgers won 23-13. Did Fresno State set their school’s attendance record? No, but they still drew a solid 3,500-plus. Division II Coker beat NAIA St. Andrews 45-8. In Division III No. 1 Wabash shut out Manchester 45-0, No. 15 Ithaca topped Stevens Institute 29-12, Williams beat Trinity 28-18, Lycoming beat Thiel 40-6 and smashed NJCAA Jamestown (N.Y.) 51-3. Thiel beat Jamestown 44-6. In the NAIA, Concordia (Neb.) beat Northwestern (Iowa) 29-10 and Southern Oregon beat Warner

Short Time Shots: 11-14-19
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.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow - somewhere else. You know what, I made my bed, so I’ll lie in it. I moved here. Like the point, counterpoint in the movie Airplane! said, they bought their tickets, they knew what they were getting into. I say, let’em crash. Well, let me shiver. This isn’t the weather report for New Brighton, Minnesota - but it’s close - welcome to Short Time Shots, your mostly daily look at the wrestling scores and more from around the world. Minnesota Beer of the Night: In preparation for the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships, when I’m having a beer while putting this show together in the evening, I will enlighten you with that particular information. Tonight, it’s from probably my favorite or second-favorite Minnesota brewery, Fair State Brewing Cooperative. This one’s called Spirit Foul, a super rare collaboration with Modern Times Brewing out of San Diego, which is Spanish for a whale … you know. It’s a hazy IPA, which I’m starting to come around to. I’m not going to tell you about the flavor profile or something snooty like that. I like to try various beers, and I like to drink various beers. This is one I’ve gotten my hands on each of the last three years. It’s hard to find and sells out quickly. I will NOT be featuring Bud heavy, ever, on this show. Sorry Willie. Oh, if you’re on Untappd, find me there at jasonbryant12. Dual Meets: In the Chancellor’s Cup Dual, UW-Eau Claire won the first seven matches and cruised past UW-Oshkosh 25-9 in Eau Claire. The Blugolds were solid, picking up four major decisions en route to the win. We’re not sure where UW-Eau Claire’s Chancellor is going to put said cup, but my recommendation is to fill it up with Spotted Cow and drink from it as a chalice. In the Keystone State, Division II Shippensburg topped Division III Elizabethtown 25-13 in E-Town on Wednesday. Wins by Austin Klucker and Dan Berberick at 197 and 285 enabled the Raiders to pull away for the win. Also in PA, Wilkes defeated Alvernia in that school’s first dual meet in school history 28-12. In Ohio, Heidelberg - wait for it - defeated Wilmington 54-3. Still waiting. Yes, it’s my goal to teach everyone in this country the great wrestling mascots and nicknames we have. The Student Princes of Heidelberg. They used to be coached by current Army West Point assistant Ned Shuck. Thomas More, which recently reclassified to the NAIA, defeated the second-year program at Ohio Wesleyan 27-19. Shay Horton, Avery Jones and Tyler Kassinger picked up falls for the Saints. No Elisabeth Shue references from The Saint today. Ok, just that one. Another NAIA over NCAA win came in Bristol, on the Tennessee side as Cumberland University beat King University 27-19. Cumberland fell behind 10-0 early before taking the lead for good after Dylan Quinn’s 17-10 win over Elijah Davis at 165. Heavyweight Patrick DePiazza sealed the win for the Phoenix. Yes, their named after a mythical firebird … or a city in Arizona. Benedictine of Kans

Short Time Shots: 11-12-19
Holy crap it’s cold. Like I know I live in Minnesota, but it’s November 12 and the daytime high wasn’t the issue, it was the five degrees this morning while getting the kids ready for school. I chatted with ODU wrestling coach Steve Martin this morning. The first thing he asked me was how the weather was. After an expletive-laced retort, I finally answered with the current state of the atmospheric conditions. You can get that update every day on my personal Twitter account at 9:30 a.m. Central Time. I moved to Minnesota for a job. I left Minnesota for a job. I came back to Minnesota due to the proximity of my wife’s family and the abundance of good wrestling in the midwest. It’s easier to do what I do from here than say, my hometown. This is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores and more from the world of wrestling. I’m Jason Bryant. Dual Meets: Falls were the difference as Graceland earned the big six from Trey Heckadon, Brennan Swafford and Drew Sams to lift the Yellowjackets to a 24-18 win over Division III Simpson College on Tuesday. Missouri Baptist opened up the season with a 30-18 win over American Midwest rival Hannibal-LaGrange. Jordan Sanders and Quentin Lawrence with falls there for the Spartans. They’ve got spirit. Montana State-Northern got its first dual win of the season as longtime rival and current Cascade Conference foe Southern Oregon came to town and went home unhappy. Returning national finalist Isaac Bartel registered a fall in 90 seconds at 197 pounds to highlight the Lights victory - yes, they’re the LIGHTS. Get it, Northern … Lights. I can’t seem to find any release or note, but apparently William Penn beat Waldorf by forfeit. Ok then. The top-ranked team in the NAIA women’s division, Life University, knocked off Limestone 36-10 in that school’s first ever home dual. Alex Enriquez, Aysia Cortez and Gabby Hamilton secured falls for the Running Eagles. Yes, the RUNNING Eagles.

Short Time Shots: 11-11-19
November 11 is a day that’s extremely memorable for me and the career path I chose. You see, 11 years ago, Kyle Klingman and I kicked off our very first podcast, Wrestling 411. By the way, 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. So back to the story - It was a J Robinson idea housed within a brand called Media Sports Productions, the acronym befitting its home base, Minneapolis. This was the gig I left Pennsylvania for. J Rob and Wade Schalles, wooed me over the phone from my newly purchased row home in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I saw the pay increase, the chance to continue to further my goals in broadcasting and a chance to get a fresh start in a new area. Wade left shortly after Kyle arrived from Iowa and me from Pennsylvania. Ultimately, we got left holding the bag with little of the start-up money to work with and Kyle and I limped through a very tough year, one that put both of us at odds with one another and put both of our futures in the sport in doubt. Kyle and I talked about this a year ago, when we hit the 10-year anniversary of our foray into podcasting and failed television production. Our first guest was Tom Brands. The audio was terrible, our rapport wasn’t there and it might have been one of the worst shows either of us ever did. Even though I linked it here, don’t listen. We sat at Augsburg’s KAUG radio studios - Kyle knew this was doomed from the start. I thought so to, only I held on to the illusion that we could actually pull this off. Well, we didn’t and 11 years later, here we are, and here you are. That was the second known wrestling podcast, Mat Slammers in Iowa was the first and there was a short-lived show up in Canada for a while too. All that being said, 11 years gone and a lot of things changed for the better out of that experience. I’ve distributed, produced and hosted over 2,400 podcast episodes in that time and I’ve done 1,308 of those myself. Uffda. Now, before I get to the news, this important note from my man Andy Voit. No, he didn’t pay me to say his name on the show. Dual Meets: Nothing doing. Tournaments: Nothing doing.

Short Time Shots: 11-10-19
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 gi

Ever go to a trampoline park? Yeah. You’ll feel it the next day. With a pretty good slate of college wrestling going on Saturday, I’m sure you’re going to feel it too. I’m Jason Bryant and this is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores and more from the world of wrestling. Dual Meets: Most of the key action took place at the Northeast Duals, but before we get there, No. 15 Pittsburgh hosted Campbell in a dual where the Fighting Camels felt they had chance to pull the upset and potentially get ranked for the first time in school history. They’ll have to wait. The Panthers won eight of 10 bouts in a 28-6 win. There were notable individual matches, though as Pitt’s Micky Phillipi downed Noah Gonser 6-2 at 133, while freshman Cole Matthews pinned Josh Heil at 141 pounds. At 165, Pitt’s Jake Wentzel majored Quentin Perez, who was coming off a solid effort at the Southeast Open. Campbell did pick up one notable upset, as red hot Andrew Morgan beat Nino Bonaccorsi 11-8 at 184. Morgan fell behind early, but rallied with a second period reversal and set of four nearfall points to tie the match going into the third. He added an escape and another takedown to pull out the win. Demetrius Thomas of Pittsburgh topped Jere Heino 10-3 at 285. Wow, there was actually a lot more to that dual than the score indicates. Now, we get to the Northeast Duals and I’m going to start off with the highest ranked dual between any teams in the mix, and that was in Division II where No. 2 St. Cloud State spanked No. 1 Pitt-Johnstown 31-6. St. Cloud State’s Garrett Vos knocked off No. 1 Tyler Warner 11-6 at 133 pounds and fourth-ranked Devin Fitzpatrick beat No. 2 Devin Austin 3-1 in two of the Huskies’ biggest wins. UPJ did get one win of note, two-time Division II national champ Chris Eddins edged three-time All-American James Pleski 3-2 at 149 pounds. That’s likely a preview of your national finals at the weight. The only matchup with ranked teams in Division I saw No. 8 Arizona State beat No. 23 Virginia 27-12. The Sun Devils also rallied to beat Purdue 22-19 as car-rental eligible Tanner Hall earned a tech fall at heavyweight to give ASU the dual win. Virginia opened the day with a 49-0 win over LIU. No Jack Mueller today for the Cavaliers. Purdue beat Buffalo 32-8 and Utah Valley 30-12. Utah Valley beat Sacred Heart 40-3, while Sacred Heart beat LIU 26-12. Buffalo also beat LIU 37-3. This is going to be a long year for the newly minted Division I team at LIU. Elsewhere around the Journeyman mats, No. 12 TCNJ beat No. 14 Ithaca 23-9, St. Cloud State shut out Division III Johnson & Wales 43-0, UPJ beat American International 51-4, Johnson & Wales beat TCNJ 25-10, Ithaca beat fellow D3 Castleton 35-6, while TCNJ beat Castleton 30-12. St. Cloud State had a second shutout, beating American International 54-0. UPJ opened with a win over Ithaca 25-12, Johnson & Wales also beat American International 45-3 and Castleton did get one win, beating Alfred State 49-0.

I think I spend more time watching DIY videos on YouTube these days than I do watching anything else on the platform. Why? My home renovation, which has entered its fourth month, is nearly complete. The basement was half finished, but now, we’ll have a legit, legal guest bedroom and I’ll have a dedicated studio and office space – tucked away from everyone. In 10 years, when I’ll have two teenage girls in the house, I’m going to probably need that hideaway – or speakeasy – if you will. So it’s time to learn how to build desks, build bars and accent walls. I’m Jason Bryant, and I’m also building quite the repository of podcasts, this is just one of them, it’s Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the day’s scores and more from around the world of wrestling. Dual Meets: In the second head-to-head dual between teams ranked in the Top 25 this season, No. 17 North Carolina edged No. 19 Michigan by a coincidentally similar 19-17 score. Each team won five matches, but the big difference were three additional bonus points earned at 174 pounds where Clay Lautt cradled up Reece Hughes and got the fall in the first period. North Carolina’s Austin Headlee made his move up two weight classes to 157 pounds a successful one, defeating highly touted redshirt freshman Will Lewan 5-2. Michigan’s Mason Parris had a chance to give the Wolverines the win, needing a fall at heavyweight, but managed a 4-0 win over Andrew Gunning. At a sold out Saegertown High School in Northwest Pennsylvania, No. 7 Wisconsin improved to 5-0 win a 28-15 win over the host Fighting Scots of Edinboro. The Badgers picked up falls from Seth Gross at 133 pounds, Tristan Moran at 141 and Evan Wick at 165 pounds. It was a homecoming, albeit a short trip, for Edinboro’s Cody Mulligan, a Saegertown native, who fell to Tyler Dow 5-2 at 184 pounds. In Division III, Western New England jumped out to a 23-4 lead over Norwich and ended up holding off a late rally to pick up a 26-19 win. While Norwich lost, give their Instagram a follow @cadetwrestling. It’s totally worth it if they post stuff like they did tonight from their duals. Quality stuff. Bluefield, the only NAIA school in Virginia, picked up a home win over Truett McConnell 28-19. Joseph Dudley and Creed Lumpp picked up falls for the Rams at 157 and 165 to help lift Jason Waelti’s squad to the win. The Muskegon Duals are going on in Michigan and the club team from Grand Valley State picked up wins against Trine and Olivet, while Niagara Community College picked off the first-year NAIA program at Rochester (Mich.) and host Muskegon. Late Thursday: Division II San Francisco State, led by head coach and past three-time Northwestern All-American Jason Welch, spoiled Vanguard’s first home dual in 39 years as the Gators topped the Lions 39-11. Vanguard is coached by California native and former UNI Panther Caleb Flores. In Ashland, Oregon, No. 2 Menlo topped Southern Oregon 32-12 as the pair of women’s teams in the NAIA’s Cascade Conference did

As you’ve most certainly heard by now, my wife, who is a complete Rockstar at her job, is coming back from China today. In fact, she’ll probably be walking in on the recording of the end of this episode. So another week, I’ve survived the challenges and championships of being a parent. Today, I chaperoned my daughter Lucy’s second-grade field trip to one of the history places in St. Paul. My wife does most of this stuff, since a lot of the times, I’m at a tournament or something. Today was great to see my daughter interact with her friends. She’s been through a lot already, but just one of those days where my own survival instincts and being overwhelmed by the sheer volume of fruit snacks and chattering seven-year-olds were in a cohesive balance. I’m Jason Bryant, this is Short Time Shots, a look at the scores and more from around the world of wrestling. Dual Meets: Limited night again with ranked Division I teams in action, we kick things off as No. 5 Nebraska got into the groove early, hosting a trio of non-Division I opponents in Lincoln. The Huskers only wrestled twice, beating a pair of Division II squads - Nebraska-Kearney 47-0 and Chadron State 37-3. Other outcomes saw Nebraska-Kearney blank NAIA Hastings 54-0 and Chadron State beat Hastings 45-3. Out in New York, No. 7 Wisconsin beat host Buffalo 33-3 at Mayhem on the Mainstage, another presentation of collegiate wrestling in a theater setting. Depending on what rankings you look at, there weren’t many ranked matchups here. Seth Gross beat Derek Spann 7-2 at 133 for the Badgers, while two-time All-American Evan Wick beat Troy Keller at 165. Loras, the top-ranked team in Division III, opened up its dual meet season with a 51-6 win over American Rivers Conference rival Buena Vista on Thursday. All nine wins from the Duhawks were bonus victories, including six falls. Keeping it D3, Wisconsin-Whitewater topped Wisconsin-Oshkosh 26-18. Mike and Devin Totorice were impressive for the Warhawks as Mike picked up a tech fall at 125 and Devin a major decision at 149. In the NAIA, the coaching debut of Steve Komac was a successful one as No. 16 Providence (Mont.) knocked off rival and No. 17 Montana State-Northern 25-22. Warner Pacific picked up a fall from heavyweight Cortez Rodelo in nine seconds to lift the Knights, spoiling the first dual in school history for host Corban University. Benedictine (Kan.) and Waldorf wrestled to a 5-5 split, but two forfeits were the difference as Benedictine, they’re the Ravens, nevermore, beat Waldorf 21-18. Now a run of mixed-divisional results, first in Ohio where former InterMat results maven Dan Ransick continues to be boiling mad, Division II Ashland topped NAIA Lourdes 29-12, with 2018 Division II champion Bret Romanzak picking up a 6-0 win at 174 pounds. In the Upper Midwest, Division II Northern State spanked Division III John’s – the one in Minnesota - 42-3. St. John’s Jacob Scherber won the bout’s first match at 174 pounds, but the next nine went the w

Getting back into the flow of college wrestling season is always one of those things where you’re all fired up and excited and doing so many things, and then by April, you’re like totally spent. Only this year, April means the Olympic Trials! Yes, it’s the first week of November, it’s already snowed twice here in Minnesota and I might already be overdoing it here with Short Time Shots. But have no fear, it’s still pushing through the adversity that is week one of the college wrestling season. It’s too early to whine, I’m Jason Bryant. Dual Meets: With Tommy Baranowski and Kevin Claunch from Bloodround on the call, Division II Davenport went into Alma College’s gym and beat the Division III Scots 25-20. Rock On. Tommy offered his referee-endorsing apologist viewpoint, while Claunch was spending so much time looking at wrestler’s feet. Ok, he’s a shoe guy, Promo Code Blood20, right guys? The Danny Irwin era at West Liberty got off to a strong start as the Division II Hilltoppers won nine of 10 bouts to defeat the NAIA Golden Bears of West Virginia Tech 48-3. Fastest fall of the night came at 285 where Chase Logan of West Liberty picked up the win in 1:41. The Nick Soto era at St. Andrews wasn’t as welcoming as Division II Belmont Abbey cruised past NAIA St. Andrews 43-6 in a matchup between North Carolina schools. Quick fall for Belmont Abbey was Chandler Echols’ 41-second fall at 174 pounds. In a dual that actually involved two teams from the same Division, that being Division III, Ferrum beat Greensboro 30-6. Both of Ferrum’s returning All-Americans, Levi Englman and Mario Vasquez earned victories at 133 and 141 – respectively of course. Both schools are relatively new programs. A fall at heavyweight by Bridgewater State’s Ryan Higgins was doubly impactful on Wednesday. Not only did his fall tie the team score at the end of the 10 bouts, it was the tie-breaking criteria as it was the dual’s only one and it lifted Bridgewater State past New England College 20-19. I watched most of that dual. Nebraska Wesleyan spoiled the debut of the new Division III program at Fontbonne, that’s in St. Louis. The Prairie Wolves won 38-13 with All-American Eron Haynes, the newly minted American Rivers Conference Wrestler of the Week, picking up a fall in 86 seconds at 133 pounds. In the NAIA, Graceland fell behind the brand new program at Central Methodist 12-0 after three weights, but would win the six of the next seven weights and come away with a 27-15 win in Fayette, Missouri. In the NJCAA, Niagara Community College opened up with a 28-20 win over Mercyhurst North East. Niagara won three of the last four weights to pull out the win, highlighted by Adam Mateo’s fall at 184 pounds. Northwest Tech beat Otero 42-18. PROMO CODE WARNING: I’ve recently posted on Twitter about the number of wrestling podcasts currently out in the wild. There’s about 63 active shows with 20 of them on the Mat Talk Podcast Network. I want people making good decisions when it comes

Penn State Media Day with head coach Cael Sanderson

Short Time Shots: 11-05-19
It’s Tuesday, so that means all the rankings in the world are now available in Division I wrestling. Flowrestling, Trackwrestling, AWN, WIN, The Open Mat, InterMat, the society for the reintroduction of feral cats and Nipsey Russell’s House of Hustle have all released their college rankings. They come out Monday or Tuesday, you know where to go for them, so I won’t bog down the show with notes about them here. I will say, I do despise tournament rankings being used for dual meet promotion. You wrestle duals, use dual meet rankings. Several of them are also out there – pick one. Starting off the show with a rant rather than a rub, this is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores and more from around the world of wrestling. I’m Jason Bryant. Limited night in duals, so we’ll just throw out what we’ve got before it gets too late and my kids wake back up. My wife’s still in China, which means I’m still in survival mode. I love my kids, but you really do lose all sense of personal time when you’re watching them solo. Tonight, it was the Little Mermaid Live. Under the Sea, take it from me … there’s some messed up lyrics in Disney films. Minnesota Beer of the Night: And you know the NCAA Division I Championships are coming to Minneapolis this year. So with that in mind, when relevant, I’ll give you my Minnesota beer of the night. Tonight, it’s Pixel Bot, a New England IPA that’s 7.6% ABV, but a smooth 11 IBUs. If you don’t know what that means, it means its not bitter and has a bit of a kick. It’s by Tin Whiskers Brewing Company in St. Paul. Dual Meets: It was a men’s-women’s Division III doubleheader in Naperville, Illinois on Tuesday night as North Central College picked up a pair of wins over MacMurray College. On the women’s side, the Cardinals won the first dual meet in school history with a 27-21 win. Of the seven matches contested, North Central won six. On the men’s side, North Central used four forfeits to win comfortably 47-6. In Little Rock, Division II Ouachita Baptist won a pair of duals, first topping host Arkansas Baptist, an NJCAA school, 40-6, then beating NAIA Central Baptist 36-17. Arkansas Baptist upended Central Baptist 24-14. That’s the extent of Tuesday’s scores. PROMO CODE WARNING: I posted on Twitter today about the number of wrestling podcasts currently out in the wild. There’s about 63 active shows with 20 of them on this here Mat Talk Podcast Network. I want people making good decisions when it comes to choosing a podcast hosting company.

Short Time Shots: 11-04-19
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 Amigo

Short Time Shots: 11-03-19
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 wr

Short Time Shots - November 2, 2019
It’s Short Time Shots for November 2, 2019. In Duals: Fueled by victories from B.C. LaPrade at 157 pounds and Hunter Bolen at 184 pounds, No. 16 Virginia Tech picked up its first win in school history over Missouri, beating the No. 9 Tigers 29-10 in Blacksburg. The Hokies won the last four matches of the dual, which included a forfeit at 133 and a 26-second fall by Mitch Moore at 141 pounds to close out the win. 24 Virginia went 2-0, beating Maryland 34-6 and Division III Southern Virginia 50-3. Maryland picked up the first win of the Alex Clemsen era with a win over Southern Virginia 42-6. Of note for people back home, Patrick McCormick from Poquoson, Virginia - that’s my hometown - registered a forfeit W at 125 against Southern Virginia. It’s my show, I’ll mention irrelevant forfeit wins by kids from my hometown if I want. Rutgers opened up the season with three wins, picking up a win over newly branded Division I LIU 43-3, the top-ranked team in Division II, Pitt-Johnstown, 22-9 and Division III Centenary 38-6. Edinboro opened up year two of the Matt Hill era with three wins, two over non-Division I foes Mercyhurst North East and Ashland and its first MAC win over new conference mate Kent State. In the 29-6 win over Kent State, the top win there was Jacob Oliver’s pin over Andrew McNally at 174 pounds. As SID Bob Shreve wrote, Edinboro eclipsed last year’s win total in one day. While listed as an exhibition, it’s a notable that the revived wrestling program at Division II Fairmont State in West Virginia picked up a win over Garrett Community College of Maryland 30-22 on Saturday. It’s the second win in as many days for a new or reinstated program in the state. On Friday, Davis & Elkins opened with a win. In Division III, Messiah won its Messiah Invitational with four champions - Josiah Gehr at 133, Garrett Cornell at 141, Nick Barnhardt at 149 and Stephen Maloney at 157 pounds. Messiah outdistanced second-place Ursinus5 to 81. Up in Ithaca, Johnson & Wales took home top honors as three Wildcats won titles - Hayden Brown at 133, Gabriel McDaniel at 141 and Da’mani Burns at 149. Baldwin Wallace was second and picked up a pair of champions - Stanley Bleich at 157 and Zeckary Lehman at 197. Host Ithaca was third and also had three champs. Keeping it Division III, Millikin’s Big Blue beat Elmhurst 29-18 Mixing things up, we have LeRoy Gardner’s University of the Ozarks of Division III picking up a 41-10 win over NAIA Lyon College in a battle of Arkansas schools. Out West, North Idaho of the NJCAA beat NAIA’s Eastern Oregon 26-19. Keeping with the NAIA, Oklahoma City, coached by Olympian Sam Hazewinkel, blanked Oklahoma Wesleyan 55-0. In Tournaments: Michigan State Open: Ohio State’s Sammy Sasso make his official college debut one to remember as he trounced the field in East Lansing. Sasso had three falls and two technical falls - including a tech over Michigan’s Kanen Storr in the finals. Sasso also decked Purdue’s Nate Limmex in the quarters. P

Short Time Shots - November 1, 2019
It's the return of Short Time Shots, a mostly nightly collection of scores and more from around the world of wrestling. I'm your host Jason Bryant, and the only bad jokes I know, are dad jokes. If you grew up in the 80s, you might like my references. Top Results: The first Division I dual meet of the year came and went in sunny San Diego, which is Spanish for something involving a whale. The sixth-ranked Wisconsin Badgers opened up year two of the Chris Bono era with a 31-8 win over Fresno State at the "AFC Duals," which is not a West Coast version of KFC. You know how Carl's Jr. is the Western version of Hardees, well, sorry to disappoint. Seth Gross returned to action with a fall at 133 pounds over NCAA qualifier Gary Joint in probably the dual's most notable match. Wisconsin's ranking as a dual meet squad might be a little lofty. Unranked Army West Point pushed the Badgers to the limit as the Badgers escaped 16-15 as Trent Hillger closed things out again for UW. Navy also beat Fresno State 25-9 before the night concluded with Army West Point beating Fresno State 26-10 on the Battle on the Midway. It was on a BOAT! This episode was actually held up so we could get the final score of that dual and not just fake it. No. 7 Minnesota opened up its season with a 28-9 win over CSU Bakersfield at Maturi Pavilion. The dual saw Manny Rivera return to his old stomping grounds. Top match there was freshman Brayton Lee holding on to beat Russell Rohlfing at 149 pounds. Elsewhere in Division I, Chattanooga topped SIUE 29-14 and Cleveland State beat a pair of Division III teams, John Carroll 27-14 and Case Western Reserve 51-(-1). In Division II, Davis & Elkins won the school's inaugural dual meet against Alderson Broaddus 36-12. Falls were registered by 125-pounder Shawn Moore and 157-pounder John Finnerty. The Senators jumped out to a 36-0 lead in an impressive debut. Hat tip to head coach Jerry Boland, know that guy from years coaching at Camden Catholic down at the Virginia Duals. No. 1 Pitt-Johnstown opened up its season beating East Stroudsburg 38-8. Also in Division III, Brockport blanked Penn State Behrend 50-0, UW-Platteville edged Cornell College 18-16. Isaac Wiegel's fall at 125 proved to be the key bonus points for Mike DeRoehn's Pioneers. My apologies to Jim Heath. Don't worry, it's an inside joke. In the NAIA, Jamestown (N.D.) beat York (Neb.) 42-7 and Midland 48-3. Overseas, no Americans will be wrestling for medals as the first day of Greco-Roman completed at the U23 World Championships in Budapest. On the women's side, Kayla Miracle, a four-time WCWA champion during her time at Campbellsville University, finished with a silver medal in women's freestyle at 62kg. What's on the docket: On Saturday, November 2, we have action at a number of opens, including Michigan State, Jamestown, Rochester - neither of those last two are in New York - as well as finishing off action at the Ithaca Invitational in Division III. There's duals across the

Bill’s face down in work with the clinic, so Al will again, come to the aid of his friend, which is a theme that began with the two over 20 years ago.

Team USA's Mallory Velte and Alex Glaude grew high school friendship through wrestling
Episode 529: Mallory Velte didn’t think Alex Glaude was going to make it. Years later, as the two sat in Tokyo, Japan at Makuhari Messe Event Hall, Velte and Glaude reminisced about the first time they stepped on the mat at Sacramento, California’s Christian Brothers High School. While no means a powerhouse wrestling school, the program would eventually produce a World bronze medalist in Velte and a U23 world bronze medalist in Glaude. While it took a while for the two to become friends, their relationship has grown through wrestling and it’s taken them around the world. I’m Hall of Fame wrestling writer and broadcaster Jason Bryant and today on the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Velte and Glaude will go back in time and recall the first time they met one another on the wrestling mat and the cool story that’s followed them around the world ever since. The pair were part of the five-person team from the U.S. that was competing at Ready Steady Tokyo, a test event that served as a dry run for the competition venue for the 2020 Olympic Games coming up in just under a year.

Looking back at 20 years of the Super 32
It's a special look back at 20 years of the Super 32 on the Short Time Wrestling Podcast! Back in 2000, I was still in college at Old Dominion. I was working on tracking down results from any and all high school tournaments and after attending my first USA Wrestling Cadet & Junior Nationals the summer prior, I started covering more off-season stuff for the first iteration of Mat Talk Online. This involved fall folkstyle events from USAW and the AAU, spring freestyle and paying attention to out-of-state tournaments where Virginia teams participated. One of those tournaments popped up in 2000, my fourth year in college at ODU and my fourth running Mat Talk Online. It was the Super 32. I first noticed it that fall when a local wrestler in the coverage area of the newspaper I was working at won at 119 pounds. George Dodson was an Eagle Scout from Denbigh High Sc hool who never reached the Group AAA state tournament. Then I saw Drake Dickenson’s name. Drake wrestled at Magna Vista in the Southwest portion of Virginia before crossing the state line to wrestle for Dave Barker at Eden-Morehead. And that’s how it all began for me. This list is a look back at things that make me go “oh wow,” and is not designed to be an inclusive list. During the 2005-08 years, I ran InterMat for the NWCA, which then owned the site. So my knowledge of high school wrestling from that era was in top form. Prior to 2005, I worked and lived in Virginia, so that’s where the lion’s share of my knowledge existed. In 2000, the very first champion was at 101.1 pounds and it was host Morehead’s Chris Moore defeating future Virginia four-time state champion Matt Epperly of Christiansburg, Virginia. Epperly went on to wrestle at Virginia Tech and qualified for the NCAA Division I Championships twice. Current UNC Pembroke coach Othello “O.T.” Johnson claimed a title at 163 pounds, beating Chris Ward of James Madison High School in Virginia. One time in Fargo, Ward got out after curfew. Team Virginia coach Ben Summerlin ran him outside until he puked. In 2001, David Barker cites this as a turning point in the tournament’s second year. Virginia powerhouse Great Bridge shows up and crowns four champions. Daren Burns, who wrestled at UNC Greensboro, was third at 190 pounds. He got better. In 2002, the word is out. The Super 32 is now challenging the Lock Haven Fall Classic as the top preseason event on the east coast and the event is starting to gain traction nationally. A middle school division is added as well. Ashtin Primus from Connellsville, Pennsylvania comes down and cradles his way to a title. Future Division III All-American Donny Ooton of Great Bridge wins at 140, while future Old Dominion All-American Chris Brown wins at 145. In 2003, we’ve got nationally ranked wrestlers hitting one another before the finals. Eric Hoffman, a future NJCAA national champion from Iowa Central and D1 national qualifier comes out from Iowa where he falls in the finals to Dusty McKinney at 125

Training Mark Madsen with UFC veteran Martin Kampmann
Coming back from Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan and the 2019 World Wrestling Championships, we get a little bit of an MMA insight with today's guest, former UFC fighter and Denmark native Martin Kampmann. Kampmann was alongside multiple-time World and Olympic Greco-Roman medalist Mark Madsen in Kazakhstan as Madsen was preparing for his upcoming UFC debut on September 29 in Copenhagen, Denmark. Kampmann, who spent seven years in the UFC, is training with Madsen and making sure he's still getting his reps in before the fight. He explains Madsen's relevance in Denmark as well as his own eye-opening experience attending his first World Wrestling Championships.

Short Time Topics: Yianni-Zain, 1967 East-West All-Star and your favorite All-Star Matches
We’ve got electricians, we’ve got plumbing and we’ve got mouse ears! That’s right, the Short Time Wrestling Podcast is heading to Orlando. My wife and kids and I will head to Disney World. We’ll be hitting a few different places, spending time by the pool, sweating, having breakfast with Cinderella and everyt hing else that goes with it. My seven-year-old has been writing about this on the dry erase board for months, while my three-year-old would rather watch PJ Masks, which isn’t a Disney thing. This, however, is the Short Time Wrestling Podcast and I’m still working without a proper studio, so I’m still doing the solo show topic episode. Last time, we had a lot of great feedback with the pro wrestling topic. Before we get to all that - a quick hit on the Yianni-Zain thing. While I wasn’t at the NWCA Convention, I did get word there were some ideas being tossed around about the NWCA All-Star Classic and the future of that event. This prompted me to ask you what your favorite All-Star Classic match of all-time was. So before we get to those answers, let’s give you a little bit of backstory on the event. The East-West All-Star Classic first started in 1967 and was held after the season in Stillwater, Oklahoma. The event continued to be an East-West dual meet through 1987 when the team scoring component was taken out of the event. In 1973, the event moved to an in-season event, taking place in late January or early February until 2004. The NWCA opted to put the event in November to avoid matchups being dumped amidst concern for seed protection and coaches citing injury concerns so close to the postseason. The late November date went for eight seasons before the NWCA moved the event to the opening weekend of the college wrestling season in order to make it a kickoff weekend for college wrestling. The last two events have featured a large presence of women’s college wrestlers, which the NAIA has already created women’s wrestling as an invitational sport, while the NCAA is close to granting women’s wrestling emerging sports status. One of the most recent complaints coming from fans is that the event hasn’t been a real “All-Star” event because there are so few No. 1 vs. No. 2 wrestlers. Statistically, only one dual in recent memory (Penn State vs. Ohio State in 2017-18) featured as many All-Americans and top-ten wrestlers than the All-Star Classic typically does. Denver in 2018-19 was a notable exception as the card was split between men and women. This will be the 54th edition of the NWCA All-Star Classic. No, I do not yet know where the next edition will be, but before I get to your responses on your favorite All-Star Classic match of all-time, let’s go back to Stillwater, Oklahoma and then-Gallagher Arena, they didn’t add the Iba until later. Of the 11 weight classes – yes 11 – we had eight individual NCAA champions, and 21 of the 22 wrestlers were All-Americans. In addition to the eight champions, we had three runners-up, three thirds, t

Where did the stigma of "pro wrestling" go?
Episode 525 is a little different as we take to Twitter and Facebook to ask fans about the stigma of "pro wrestling" and why "our" side of the sport seems to be less annoyed with the pro wrestling/sports entertainment side of it. So there's the question of the week! Next week's question: What's your favorite All-Star Classic match of all-time?

Joe Jamison has big shoes to fill as new coach at Ursinus
After 38 years, a new man will be leading Ursinus College into battle next season. Longtime coach Bill Racich passed away at the beginning of last season and Josh Mangle stepped in as the interim coach to close out the season. The 2019-20 season will begin with King's College alum and longtime Princeton assistant Joe Jamison taking the helm. Jamison had been coaching with the Princeton Wrestling Club after a run as an assistant at the Division I program in New Jersey.

Looking back at 20 years in Fargo
1999 – First Year Was working at a KFC in the Grafton section of Yorktown, Va. Got a call from Mike Newbern. “Twink, Gary Alcon (ref) can't make it, do you want to go to Fargo?” That right there changed it all. Everything. Stayed in Reed Johnson Hall. Virginian Christian Smith made the Cadet Freestyle finals at 83.5 pounds. He ended up being a 3x state champion and NCAA qualifier for Duke and Liberty (He took down Nickerson in 2007 to open up the tournament). There was no Buffalo Wild Wings. There was a Bison Turf, there was a mug and I may or may not have been from Alabama. Or named Kevin. Shared a dial-up line with Sara Koenig from NCMat.com (you know her now as one of the tournament directors for the Super 32. Rob Sherrill vouched for me for a media credential. Thankfully, I'd met him in Virginia at the Virginia Duals when I was in high school. Don't remember much about the competition since I was still pretty new to the national scene. We had the Dream Team Classic in VA that year, so I paid attention to guys like Foley Dowd, Jason Powell, Clark Forward — and two of those Team USA guys met in the finals, Damion Hahn beat Jason Potter. 2000 – Year 2 Buffalo Wild Wings Opened. Taco Bell re-opened, it was closed the year before for renovations. Harry Lester vs. Mark Jayne, Junior Greco. Jayne was returning JR. Champ, Lester won cadets the year before. 3-5-3 (BOOM). 132 pounds. Virginia had two cadet champs – Christian Staylor and Albert Childress (almost bookends) Kid named Tyler Safratowich of Minnesota won at 83.5 pounds, did a backflip, then he started eating. Mary Kelly going 2-2 in Cadet Freestyle and Micah Amrozowicz, now the head coach at the Newport News Apprentice School, having to come from behind to beat her 8-7. 2001 – Year 3 Started doing freelance work for TheMat.com and wrote features on the Dibbern triplets, Mary Kelly wrestling against the boys in the Juniors. Cerebral Palsy kid J.C. McMaster – his e-mail address was pimp_limpin@ something another dot com. Jeff Courtney, a deaf All-American from West Virginia ? and TRAVIS EFFING LEE. Lee “leis' greco gold. Beat Nick Simmons. Stopping Simmons from becoming just the second guy to win 4 JR FS titles. As of right now, it’s only Alan Fried. 2002 – Year 4 – Drove from ODU. FIRST YEAR OF FEDERATION WEIGHTS. WENT FROM 96 AAS TO 120 IN JUNIORS 104-136 Started bringing my radio equipment and doing the webcast for USAW with Rob and the late Jon Ponwani. Cleveland – NO Chicago – Driving down Addison, game over Milwaukee – Karaoke at a Friday's in Brookfield, WIS Minneapolis – Twins vs. Angels, Milton vs. Washburn, preview of ALCS First year of Junior Women — Malinda Ripley beat Mary Kelly in the finals. Who the hell is Malinda Ripley? Natasha Umemoto was 3rd. She got the first pin of the tournament ever. Poeta beat Metcalf in Cadet FS. Only finals loss in Metcalf's Fargo career. Stepovers, if I recall correctly for exposure. Decent year from VA, Anthony Burke from my club was 5th in a brack

Coach Jason Schweer talks about the loss of his Kansas Wesleyan wrestling program
The NAIA has grown considerably over the past decade. The college wrestling opportunities in Kansas have also grown during that span. This is why the announcement that came from Kansas Wesleyan University on May 14 was a stunner to many - the school was dropping wrestling after only four seasons. On Episode 508 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, KWU head coach Jason Schweer, who'd been on the job less than one year, explains some of what the issues were, why the team struggled with numbers and how the school struggled with stability with three coaches in the first four years of the squad. What's next for Schweer? Is there any chance to bring back a program that was dropped as a result of a school-wide budget issue? Was the staff given what it needed to be able to recruit and compete?

Washington native and Indian women's national freestyle coach Andy Cook
When Andy Cook talks about his wrestling career, he doesn't hide the fact he didn't do the right things in college. After washing out his collegiate career and spending time away from the sport, Cook found his way back, eventually starting a club in the Pacific Northwest. A few years later, he was the head women's coach at Grays Harbor College in Aberdeen, Washington and on tours with Team USA. Now Cook finds himself in the lead women's coaching position with the Indian National Team. How does a club coach in Washington end up being the leader of a foreign national team?

Tony Hager on the new plan for Takedown Radio and TheOpenMat
Tony Hager wasn't exactly looking to carve out a career in wrestling media. Rather, it was his time away from the sport combined with an idea to do something to help people like him understand what was going on around his favorite teams that launched him into the sport's coverage wing. On Episode 504 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, I talk with Hager about the foundation of IAwrestle.com and the new brand of content you'll see on Takedown Wrestling Media, also known as Takedown Radio. Hager catches us up to speed about what's going on with the ownership of the longtime radio program and what the relationship is with ASM and The Open Mat. PROMO NOTE: The first few minutes of the show focus on the new offering from Mat Talk Online called ROCKED UP, which focuses on the story of Little Rock's Division I Wrestling program.

Ronnie Delk, coach of the legendary Perry (Okla.) wrestling program
The long and storied history of Perry High School wrestling in Perry, Oklahoma is being chronicled in an upcoming documentary. That storied history added another milestone last month when Perry won the school's 1,000th dual meet. On Episode 495 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, I talk with head coach Ronnie Delk, an Oklahoma State alum, in his eighth year coaching the program. The school and town center around wrestling, with a noted monument dedicated to all its state champions as well as historical heroes like Jack VanBebber and Danny Hodge. What's it like being an "outsider" coaching in Perry? How relevant is Danny Hodge today? What about guys like Jake Hager? How did Delk's battles with Daniel Frishkorn for the starting spot at 141 pounds at Oklahoma State impact his career and impact how he coaches kids?

Menlo women's coach Joey Bareng and the path to a national title
Menlo College is a small, business-minded school in California's Silicon Valley. Joey Bareng is a native Hawaiian who found himself ready to coach. Six years ago, Bareng took over at Menlo and the slow process of building the women's program from the bottom to the top began. That process came to a head on February 9 as Menlo won the school's first national title in any sport as the Oaks won the WCWA championship and crowned three individual winners. On Episode 494 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Bareng will talk about his beginnings in Hawaii, wrestling at San Francisco State and jumping right into coaching. Bareng coached Alleida Martinez, Gracie Figueroa and Solin Piearcy to national titles this season, the first national champs in Menlo's history that weren't named Fulp-Allen. What's the future look like for the school of barely 750 students? What about the growth of women's wrestling and the recruiting grounds in California that he's finally been able to pluck talent?

Conner Ward, Little Rock's team of one, is in the nation's most unique wrestling situation
The Mat Talk Podcast Network will launch a year-long series about the start of Little Rock's Division I wrestling program later this winter. During a trip to Little Rock to collect interviews for the series, we sat down with freshman Conner Ward, a Kansas native who is the only wrestler that's currently a part of the program. We'll talk with Ward about what it's like to be the only guy "on the team" even though there isn't officially a team yet and what it's like to be the first building block to a new Division I program. Ward's story will be chronicled later on in 2019 with the launch of the Little Rock show, but this episode of Short Time is the raw interview as I sat down with Ward at the Arkansas Wrestling Academy on December 17, 2018.

Another 3-peat in California for Fresno City and coach Paul Keysaw
Fresno City College won its eighth California Community College state championship in the last 13 years and its second three-peat last weekend at Cerritos College in Southern California.

Frank Lipoli on the longevity and toughness of the Virginia Challenge Holiday Duals
It's been 20 years since a group of wrestling-minded fans, parents, promoters, and media-types got together and formed the Virginia Challenge, a youth-based wrestling group aimed at building wrestling in Virginia. One of the notable events that's come out of the formation of the Virginia Challenge is the annual Holiday Duals, held in Virginia Beach. Now in its 18th year, the VAC Holiday Duals is regarded as one of the toughest events among those in age-group wrestling. On Episode 481 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Virginia Challenge Executive Director Frank Lipoli joins in to talk about about the foundation of the event, his promotional efforts over the years and what it's been like to see this event grow into the monster that it is today.

Short Time Shots - November 30, 2018
No cheeky intros. No elaborate song lyrics sprinkled through. Today, it’s just wrestling. I’m Jason Bryant and this is Short Time Shots, a sometimes daily rundown of the day’s wrestling scores and more. There will be more on the AWL in other episodes, since this show concentrates on the college levels of the sport. Highlights though were Jordan Oliver knocking off Zain Retherford, Alex Dieringer beating Isaiah Martinez, Cory Clark beating Tony Ramos and Kyven Gadson giving a very short interview after he beat Jacob Kasper to get to the hospital, where he had a baby on the way - like literally any minute. All those results on Trackwrestling. Check the daily newsletter at mattalkonline.com/news or the @mattalkonline twitter for links to the recaps. In Las Vegas, as always, there were some solid upsets and individual wins. Ohio State put six into the semis, so that’s the short version. All that can be viewed at Flowrestling. But here’s some of the quarterfinal notables from Friday in Lost Wages. Notables from each weight: At 125: North Dakota State’s Brent Fleetwood stormed into the semifinals with back-to-back wins over Louie Hayes and Zeke Moisey. He’ll face top-seeded Sebastian Rivera of Northwestern, while down low, it’s a 2-3 matchup with Minnesota’s Sean Russell facing Oregon State’s Ronnie Bresser. At 133: Pittsburgh’s Micky Phillipi upended Minnesota’s Ethan Lizak 4-0 in the quarters to reach Saturday’s semifinals. He’ll face second-seeded Luke Pletcher of Ohio State, while up top, it’s No. 1 Nick Suriano of Rutgers and No. 4 John Erneste of Mizzou. Erneste is 3-0 with three first-period falls. At 141: Second-seeded Jaydin Eierman gave up a reversal and then outlasted Michigan’s Kanen Storr 3-2 in the tiebreakers. Eierman will see a familiar foe, Illinois’ Mikey Carr in the semis. Up top, it’s one vs. four with Joey McKenna of Ohio State meeting Northern Iowa’s Josh Alber. Storr, by the way, knocked off Chad Red of Nebraska in the Round of 16. All-American Red was bounced out of the tournament in the consolations. At 149: Clarion’s Brock Zacherl upended All-American Grant Leeth and his neckbrace 3-2 in the quarterfinals courtesy of a third-period takedown. Zacherl will face Micah Jordan of Ohio State in the semis, while fifth-seeded Mitch Finesilver of Duke reached the semis after beating All-American Max Thomsen of Northern Iowa 3-2. Finesilver will face Rutgers’ Anthony Ashnault. At 157: The on-again, off-again Griffin Parriott is on again. The Purdue sophomore beat All-American Tyler Berger of Nebraska 4-2 in the quarters and earned the right to face fifth-seeded Taleb Rahmani of Pittsburgh. Rahmani beat Eric Barone of Illinois, who had previously bumped off Ohio State’s Ke-shawn Hayes. Down low, it’s Kennedy Monday of UNC against Ryan Deakin of Northwestern. At 165: Michigan’s Logan Massa seems back in his Super Saiyan Level 3 form. He breezed into the semis and will face fourth-seeded Isaiah White of Nebraska. Just so you know,

Jonny Ruggiano talking all things American Wrestling League
Jonny Ruggiano of Titan Mercury Wrestling Club and the Executive Director of the American Wrestling League comes on Short Time to talk about the idea behind the upcoming AWL and to answer questions about the long-term viability of the league, why it's in the current format, its future prospectus and more. Lots of Q&A here and it should fill in plenty of gaps for fans willing to find out more. The AWL featuring Team Dake vs. Team Taylor starts on November 30 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Short Time Shots - November 18, 2018
Sure enough, the first full day with the new car, and I have to take my wife’s Pontiac G6 down to Maturi Pavilion. Why? I don’t quite yet know how to park our new monstrosity and her car fits in better places. Yup, it’s a Sunday in college wrestling and we’ve got some real fun stuff to discuss. I’m Jason Bryant and this is Short Time Shots, a look at the day’s happenings in college wrestling from around the world. I don’t have any funny anecdotes to share today, other than man, my fantasy football teams SUCK. Like bad. Horrible. Hashtag #NoOneCaresAboutYourFantasyTeam. I’ll start off at the dual I was at today as No. 4 Oklahoma State pulled away from No. 13 Minnesota 23-9 in front of over 3,000 fans at Maturi Pavilion. We saw two highly anticipated bouts and five overall that featured both competitors in the national rankings. After a rather uneventful Cowboy win at 125 pounds, Daton Fix of Oklahoma State knocked off Minnesota’s two-time All-American Ethan Lizak 6-1 at 133 pounds. Lizak is every bit of 133 and this new weight class should serve him well. Fix and Lizak got involved in some fun scrambles, but a pair of takedowns AND a reversal helped give the Cowboy redshirt freshman the W. I talk with Fix and a bunch of Gophers on The Guillotine Grapevine, which you can also find on the Mat Talk Podcast Network. Bonus wins by Chandler Rogers, Jacobe Smith and Dakota Geer allowed the Cowboys to pull ahead, even after a lost team point during the 133-pound bout. Minnesota did give their fans something to cheer about as Gable Steveson’s first home dual was a big W as he used a first period takedown and set of four nearfall points to top All-American Derek White 8-2 at 285 pounds. Again, hear from Gable, Eggum, Fix and Mitch McKee, who FINALLY beat Kaid Brock in a folkstyle match on the latest edition of The Guillotine Grapevine. No. 2 Ohio State had no Myles Martin and no Kollin Moore, but the Buckeyes had enough to beat Arizona State 22-17 in Tempe. Zahid Valencia of ASU beat TeShan Campbell at 174 pounds, while Micah Jordan registered a solid 18-8 major decision over Josh Maruca at 149 pounds. Lineups weren’t exactly at 100 percent for either team, but No. 5 Michigan topped No. 6 Lehigh 21-13 at Crisler. At 174, Myles Amine topped Jordan Kutler 6-4 at 174 … and really, that’s the only matchup that really had ranked wrestlers. We had an injury default with Malik Amine dropping a match to Jimmy Hoffman and Lehigh’s Jordan Wood majoring Luke Ready at heavyweight. Other than that, nothing really riveting, other than this match was supposed to be wrestled on Friday, but snow moved it to Sunday. Virginia Tech will limp home to Blacksburg after taking two losses on the road this weekend. No. 25 Northwestern used a major decision at heavyweight by Conan Jennings to knock off the 10th-ranked Hokies 20-16 in Evanston. The key match there came at 149 pounds where Shayne Oster upended Ryan Blees 8-7 in the tiebreaker. No. 12 Nebraska topped No. 18 Wyom

Short Time Shots - November 17, 2018
If you recently listened to the episode of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast where Kyle Klingman and I talked about our experiences 10 years ago with the Wrestling 411 project, you’ll know that year, I totaled my car and had to buy a new one. Well, it’s almost fitting that we put a bow on that year in an episode and my trusty 2008 Chevy Trailblazer finally got retired. My wife and I said the last time we got the car out of the shop - which happened to be in Iowa City prior to the World Cup - that this was the last repair. Anything else, and we’d get a new car. Sure enough, the driver’s side window went on the blink and with winter the way it is, that was the final straw. And no, we are NOT minivan folk. So rather than sit and watch wrestling on Saturday, I listened to ODU close out Foreman Field with a football victory and watched updates on Twitter - I’m Jason Bryant and this is Short Time Shots, an update for you, the wrestling fan, on the pertinent happenings in and around college wrestling for November 17. This day was actually pretty loaded when you look at it. There were 84 dual meets and over a dozen tournaments across all divisions - and that’s also exactly what this program covers - all divisions. If you do the math, there’s approximately 450 varsity college wrestling teams in this country. Division I accounts for 75 of those and it goes to 77 next year. That’s 17 percent of college wrestling. This show talks about that 17 percent and as much as the other 83 percent as possible. So enough with the car buying and the statistical pleasantries, let’s get to the upsets! Why are we starting with upsets? Because there were two of them on Saturday, the first seeing No. 24 North Carolina head to the valley of the sun and knock off No. 8 Arizona State in Tempe. The Tar Heels benefitted from a major decision at 141 pounds by Jaime Hernandez and a fall from Devin Kane at 174 and a rare brother vs. brother matchup at 285 pounds. In case you’re wondering, returning national champion Zahid Valenica of Arizona State bumped up to 184 and beat All-American Chip Ness 9-6. That bump opened the door open for Kane to pin Jacen Petersen in the third period. With Carolina leading 16-15, Cory Daniel bested his younger brother Brady Daniel 12-3 to cement the upset for Coleman Scott’s squad. The other big upset on the day saw unranked Pitt pick up falls from Micky Phillipi and Taleb Rahmani as the Panthers from Pittsburgh knocked off the 14th-ranked Panthers of Northern Iowa 21-19. UNI led 19-15 heading into the final two bouts, but a pair of transfers - Kellan Stout and Demetrius Thomas - both picked up six-point decisions to give Keith Gavin his biggest win of his coaching career. Thomas, an NAIA national champion as a freshman and a runner-up a year ago, beat UNI’s Carter Isley 9-3 to make it a final. In Brookings, South Dakota, over 1,800 people were a bit let down as Seth Gross didn’t weigh-in, denying the much anticipated Gross vs. Daton Fix match fr

Short Time Shots - November 16, 2018
Friday night saw some tremendous action around the country, but most of it centered in Big Ten Country. That’s right, to hell with your high school football playoffs - except for Poquoson - Go Islanders - it’s wrestling season and we had some fun stuff on Friday night. This is Short Time Shots, a sometimes relevant look at the day’s scores and more in college wrestling, I’m Jason Bryant and Schell’s Firebrick might be my second favorite beer. My favorite beer sits across the border in Wisconsin. It’s called Spotted Cow. Speaking of Wisconsin, they Badgers and Chris Bono were wild and crazy on Friday night as they went to Lincoln and knocked off No. 12 Nebraska 22-21 on criteria. It was Coach Bono’s first Big Ten win as the Badgers head coach and it was all sorts of crazy. First off, Ryan Christensen rallied from a 6-4 third-period deficit to pin Nebraska’s Mikey Labriola with just a couple of ticks left on the clock at 174 pounds. Every point would count here as an excited Chris Bono was docked a team point for control of mat area. Another key bonus victory came at 125 pounds as Zeke Moisey benefitted from a quick injury default win over Connor Brown. Brown rolled his ankle in Moisey’s first attack of the match, and then tried to restart the bout. That didn’t happen and Nebraska went up 18-12 with just three weights to go. Jens Lantz came through for the Badgers at 133, delivering what could be the most relevant victory of his college career, a 10-3 win over Tucker Sjomeling. Then six more points came as 141 pound Tristan Moran pinned Nebraska reserve Christian Miller in the first period to give the Badgers a 21-18 lead heading 149. This one was wild. Cole Martin nearly ended it for the Badgers with a cradle, but then Collin Purinton turned the tables and nearly pinned Martin, which would have given the Huskers the win. Purinton got the W, but it was the second criteria - most falls that gave Bono and company the W. Oh, we didn’t even talk about the most anticipated match of the night - Evan Wick beat Isaiah White 12-5. Wick did it with only two takedowns and no nearfall points. Next time, me thinks White will NOT be taking down when he has choice as Wick drew three stall points while working on top at 165. No. 2 Ohio State ventured west and pounded Cal Baptist 42-0 in front of over 3,000 fans in Riverside, California. As I’ve mentioned on this show previously, Cal Baptist began its four-year transitional period to Division I this year and the Lancers aren’t hiding with a soft schedule. No. 3 Iowa hosted Princeton in just the second meeting between the two programs and the first in 17 years. The night started off with a highly anticipated matchup between returning national champion Spencer Lee of Iowa and Princeton’s highly regarded true freshman Pat Glory. Lee blew the doors off Glory, getting up 14-0 at one point before finishing off the technical fall in the second period. Back-to-back falls by Austin DeSanto and Max Murin fired up the

Ten years of podcasting with the rise and fall of Wrestling 411 (with Kyle Klingman)
Short Time goes into a deep dive into 10 years of podcasting with Jason Bryant and Kyle Klingman. In November of 2008, Wrestling 411 launched in what was supposed to be a three-pronged attack on wrestling promotion. A television show, a radio show and a web presence. Funding was ultimately dooming the project even before the hosts knew it, and it turned into one of the most interesting lame duck wrestling years of all time. Road trips to four national tournaments, launching the first true national wrestling podcast, covering coaching changes almost as they happened and a different approach to providing coverage. Wrestling 411 was ahead of its time and many of the ideas the project pushed out are being used today by various outlets in wrestling. It was a rough year in some aspects too, but check out the recap of the year Wrestling 411 essentially launched the national wrestling scene into the world of podcasting.

Short Time Shots - November 11, 2018
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

Short Time Shots - November 10, 2018
Pretty full plate of college wrestling action going down on Saturday, but first, my oldest Lucy still isn’t feeling good, but my wife survived her 20+ hour trip back to the U.S. from Singapore just in time to make dinner. I’m actually kidding. We picked up dinner on the way home from the airport and I do most of the cooking because I have the job that has the home office. She’s also like, super awesome at her job. With the homestead back to normal, save the kiddo being sick, I’d like to welcome you to Short Time Shots, a semi-daily podcast aimed at giving you, the wrestling fan, all you need to know about the night’s (or previous day’s) wrestling news in a short, somewhat funny, or not, format. I’m Jason Bryant and I’ve skipped over the Octoberfests and I’ve gone right to the porters and stouts! There were 24 duals in Division I on Saturday with most of them taking place in the Capital Region of New York where Mr. Awesome Frank Popolizio hosted the Journeymen MyHouse Northeast Duals. We saw a lot of good individual action and a few upsets, but the biggest one team-wise came as Utah Valley knocked off No. 15 Rutgers 24-14. Rutgers jumped out to a big lead early, with a pair of major decisions at 125 and 133. After Utah Valley’s Matt Findlay picked up a fall at 141, Rutgers’ Anthony Ashnault matched it with a fall of his own at 149, giving Rutgers a 14-4 lead after four matches. Now, say it in your Red Dawn voice, the WOLVERINES, reeled off six straight wins to close things out, the biggest likely being Grant LaMont’s 9-6 win over John Van Brill at 157 pounds. Tanner Orndorff’s 9-2 win over Matthew Correnti sealed the deal after 197. Utah Valley did fight pretty hard earlier in the day, and that’s just not one of those cliché headlines when a team gets blown out. Yes, we saw a few of those already with teams “fighting hard” in a 48-3 loss or something like that. Yeah, you actually didn’t. You know who did, though? Utah Valley. No. 12 Nebraska, which was favored by like 19.5 points according to that one online sportsbook that’s now throwing out wrestling lines, needed a crucial win at 197 pounds by Eric Schultz to avoid the upset. Even without Zeke Moisey for that dual, the Huskers held on 19-15. No. 12 Nebraska went 3-0 on the day, also picking up a 28-9 win over Drexel and a 21-15 win over Virginia. No, we didn’t see Louie Hayes vs. Zeke Moisey. Moisey wrestled one match on the day, one where he had to do everything he could to beat Drexel freshman Antonio Mininno 8-7. Elsewhere in Troy, Utah Valley’s Matt Findlay and Virginia’s Sam Krivus both beat Nebraska All-American Chad Red on the day. Another Husker, Isaiah White, had a rough day as well. The former Division II national champion fell to Ebed Jarrell of Drexel and Demetrius Romero of Utah Valley. No. 17 Purdue went 2-0, blasting Bloomsburg 35-5 and Drexel 25-14. No. 21 Wyoming beat Edinboro 33-6 and Virginia 21-9. I’m going to give Johnny Clark some time here. Sacred Heart is no stran

Short Time Shots - November 8, 2018
Two things are notable today - first off, because of the generosity and sheer awesomeness of the Patreon contributors to the Mat Talk Podcast Network, I’m talking into my brand new Shure SM7B. Yes, it’s the microphone you see on a lot of these podcasts, including Joe Rogan, but I’ve had my eye on it since ever since, to quote my friend Cliff Fretwell. The other important thing is a happy birthday to my mom Jeanette back in Poquoson, Virginia. When I started this Mat Talk Online enterprise while I was a freshman in college, I probably spent more time updating high school wrestling scores than I did going to class. I’m Jason Bryant and this is Short Time Shots, a look back at the night’s college wrestling scores and more. Wait. There is no PROBABLY in that statement. In my college years, while working at a newspaper, running a website, announcing tournaments on the weekends, there were two other choices, beer and books. It took me far too long to understand the importance that your GPA SHOULD be higher than your BAC. But we were all young and stupid once and my mom, she put up with it, supporting what was then a hobby and now it’s a sustainable career. Don’t think for a second I’m not aware of what that means. Speaking of my tenure in college, I guess there’s a third big thing. It’s been 5,201 days since I completed my last class, Communications Research Methods II at Old Dominion University. Today, I paid off the last bit of my student loans. 14 years and I’m no longer sitting with student loan dept. To my credit, there was a good chunk of that seven years I was in college that I paid my own way. But you’re not here to listen to me wax poetic about my glory days, especially since my next birthday is the big 4-0. As Gantry on TheMat Forum said earlier, today the only D1 game in town was Northern Illinois and North Dakota State. And if you’re a NIU fan, you could have done what Gantry did and check out after the first five weights. No. 22 North Dakota State stomped Northern Illinois 35-4 as the BiZon won nine out of 10 matches and closed things out with falls by Cordell Eaton and Brandon Metz. There was some notable news further west within the great state of North Dakota as the University of Mary, the MARAUDERS, had a packed house in Bismarck as they topped Minot State 31-12. Talk about an environment that Adam Aho is growing out there. Just check Twitter for UMary wrestling and you’ll see it yourself. Wild stuff. Even though both schools are part of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference, this was a non-conference matchup. Emmanuel, which is in its first year as a full member of Division II, knocked off Ouachita Baptist 25-22. Two forfeits and a fall at 165 were enough for the Lions to get past the Tigers, oh my! Dad jokes. A lot of inter-divisional matches on Thursday as Division II Ashland improved to 5-0 after dominating NAIA Lourdes 43-6. Returning Division II national champion Bret Romanzak got his championship ring and picked u

Wyoming head coach Mark Branch on his place in wrestling history and the culture in Laramie
With the college wrestling season here, we'll head to Laramie and talk with Wyoming head wrestling coach Mark Branch. As a competitor at Oklahoma State, Branch has the unique distinction of winning the NCAA Division I title as a freshman and coming into the tournament with a losing record. Branch talks about the legacy his family had in Stillwater, what role basketball had in that legacy, what it was like wrestling for John Smith early in his coaching career and some of the things that went along with his 1-2-2-1 placements at the NCAA Championships. We'll also dive into what make Wyoming the right choice for Branch 11 years ago when he applied for the head coaching job of wrestling's other Division I Cowboys.

Short Time Shots - November 3, 2018
I found bags for the leaves. YES! It took about two and a half hours to clear the yard, but at least I got it all done before the rains came. I would litter this episode with lyrics inspired by Annie Lennox, but that’d be painful for you, just like walking on broken glass. This is Short Time Shots, a mostly unfunny podcast that recaps the day’s happenings in college wrestling. I’m your host Jason Bryant, and I have many leatherbound books and I do this kind of stuff for a living. Seriously. At the Harold Nichols Cyclone Open, here are the notables out there, but there are no more I love yous. Wisconsin’s Tristan Moran topped Northern Iowa’s Josh Alber in the finals by picking up a second-period fall at 141 pounds. At 149 pounds, Missouri’s Brock Mauller, who probably has THE wrestling name of the year, picked up a 12-6 win in the finals over Iowa State’s Jarrett Degan. Mauller beat Wisconsin’s Cole Martin to reach the finals. At 165 pounds, Evan Wick of Wisconsin beat Northern Iowa’s Bryce Steiert 3-2 in the finals in a matchup of All-Americans. UNI did see All-American Drew Foster major Iowa State’s Sam Colbray 14-0 in the finals at 184. New Cyclone Willie Miklus was solid with two falls on his way to a 5-2 finals victory over NAIA national champion Evan Hansen of Grand View in the finals at 197. Clarion Open Not a whole lot going on up at Clarion in terms of star-power, but notable performances were, well, notable. Eastern Michigan transfer Armando Torres captured the crown for Cleveland State at 133 pounds, beating Bloomsburg’s Lewis Williams 3-2 in the final. At 184, Michael Beard, who’s not on a roster this season but is bound for Penn State, topped NCAA qualifier Greg Bulsak of Clarion 13-9 in the finals. What’s also interesting is after building a 13-2 lead midway through the second period, Beard got hit four times for stalling and gave up nearfall late. What’s also interesting is since Beard isn’t on a college roster, his wins and losses don’t count. Nuance of an NCAA rules regarding official records say you have to be enrolled for results to count, even in opens. So all those guys losing to Aaron Brooks don’t have to worry about their record either. Speaking of Aaron Brooks … Heavyweight was an interesting weight as Pittsburgh’s Demetrius Thomas topped Division III national champion Jake Evans 14-4 in the semifinals on his way to the championship. Thomas was an NAIA national champion at Williams Baptist as a freshman and was second last year before transferring to Pittsburgh. He had to beat Seth Nevills, an unrostered soon-to-be Nittany Lion 9-7 in the second round. Cowboy Open Wyoming had a bunch of guys win, no biggie there. Junior world silver medalist and Penn State bound Aaron Brooks won at 184 pounds. He’s spending this year at the OTC. While it’s impressive for a kid like Brooks to come in and win a college open, let’s not get too carried away about his competition. He’s a blue-chip, can’t miss recruit, so beating a pair

Short Time Shots - November 2, 2018
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

Short Time Shots - November 1, 2018
Oh, it’s about that time, it’s about that time, it’s ABOUT THAT TIME! The whistles of college wrestling season didn’t actually blow for the first time on Thursday night, they actually started in September with the California Community Colleges. But the four-year programs and the rest of the junior colleges got underway this week and this is your daily dose of the wrestling scores and more, that’s right, it’s Short Time Shots, the coffee you need for your morning wrestling commute, I’m your host Jason Bryant. Yes, I’m stunned I still have a voice after Budapest. The first Division I dual of the season saw the Chris Bono regime in Madison start with a victory. The 18th-ranked Wisconsin Badgers won four of the last five bouts to pull away from a scrappy Buffalo team 25-12. Connor Brown opened up the dual with a fall, Ben Askren-style, who was actually calling the action live on Flowrestling. Buffalo’s Bryan Lantry scored a solid win at 141-pounds over transfer Tristan Moran, while All-American Evan Wick started the Badger roll with a 14-1 major decision at 165 pounds. Ryan Christensen, Mason Reinhardt and Trent Hillger finished things off down the stretch for Chris Bono’s new squad. In another geographical indicator that college athletic conferences are still bonkers, West Virginia topped Northern Colorado 22-14 in the Big 12 Conference and season opener for both teams. Tim Flynn’s new team fell behind early, but four straight wins saw the Mountaineers rally for the win, thanks to victories by Matthew Schmitt at 133, Joe Wheeling - which is fitting he wrestles for West Virginia - at 141, Christian Monserrat at 149 and Zach Moore at 157. Moore’s locked up the dual win. And out in California, Manny Rivera and his CSU Bakersfield Roadrunners did some wacky stuff, doing a tri-meet on two mats with three rounds each as San Francisco State and Life Pacific went round-robin in a way that is well, interesting. Life Pacific is a brand-new NAIA program in Southern California while San Francisco State is led by second-year head coach and California native Jason Welch. The Gators have a pretty solid coaching staff too there with Ryan Loder, Dom Kastl and Orry Elor. Runners won big, by the way, topping San Francisco State 38-3 and Life Pacific 38-6. San Francisco State beat Life Pacific 39-6. Let’s go back to the whole “new era thing,” shall we? And we’re not talking Boston Red Sox World Series hats here either, Doug Schwab. The Brett Hamm era opened up in a big way as Cornell College trounced Simpson College 51-0 in a battle of two Iowa Division III programs. As you may know, Mike Duroe, the former Cornell College head coach, lost his battle with brain cancer earlier this year. Sixth-ranked Upper Iowa picked up five forfeits and beat undermanned Truman State 56-0. We’re going to give Truman State a bit of a pass here since coach David Schutter and the program raised enough money to keep the program afloat this year after the school announced it was goin

Wrestling brought Utah Valley's Erkin Tadzhimetov a new home
Erkin Tadzhimetov came to the U.S. as a competitor for the Junior World Championships back in 1998. He was in line to be the representative for Uzbekistan in upcoming senior level championships, but then things changed. Years later, he sits as the associate head coach at Utah Valley University and is on the coaching staff at the Junior World Championships for Team USA in Trnava, Slovakia. Tadzhimetov talks about his journey to the U.S., his battle for the right to compete for his home country, his process to get citizenship and what it was like to compete for the final time representing his new home.

Tax tips for wrestling folks with CPA Lyndsey Beasley
Keeping with the theme of financial health and well-being, we talk with Lyndsey Beasley, a certified public accountant and wife of George Mason head wrestling coach Frank Beasley. We follow along with last episode's financial planning with what wrestling people need to consider with taxes when it comes to coaching, starting a club or whatever side hustle that's being worked. Topics on this episode 1. Let's be honest, paying taxes sucks. What are some general tips before even getting started with filing if you're a wrestling coach? 2. What are some things you most often see left out of tax filings from people in and around wrestling? 3. Write-offs. This seems to be a very gray area. Everyone says "oh, business expense" or "oh, I can write that off." What is the truth about writing off meals and things you buy while traveling or simply during your every day. 4. I went through several scenarios with Northwestern Mutual's Jarrett Yehlen about the right saving situation when it comes to managing your money. I want to go through the same four scenarios and as a tax professional, what are some things that coaches and athletes must be aware of. A - Volunteer assistant coach, no official salary, works camps & clinics. Might be training to make senior-level team. (Taxes not taken out by club/organization paying his stipend) B - Paid assistant coach, doing the same as above, working camps and clinics, but on the books with the school, has taxes taken out. Makes side money as a clinician outside of the school's camp structure. May be training to make a senior-level team. C- The high school coach who gets a small stipend to coach, but is a full-time teacher. Thinking about or has an offseason club, runs summer camps and clinics, also travels to camps and clinics as a guest instructor or clinician. D- Independent Club. Your whole job is membership and training. You have your own space to train athletes, not affiliated with a school. You are your own business. -- OTHER CONSIDERATIONS 1. In what cases is it better to file quarterly or file in April? 2. Should someone spend the extra money and find a CPA or do they go it alone with TurboTax? 3. Any opinion on the tax companies like H&R Block, Liberty, Jackson Hewitt, etc. 4. How would you recommend finding an affordable CPA. - Considerations on how many states you are filing in (our example, we had to file in 3 states one year, I'll set that up beforehand) The Short Time Time Wrestling Podcast is proudly supported by Compound Clothing.

Financial planning in the wrestling world with Northwestern Mutual's Jarrett Yehlen
Jarrett Yehlen doesn't have much of a wrestling background, but he does have a background in college athletics. He also went to high school with me back in Virginia. On Episode 463 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Yehlen, a financial planner with Northwestern Mutual here in the Twin Cities, talks about some strategies that might help coaches of every level work on saving for retirement and what types of things they can set up. Why is this important? Coaching, especially at the college level, is transient in nature. There's also camps and clinics that generates income from summer work, etc. We go through several scenarios that will help guide people in the right direction and offer some ideas on how to help save for now and for later. And for our Poquoson friends back home, I'll mention George Mason coach Frank Beasley, who isn't to be confused with another friend from back in Poquoson, Frank Beazlie, who didn't wrestle.

#NWCAConv: Division I Wrestling Committee chair and CSUB Sr. Associate AD Karen Langston

Retired Drexel head coach Jack Childs on a life in wrestling - ST419
On this episode of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we go to lunch with former Drexel coach Jack Childs and talk about his life and career coaching wrestling and what life is like now as a retired wrestling coach. Before Childs led Drexel for over three decades, he was a multi-sport athlete who didn't actually wrestle in high school. How does someone with that background coach a Division I program for decades? With a respect and a presence like few in the sport, Childs has been one of the most likable coaches to ever grace the coaching fraternity. Hear some stories from the road, as well as his wife Anne chime in. GET THE GUIDE!

Short Time Shots - February 18, 2018
I love Virginia. The state, not the town that shares the name in the Iron Range of Minnesota. Ok, I've been to Virginia, Minnesota, but that's not important right now. Want to hear a rant? Well, you might not have a choice -- this is Short Time Shots, a look back at the day's scores and more from the world of wrestling for February 18, 2018., I'm your host, Poquoson, Virginia native and Hall of Fame writer, broadcaster and announcer Jason Bryant. I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you. This is the last of the regular season nightly updates and I'll actually be throwing in some of Saturday's stuff here from the NAIA, because my wife just spent a week in California on business and Saturday night, we spent catching up on The Amazing Race and Top Chef. And I will throw the rant at the end of the show. It's an entirely different type of flying, altogether. No. 1 Penn State finished the regular season at 14-0 and capped off a stellar season with seven falls in a 55-0 win over Buffalo. Several Buffalo starters took the dual off, after all, this one didn't mean much to anyone other than the seniors in the starting lineup and the fans wanting to see who was going to get the nod at 197 pounds. The "here, hold my beer" back-and-forth all year long between Mark Hall and Bo Nickal has been fun. Not saying these guys are slugging tallboys of PBR before going out on the mat and trying to pin people faster than the other, but Mark Hall went 56 seconds and NoBickal went 11 -- seconds. That'll teach'em that the red zone is for the immediate unloading and loading of passengers. The Nittany Lions will start next season building on its run of 45 straight dual meet victories. No. 2 Ohio State looked fairly sharp in winning eight of 10 over No. 6 NC State in front of nearly 4,000 fans at Reynolds Coliseum in Raleigh. Just one week ago, the Pack set an attendance record, only to shatter it. Too bad the team W didn't follow. Myles Martin beat Pete Renda in a matchup of highly-ranked All-American 184 pounders, but Michael Macchiavello did give the Pack fans something big to cheer about as the North Carolina native knocked off Ohio State's Kollin Moore with two late third-period takedowns. Ohio State's Joey McKenna topped Kevin Jack at 141 pounds, while Hayden Hidlay stayed unbeaten for the Pack, beating Micah Jordan 6-3. The Buckeyes finished the season 14-1, while the Wolfpack finished 15-2 and Friday's win over Virginia Tech did give them the ACC regular season title. No, the WHITE zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers, there is no parking in the red zone. No. 4 Michigan had little trouble with No. 20 Central Michigan. Although the Wolverines did see All-Americans Alec Pantaleo and Kevin Beazley drop matches. Head scratchers there. No. 5 Oklahoma State wrapped up its Big 12 season 8-0 after shutting out host Fresno State 41-0 in front of 4,328 fans, the second largest crowd of the season for the reinstated Bulldogs. No. 7 I

Looking at Army-Navy through the eyes of assistants Chris Chionuma and Nate Engel - ST416
Episode 416 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast previews the 2018 edition of Army-Navy wrestling. Joining the program to talk about the rivalry and their circuitous routes to each respective service academy will be Army West Point assistant coach Chris Chionuma and Navy assistant coach Nate Engel. The squads face off for the 62nd time at Alumni Hall on Friday, February 16 at 7:30 Eastern. Both Chionuma and Engel have routes in coaching that started in the NAIA and wound through various locations like Marquette, Michigan, Colorado Springs and Arkadelphia, Arkansas. It's a fun look into how some people end up as Division I assistant coaches and some of their unique stories that see paths crossing left and right. GET THE GUIDE!

ESPN broadcaster Mike Couzens ready for another call in Cleveland - ST415
When you turn on ESPN to watch the 2018 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships again this year, you'll hear the voice of Mike Couzens directing traffic and setting the stage. The 29-year-old ESPN broadcaster will be in Cleveland with another shot at calling college wrestling's most iconic event with fellow broadcasters Anthony Robles and Tim Johnson. On Episode 415 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we talk with the New York native and Syracuse alum on his career in broadcasting and how he's prepping for the NCAA championships as well as what he's done to prepare for a world of wrestling, one he wasn't familiar with before getting the assignment.

Short Time Shots - February 11, 2018
This is Short Time Shots, a look back at the day's college wrestling scores and more from February 11, 2018. I'm your host, Hall of Fame wrestling writer, broadcaster and announcer Jason Bryant … and I'm holding off on the jokes until later because Ohio University Austin Reese is sitting in an Ohio hospital right now after a gigantic scare. So Austin Reese is a redshirt junior on the Bobcats wrestling team. The 174-pounder from Urbana was leading Old Dominion's Seldon Wright 7-0 in the second period of Sunday's dual ESPN's stream cut away from the action -- and never returned. While there's been no official word other than "health complication" regarding what happened with Reese, a glimpse of the action before the expect restart showed Reese flat on the mat, facedown and being quickly tended to by Ohio athletic trainers. I'd assume EMT's quickly arrived as Reese had to be resuscitated on the mat. Anything other than that is hearsay and I want to respect the privacy of Reese and his family, but I also want to pass along our thoughts, well wishes, and if you're a person of faith, our prayers. According to Ohio head coach Joel Greenlee, Reese is currently hospitalized, but he's awake, talking and stable. This could have ended in a way no one wants to consider. Let's keep him and all of Ohio U in your thoughts this week and beyond. As for the match, the rest of the dual was canceled. Who won? Who cares. That's not important. Now to the wrestling … No. 2 Ohio State got back to its winning ways with an 18-15 win over No. 4 Michigan on Sunday. Wait, winning ways Two unbeaten Buckeyes are no longer unbeaten. The biggest win, no pun intended, came at 285 pounds where Michigan's Adam Coon stopped Ohio State's Kyle Snyder 3-1. The record-crowd of 8,303 loved it as Coon handed Snyder, a two-time NCAA heavyweight champion and of course, two-time World champion and 2016 Olympic champion, his first collegiate defeat since the NCAA finals in 2015. Wrestling Twitter nearly broke, while some people felt the need to puff out chests over a loss. This sets the stage beautifully for March, does it not? Coon's bearhug throw in the second period was the decisive score. Another Ohio State unbeaten fell as Michigan's Stevan Micic avenged an early-season loss to Luke Pletcher and after giving up the first takedown, Micic bulldozed Pletcher the rest of the bout and picked up the 11-5 decision. Myles Amine upended Bo Jordan with a late takedown at 174. This was just a fun dual all over the place. Myles Martin beat Domenic Abounader at 184. Just good stuff. Fifth-ranked Oklahoma State won the Bedlam matchup with Oklahoma for the 15th time in 16 tries. The Cowboys saw Dean Heil walk off the mat in Gallagher-Iba Arena for the final time with a 16-6 major decision win over Sooner Mike Longo. Nick Piccininni topped Oklahoma's Christian Moody 8-2 at 125 in the dual's only matchup of ranked opponents -- depending on the poll. Ok, we'll give you Chandler Rogers' 8-2 win over Dawaylo

Short Time Shots - February 10, 2018
Tonight, we'll take you to the Temple of Boom as I spent the time setting up this show listening to the mashup between Cypress Hill, Rage Against The Machine and Public Enemy -- they're the Prophets of Rage and it's just enough of a taste of all three groups to give you that angsty fight the man feeling from the late 90s. This is Short Time Shots, a look back at the day's scores and more for February 10, 2018, I'm your host, Hall of Fame wrestling writer, broadcaster and announcer Jason Bryant and I actually saw Rage perform live back in August of 1997. We can tell you that the women's team at Campbellsville will be going down Rodeo after capturing the school's first ever Women's Collegiate Wrestling Association national championship on Saturday at Oklahoma City University. Powered by champions Grace Bullen and Kayla Miracle, the Lady Tigers took things down to the wire to rip the championship away from Simon Fraser in the event's final match. The stage was set for some drama as the finals round started at 143 pounds and would end with 136, where Miracle would wait to see if she could make history. More on that in a bit. Simon Fraser earned titles at 143 with U.S. World Teamer Mallory Velte winning her third WCWA title with a dominant win over Junior World bronze medalist Alexis Porter of McKendree. Brittany Marshall would Fight the Power and give Wayland Baptist a title with a 6-5 victory at 170 over Campbellsville's Mariah Harris. Marshall scored two as time expired to cap an exciting bout. Simon Fraser would overtake Campbellsville with back-to-back titles at 116 and 123. At 116, Abby Lloyd capped her career winning her first WCWA title after finishing second the previous two years. At 123, Dominique Parrish topped unseeded teammate Alex Hedrick 5-4 to claim gold. With two weights left, Campbellsville and Simon Fraser would meet up at 130 with SFU holding a seven point lead. The lead would shrink to one as freshman Grace Bullen, a Norwegian import, laid down another bombtrack pinning Nicole Depa in 2:17 seconds. Miracle would then step to the mat, with her chance at four titles and the team title on the line. She gave up the first takedown to Grays Harbor's Desiree Zavala, but then used a leg turk to arch Zavala over for the fall. MIC. DROP. CHAMPIONSHIP. Lights out. Guerilla Radio. Miracle joins exclusive company, joining Oklahoma City's Emily Webster and Simon Fraser's Victoria Anthony and Helen Maroulis as four-time WCWA champs. Maroulis actually won her first title at Missouri Baptist. There were also a number of emotional moments, including Kaitlyn Hill finally earning All-American honors for the first time and then promptly getting hit with a marriage proposal. Get the tissues folks. It's one of those moments that you just can't put into words. Marina Doi's shot for a third individual championship came to an end, as her twin sister Regina would claim the title at 101 poun ds. But the California wonder twins also made this moment distinct

Short Time Shots - February 8, 2018
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

Campbellsville women's coach Lee Miracle built a No. 1 team from scratch - ST411

On Episode 411 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we visit with Campbellsville head wrestling coach Lee Miracle as his Lady Tigers are ranked No. 1 heading into the event. Miracle talks about his career as an athlete and a coach while balancing time in the U.S. Armed Forces. Miracle was tasked with building a brand new program at Campbellsville five years ago, one he helped build with his daughter Kayla, who will seek her fourth WCWA championship. We learn more about the WCWA's top-ranked program and give a quick look inside the upcoming WCWA championships. GET THE GUIDE!

Short Time Shots - February 6, 2018
We're into February and I missed Groundhog Day, so there's only one thing we can do about that. We're into February and I missed Groundhog Day, so there's only one thing we can do about that, you say our love won't pay the rent, well this is Short Time Shots, a look back at the day's college wrestling scores and more. I'm your host, Pittsburgh weather man Jason "Phil Connors" Bryant and I will drink Iron City Beer when we get to NCAA's next year. Just hold down the fort with a Primanti Brothers sandwich as well. Not a huge night in college wrestling, but since it's been a wild few weeks in college wrestling, there wasn't much you were going to get from me that you haven't already read about -- the other part of that is I spent most of the previous week down at the Mall of America doing a number of interviews around Super Bowl 52. While I didn't get a game credential -- and to be honest -- I didn't apply for one, I did get credentials for three days on Media Week. You've seen some of these interviews on Trackwrestling with Andy Hamilton and a few other episodes of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast here on the Mat Talk Podcast Network. Of note, BOTH the Philadelphia Eagles and New England Patriots correctly predicted Penn State to beat Ohio State on Saturday. I had the Buckeyes winning 20-19 on a 5-5 split. No one outside of State College or the 814 or the 717. I only say 717 because I lived there. So here's what we've got on a Tuesday. Oh, by the way, Rick Lovato, Old Dominion. First football player from ODU to play in the Super Bowl. He's got a ring. He also wrestled in high school in New Jersey. The U.S. Naval Academy earned its first shut out in 12 years after beating regional rival George Mason 43-0 on Tuesday. Zack Davis earned his 100th career victory with a 92 second fall at 157 pounds over Bryce Reddington. The Midshipmen improved to 8-2 while the Patriots, and not the Tom Brady ones, fell to 3-11. 311 has grassroots for your momma. Those of you who listened to music in the 90s will catch that reference. Elsewhere, we move to Division II, No. 11 Pitt-Johnstown picked up a 39-9 win over Shippensburg and in the process, secured FIVE falls in the dual. The Mountain Cats will face Mercyhurst on Friday for the PSAC regular season title. Best individual win saw No. 3 Evan Ramos topping No. 7 Levi Niebauer 3-2. Down south, UNC Pembroke beat Coker 33-12, Limestone topped King 36-9 - both of those duals in the ECAC Division II Wrestling Conference, which will actually morph into the Conference Carolinas next season. The South Atlantic Conference and the Conference Carolinas came together last week forming conferences for wrestling and field hockey. Drury picked up a 30-13 win over Central Missouri. In Division III, Baldwin Wallace improved to 18-2 and 5-0 in the Ohio Athletic Conference with a 32-13 win over Heidelberg. Say it with me - STUDENT PRINCES of Heidelberg. Jamie Gibbs, head coach of Baldwin Wallace was a previous guest on The Ice Hour, wh

Ryan Rooney and Craig Frost on the tradition behind 1,000 wins at Roselle Park High School in New Jersey - ST409
Wrestling is a sport where milestones are celebrated. One of the most basic is when an athlete reaches 100 wins or 100 falls or a school breaks a record for dual meets won in a season. Then there are milestones that only a select few achieve. Now on the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we talk with coaches Ryan Rooney and Craig Frost from Roselle Park High School in New Jersey to talk about that program's mega-milestone -- 1,000 wins. Roselle Park, New Jersey is steeped in wrestling tradition. We'll explain how and why and how the wrestling bloodline runs through the town -- from the patrons at Frenchy's Bar & Grill to the mayor of Roselle Park. GET THE GUIDE!

#SB52: Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Elijah Qualls -ST405
Former California state qualifier Elijah Qualls surprised us with his wrestling background on Episode 405 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast from the Philadelphia Eagles breakout sessions on Wednesday of Media Week. Like most of the other linemen, Qualls talks about how wrestling helped him understand leverage and balance and even gives an insight on why he almost opted to wrestle in college before ultimately choosing the University of Washington to play football. He did also show some interest in watching Penn State and Ohio State on Saturday. GET THE GUIDE!

Short Time Shots - January 27, 2018
On Friday night, I was set to plop down here in the office and fire out another fine episode of Short Time Shots. By the way, that's the show you're listening to and it's a look back at the day's scores and more in college wrestling. I'd also be your host, Hall of Fame wrestling writer, broadcaster and announcer Jason Bryant. But once my wife and I finished having some quiet time watching the most recent episode of Top Chef, I went to the Mat Talk Online headquarters and realized there were like a lot of duals last night. By the time I finished logging them into the nation's most robust college wrestling scoreboard, which you can find at almanac.mattalkonline.com, it was nearly 2 a.m. and I had to be up early Saturday to make chocolate chip pancakes for the girls. Sometimes, I just don't have the time to push out a daily scores episode. Today is different, because there were 104 dual meets that I could track on Saturday - there's a few JUCOs that won't report their results until March, but that's not important right now. It's Saturday, January 27 and here's what we had to roll with. We had two stellar top 10 duals, one in the Big Ten and another between former Big 12 rivals. Where to begin? Let's go with the place that had the bigger crowd and that would almost always be Iowa. No. 7 Michigan beat No. 4 Iowa 21-17 in front of over 10,000 fans in Carver-Hawkeye Arena. Michigan wasn't as explosive as it was a week prior when the Wolverines trounced Minnesota. In fact, it seemed like they left a lot of potential bonus points on the table. Credit Iowa for wrestling very tough and nearly pulling out the win in a dual where they were without the services of All-American Michael Kemerer. Alex Marinelli stayed unbeaten, topping Logan Massa 3-2 at 165 pounds, but Michigan would sweep the last four weights with the biggest win coming at 197 pounds where Kevin Beazley topped Cash Wilcke 6-5. The win set up the dual-winning triumph by heavyweight Adam Coon, who beat Sam Stoll 3-2. In Stillwater, things were a bit wild and crazy, like the Wild and Crazy Kids. Anyone remember that? Chances are, if you're below the age of 32, you don't. Nickelodeon was so awesome back in the day -- You Can't Do That On Television, Double Dare, Turkey TV. Oh, speaking of things you're not supposed to do - Jaydin Eierman of Missouri decided to complicate things even more by pinning two-time national champion Dean Heil at 141 pounds in Missouri's 21-19 win over No. 5 Oklahoma State. Combine that with Willie Miklus' modest upset over Preston Weigel at 197 pounds and Brian Smith has his Tigers 16-0 and a clear No. 3 in the Coaches Poll. What's going to make things interesting in the voting this week is the fact Iowa was without Kemerer, but hey, big boy sports right - you play without your starting quarterback, you lose, you drop in the rankings. Rank it like a team sport, when you're looking at dual rankings. No. 10 Virginia Tech got quite a fight from Duke, but a fall by Zack Zavat

Short Time Shots - January 25, 2018
So I'm a craft beer guy. I wasn't always a craft beer guy. It took me to move to Pennsyvlania at age 25 to realize that there were good beers out there that weren't named Natural, Beast or Bud. But I also have a very diverse palate when it comes to the types of beers I drink. In my older age, I've learned to drink for flavor not to drink to figure out how many beers we can get for $20 at the local Farm Fresh or Food Lion -- yes, in Virginia, you could buy cheap swill at the grocery store. Thankfully by the time I was actually 21, Yuengling Lager had made its way down to Virginia. You know what the difference between a pint of Lager in Pennsylvania and a pint of Lager in Virginia is? About four bucks. Anyway, you're not here to hear me talk about my beer fridge - or maybe you are - but this is Short Time Shots, a look back at the day's scores and more in the world of college wrestling from January 25, 2018, I'm your media guide slinging, craft beer enjoying Hall of Fame wrestling announcer, writer and broadcaster Jason Bryant. But before I get to the scores, I want to call out my buddies over at the Bloodround Podcast, which is pretty much the antithesis of anything you'll find on the Mat Talk Podcast Network. They're close to Bell's Brewing out there in Michigan. I picked up a six pack today of a limited seasonal they put out called Hopslam. I'm not by any means an IPA guy. I typically don't like drinking a pine cone. But I also like rarities, so I'll give it a shot. The promotional video says … you know what. I'm just going to let you hear it in their own words … I'm very afraid. Now, FINALLY to wrestling, there were two Division I duals and both were in the Southern Conference. Appalachian State remained unbeaten in the SoCon with an 18-12 win over Campbell in a match that was rescheduled from some snow that hit the Southeast a week or so ago. Key victories there for the Mountaineers were by 174-pounder Forrest Przybysz who beat Andrew Morgan 13-11 and Codi Russell, who beat Nathan Boston in sudden victory at 133 pounds. Gavin Londoff's win at 149 over Zach Barnes was the match-clincher for JohnMark Bentley's squad. VMI, which has been struggling quite a bit in recent memory, picked up its first win over The Citadel in 11 years. The Keydets picked up falls from Blake Hohman and Gage Levine to help push past the Bulldogs 24-21 in a battle of bonus points. Hohman and 133-pound winner Hunter Starner are from my home district, so shout out to Mike Faus' New Kent Trojans and Doug Roper's Tabb Tigers -- they helped a D1 team get a W tonight. In Division II, St. Cloud State improved to 15-0 and extended its win streak to 24 in a row with a 42-3 win over Northern State. The jaw-dropper was at 157 where Tanner Olson, who was just 2-3 on the season coming in, beat No. 1-ranked Larry Bomstad of St. Cloud State 3-1. To try to put that in perspective -- it's like a guy from say, Cleveland State beating Bryce Meredith or something like that. No, Bomstad isn'

Arizona State coach Zeke Jones has his Sun Devils on a roll - ST399
Now in his third year at the helm in Tempe, Arizona State head wrestling coach Zeke Jones is starting to see the fruits of his recruiting labor mature. Ranked No. 8 in the most recent USA Today/NWCA Division I Coaches Poll, the Sun Devils have won nine straight duals. On Episode 399 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Coach Jones talks about the development of the program, honoring the 1988 NCAA championship team, dealing with lineup questions and starting lineups. Coach Jones will also offer his opinion on Final X, how women have been working their way into administrative roles within wrestling programs themselves, including their own Director of Operations Maddie Schossow. He won't talk about his real name being Larry, but there's a lot of information here on when the Sun Devils can expect to compete for trophies at the NCAA championships.

Short Time Shots - January 21, 2018
There was one thing my wife asked me NOT to do on this episode of Short Time Shots -- and that's talk about the Minnesota Vikings. It's pretty hard when the three most important women in our life, my wife and my two young daughters Lucy and Ruby are decked out in purple and you see what happens when your five-year-old realizes what losing is, as she's wrapped up in a Vikings blanket my mom made her. Sadly, the Vikings faithful are used to heartbreak. This is one reason I'm trying to at least salvage Ruby, the youngest to be a Bucs fan. You see, I grew up a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan. I still am a diehard, although most years since 2002, I can check out around week 10, knowing the playoffs are a pipe dream. When you're a Bucs fan, there are no expectations. The Super Bowl in 2002 is an outlier, a one-off. I can die a happy man knowing what was once the worst franchise in pro sports actually has a championship. Eat that, Browns fans. This isn't a show about football, It's Short Time Shots, a look back at the day's notable college wrestling scores and more. I'm your host Hall of Fame wrestling writer, broadcaster and announcer Jason Bryant and we've got some things to talk about today. Did you know there were 63 dual meets on Sunday? 63? Yeah. All of their results available at mattalkonline.com's college wrestling scoreboard. It's the link at the top right of the page that says "SCOREBOARD!" Or just go to almanac.mattalkonline.com to check it out. The most comprehensive scoreboard in the nation is hosted here. First off, the biggest dual of the day took place in Columbus, Ohio where second-ranked Ohio State topped fourth-ranked Iowa 22-12 in front of 15,117 fans at Value City Arena. The crowd rates 14th all-time in Division I dual meet attendance and it was the final "home" dual for Nathan Tomasello, Bo Jordan and Kyle Snyder. Two of the three didn't disappoint, that is if you're a Buckeye fan. Iowa true freshman Spencer Lee's proficient top work was enough to get him past Tomasello 3-2 at 125 pounds. Lee's two escapes and a riding time point were enough to overcome Tomasello's third-period takedown. Brandon Sorensen beat Ke-Shawn Hayes at 149, Iowa's Michael Kemerer beat Micah Jordan at 157, Alex Marinelli returned home to Ohio to beat TeShan Campbell at 165, but then it was all Buckeyes. Bo Jordan, Myles Martin, Kollin Moore and Kyle Snyder swept the last four weights to keep Ohio State unbeaten. Questions circling about why Iowa, which needed a fall to win the dual, didn't sent out Sam Stoll at 285 and sent Steven Holloway out instead to take on the World and Olympic Champion. You guys can discuss that all you want. If you're a Hawkeye fan, you think one way. Most everyone else thinks another. It is what it is. I wanted to see where Sam Stoll was at. I guess we'll have to wait until the grind of the Big Ten tournament to find out. In ranking order, top-ranked Penn State had little trouble staying unbeaten with a 47-3 plundering of Maryland.

Short Time Shots - January 20, 2018
So apparently Tom Arnold can rest easy now that I'm issuing a CORRECTION on my statement from the January 19 edition of Short Time Shots. As Dan Ransick pointed out, Tom Arnold was NOT in Little Giants, rather it was Ed O'Neill who went opposite of Rick Moranis in the football flick. Where did I get my streams crossed? Tom Arnold, who allegedly roomed with Takedown Radio's Scott Casber at some point in their college careers, was in BIG BULLY with Moranis. That one's on me. What did I say about not quoting a movie if you haven't seen it? Well, if you've only seem most of two different movies and you think they're the same, best stay away from those references too, unless you find a flick where I can yell STUDENT PRINCES out loud. That's Heidelberg, by the way. And if you're wondering what this is, this is Short Time Shots, a look back at the day's college wrestling scores and more from January 20, 2018, I'm Hall of Fame wrestling writer, announcer and broadcaster Jason Bryant. I'm also not a Vikings fan, but it sure would be cool if they got to play at home during "THE BIG GAME." Today also makes me feel old as my baby sister Kitty turned 32 today. Yikes. I also threw a vice grip wrench through a wall today. I'll explain. Ninth-ranked Arizona State won its ninth dual in a row with a 27-15 win over Pac-12 rival Oregon State. The Sun Devils honored the 1988 NCAA Division I championship team led by Bobby Douglas -- which still to this day is the only Western team to have won an NCAA Division I wrestling championship. Arizona State's Ryan Millhof scored two and two late to rally past Ronnie Bresser at 125 pounds, but Oregon State did get one notable "upset" if you can call it that. Amar Dhesi topped Arizona State's rental-car eligible Tanner Hall 9-5 at heavyweight in a battle of returning All-Americans. Dhesi's been slow coming off his return to the lineup, but this is a solid win over Hall. Zahid Valencia went beast mode again registering a fall in 1:37 at 174 pounds. Z Money now has six falls, six techs and six majors on the year. Only four of his matches this season haven't ended in bonus, not counting the unofficial All-Star Classic win over Mark Hall. No. 22 Wyoming finished its trip through the Dakotas with a 32-6 win in Fargo over North Dakota State. Highlight there was at 133 pounds where Wyoming's Montorie Bridges ate up Cam Sykora 14-4, scoring six takedowns in the match. No. 23 Lock Haven beat George Mason 40-6 in the EWL. Harvard beat Franklin & Marshall 30-6. Little tidbit that most of you didn't know - Harvard head coach Jay Weiss is an F&M alum. He prefers Hildy's over Brendees, but I like the Irish hole more so than the other one. Plus, Hildy's only serves hot dogs. Austin DeSanto returned to the Drexel lineup to power the Dragons past Army West Point 20-12 in EIWA action. DeSanto put up 24 points in a major decision victory over Lane Peters at 133 pounds. Good win by Drexel's Stephen Loiseau over Rocco Caywood at 197. Utah Valley imp

Short Time Shots - January 19, 2018
It's Friday, you ain't got … well, this show is pretty much safe for work, so while I could throw lines from the movie Friday at you for hours on end, we'll just stick to the scores and more from a great night of wrestling. That's right folks, you can only quote Friday if you've seen it, and I seen it! I even have it on VHS. What's that got to do with wrestling? Nothing, but here's your rundown from January 19, 2018 -- I'm Hall of Fame wrestling writer, broadcaster and announcer Jason Bryant -- and this is how you start off your Saturday morning. Top-ranked Penn State blitzed No. 24 Purdue in front of another sellout Rec Hall crowd on Friday. Purdue got up early after Penn State had a rare forfeit at 125 pounds. PSU sports info reported that both eligible 125-pounders were sick and weren't in any shape to compete. That'd be the only W Purdue would get. The murderer's row of five NCAA champions swept 149 through 184 with three falls, a technical fall and a major. It might not be a stretch to say this might be the best 1-2-3-4-5 punch in the history of college wrestling -- and I don't subscribe to hyperbole. We all know this -- they're so freaking fun to watch. Missouri improved to 15-0 overall and 6-0 in the MAC with a 29-6 win over No. 17 Central Michigan. The win clinched the regular season title in the MAC for the Tigers, who won eight out of 10 including an upset win by Canten Marriott over Jordan Ellingwood at 184. Grant Leeth upended All-American Justin Oliver 3-1 at 149 pounds -- quite the recovery from a guy who many thought might not wrestle again after continued injuries. Couple matches of note in fifth-ranked Oklahoma State's 29-6 Big 12 win over West Virginia -- Nick Piccininni topped Zeke Moisey 4-0 at 125 pounds while 197-pound All-American Preston Weigel beat the ageless Jake Smith 5-2 at 197 pounds. Jake Smith … been wrestling at West Virginia since Millard Fillmore was President. Sixth-ranked NC State opened up ACC competition beating host Duke 32-6. Best result there was at 157 pounds where Hayden Hidlay topped Mitch Finesilver 10-5. Overall, Duke's tandem twins combined to go 2-2. Yes, there are four Finesilvers in the lineup and they are two different sets of twins -- and yes, they're brothers. The People's Champ Jacob Kasper beat Malik McDonald at heavyweight 8-6 for one of Duke's two wins. No. 8 Michigan topped Wisconsin 29-10, but that one had a couple of head-scratchers -- the biggest at 157 where Andrew Crone of Wisconsin knocked off All-American Alec Pantaleo 3-0. This was coming off Malik Amine's big fall over Cole Martin at 149. Hunter Ritter picked off All-American Kevin Beazely 3-2 at 197 pounds. No Logan Massa, but we did see Evan Wick tech Justin Hughes at 165. Adam Coon spent 41 seconds on the mat. No. 12 Cornell took advantage of two missing Lehigh starters and picked off the No. 7 Mountain Hawks 23-14. Individually, Cornell was powered by Yianni Diakomihalis, who earned an 8-0 major decision over Luke Karam at 1

Short Time Shots - January 18, 2018
There’s been a lot of talk about shifting weights this week and of course, on Thursday night, the action in Brookings, South Dakota did not disappoint as No. 15 South Dakota State beat No. 22 Wyoming 20-18 in Big 12 action. Wait, the dual meet? What are you talking about? We’ll talk about all that and more on Short Time Shots, a look back at the day’s wrestling scores and more, I’m Hall of Fame broadcaster, announcer and writer Jason Bryant. Caution - NAME DROPPING AHEAD. So by now most of you know Wyoming’s Bryce Meredith, the top-ranked 141-pounder by Flowrestling met up with South Dakota State’s Seth Gross, the top-ranked 133-pounder by everyone. What started as some Twitter talk quickly escalated into a match that caused wrestling historians, including myself, to pore through old results to find out the last time this happened. So before we get into the history, Meredith, an NCAA runner-up two seasons ago, topped Gross, an NCAA runner-up last season 4-2, scoring midway through the third period to break a 1-1 tie. He tacked on a riding time point to make it 4-2, but when you look at what this was, it was much more than a 4-2 win. Giving promotional credit where credit is due -- Flowrestling, which has the rights to stream all of South Dakota State’s home duals -- jumped all over this and rightly so. On Flowrestling Radio Live on Thursday morning, they brought on Jackrabbits coach Chris Bono to explain the situation and why he bought in. Bono, who also had the buy in from Wyoming coach Mark Branch, and Flo, played this one perfectly. It’s like catching lightning in a bottle -- build up, the right amount of hype and a great match to finish. We need more opportunities to showcase the individual matchups we have in dual meets like this. The only thing lost at the end of the dual was who won, considering Wyoming still had a chance to win the match in the last weight. So, December 18, 1998 - Eric Guerrero handed Stephen Abas a 5-3 loss. What exactly was the situation there? Let me run to the stacks and tell you, from the pages of Amateur Wrestling News. Abas was ranked 2nd in the country behind Oklahoma State Cowboy Teague Moore. So what we could have had was No. 1 vs. No. 2 at 125, but instead, we had No. 1 at 133 vs. No. 2 at 125. But would we? NO! You see, Teague wasn’t in the lineup that weekend for Oklahoma State and it would be future All-American Jeff Ragan getting the call. So does Stephen Abas go to work on a then-unheralded underclassmen or does he bump up and face another Californian. It went 5-3 in Guerrero’s favor. Shifting our attention to Division II No. 10 Upper Iowa improved to 6-3 with a 30-7 win over MSU Moorhead, that in the Northern Sun Conference. At 174, Jordan Gundrum picked off eighth-ranked Adam Blees to highlight the Peacocks victory. Wins by Isaac Lopez, Richard Bencomo and Tuli Laulu sealed the victory for coach Jason Ramstetter’s Adams State Grizzlies as they beat New Mexico Highlands 25-16. Closer to home, Aug

Short Time Shots - January 16, 2018
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

Short Time Shots - January 5, 2018
So it’s been a few weeks since we downed a few shots, and no, I’m not talking about your double imperial homebrewed egg nog. I love craft beer, especially the stuff made up here by Minnesota’s finest, but come on -- no one needs a Russian Imperial triple-hopped barrel aged collaborative fest bier, unless that beer is FREE! I’m Jason Bryant, and this is Short Time Shots, a look back at the days happenings in college wrestling. To me, the most important thing going on was the NWCA Multi-Divisional National Duals. The event featured 86 teams from five college divisions, over 50 ranked teams and an astounding 345 nationally ranked wrestlers. Basically, there’s currently 76 teams in Division I wrestling -- there were more teams in this event than there were in the nation’s most popular division. Why? Because these ranked Division I duals won’t take that long to power through. By the way, Happy New Year. No. 2 Ohio State squashed Maryland 44-3, but that’s not surprising. Nathan Tomasello made his much-anticipated season debut at 125 pounds and he didn’t spend that much time on the mat, registering a technical fall against Maryland’s Brandon Cray. Third-ranked Oklahoma State scored bonus victories from heavyweight Derek White and 133-pounder Kaid Brock to get past fifth-ranked NC State 19-16 in the Tussle for the Troops, the first ever NCAA college dual meet to take place outside of North America. Why do I have to specify North America? Simon Fraser is an NCAA Division II school and they’re in Canada, so it wouldn’t be the first NCAA dual outside of the U.S. and it wouldn’t be the first Division I dual either, considering D1 teams have wrestled at Simon Fraser in the past. Oh, yeah -- Kevin Jack beat Dean Heil with a late takedown in the third period. After winning over 50 in a row, Mean Dean has lost two straight. 141 is bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S. Shout out to you Hanna Grisewood. Seventh-ranked Iowa laid the wood to Michigan State, picking up six falls and coming away with a 49-6 victory. STOP BURYING THE LEDE! Spencer Lee made his Carver-Hawkeye debut and promptly decked another talented freshman, RayVon Foley in 46 seconds. Not to be confused with the 46 MINUTES I had to wait today for my Freaky NOT FAST Jimmy Johns lunch delivery. Anyway -- anyone remember that story about the Iowa college student that tried to bribe a police officer to get out of a ticket with some Jimmy John’s? I’d have taken it. Michigan shut out Indiana 43-0. Things went about how you might expect there. South Dakota State, which sits at No. 15, the highest ranking in school history, beat Oregon State 30-15. Seth Gross, ANOTHER fall at 133 pounds. Seriously, if it weren’t for guys named Nolf and Retherford, Gross would be getting a lot more chatter. General funkiness down in Chapel Hill as Wyoming went 4-0, beating No. 19 North Carolina, American, Duke and Army West Point. North Carolina has proven to be a nightmare when coordinating the Division I coaches poll. This is the same t

Short Time Shots - December 16, 2017
On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me, Saturday night’s scores and more here on Short Time Shots, I’m your host Hall of Fame wrestling writer, broadcaster and announcer Jason Bryant and baby, it’s cold outside. Anyone ever actually listen to the lyrics of that song? This day and age, conduct like that would get you fired and tarred and feathered on social media. What the heck is that guy’s problem? Anyway … cliché warnings are walking around this winter wonderland tonight. It was hardly a silent night in college wrestling as one of the nation’s best tournaments, the Midwest Classic, completed its first day of action. I’ve always said there’s more to college wrestling than just the Division I teams and the Midwest Classic is a stellar event. Some might put it as say the Midlands or Southern Scuffle of Division II, despite there’s more than just Division II teams competing. Anyway, we’ll ring-a-ling, hear them ring right into the semifinals as UW-Parkside leads the field after the first day of competition with 68 points, followed by Findlay with 59.5, McKendree with 57.5 and Ashland with 57. Central Oklahoma isn’t far behind with 54. What’s astounding about this is there are 22 different schools represented in the semifinals out of the 30 teams in the field. Parkside and Findlay each have five, while Ashland has four. Central Oklahoma and Maryville have three each. You might remember Maleek Williams of Upper Iowa. Two years ago, he had a stroke ... and then later qualified for the NCAA Division II championships. Yes, the same season. Crazy. Anyway, he's into the semifinals for Upper Iowa where he'll face Sebastian Vidika of Ashland. Upsets disrupted things down low as ninth-ranked Carlos Jacquez will face freshman Joe Arroyo of Parkside in the bottom bracket semi. At 133, top-ranked Dustin Kirk of King moved into the semis where he'll face Darius Bunch of West Liberty. Ninth-ranked Arik Furseth of Parkside will face Mary's Tate Barnhardt in the semis. Barnhardt knocked off seventh-ranked Naquan Hardy of McKendree 8-7 in the quarterfinals. A pair of ranked wrestlers meet in the top bracket at 141. Darren Wynn of McKendree, ranked No. 1 in Division II will face Maryville's Will Roark, whom some of you may remember from Fargo. Roark is ranked No. 9 in Division II. Down low, Robert Mason of Ashland faces third-ranked Brandon Ball of Fort Hays State in the semifinals. Parkside's Frank Yattoni knocked off second-ranked and top-seed Rudy Guillen of Mary in the quarterfinals 2-0 at 149 pounds Down low, Will Steltzen picked off fifth-ranked Logan Grass of Mercyhurst in the quarters. Steltzen will face second-seeded but top-ranked James Krischke of Maryville in the semifinals. Wild weight class there. Shakeups were also around at 157 where Ryne Cokely, yes, THAT Ryne Cokely of Fort Hays State pinned third-ranked Ryan Strope of McKendree in the second round, but then fell to Parkside's 12th-ranked Pernevlon Sheppard in the quarterfinals. Shep

Short Time Shots - December 15, 2017
It’s truly a sight to behold, that’s right, it’s time to ski the K12, dude with Short Time Shots, a look back at the day’s college scores and more with me, Hall of Fame wrestling writer, broadcaster and announcer Jason Bryant. No, I didn’t learn English by watching the Wide World of Sports. At the Bob Carpenter Center in Newark, Delaware, second-ranked Ohio State trounced Princeton 39-0 on the eve of the Beast of the East. Key match there was at 149 pounds where Ke-Shawn Hayes knocked off All-American Matthew Kolodzik of Princeton 2-0 at 149 on the strength of an escape and riding time. The Buckeyes had six bonus point victories. Prior to the bout, we had a women’s freestyle dual where Campbellsville topped the University of the Cumberlands 35-11. Why? Well, following Presbyterian’s lead, the folks in Delaware are showing their local administrators men’s and women’s wrestling. Could we see the Fightin’ Blue Hens with wrestling once again? Whatever it is, they have no idea what the street value of this mountain is. Out in Lincoln, sixth-ranked NC State won basically every toss up and came into the Devanney Center and spanked No. 12 Nebraska 29-3. It started with Hayden Hidlay’s 6-3 win over Tyler Berger at 157 pounds and continued on with close but solid wins from Daniel Bullard at 174, Pete Renda at 184, Tommy Cox at 125 and Beau Donahue ripping victory away from Collin Purinton 11-10 at 149. Donahue trailed 7-1 at one point. He scored three third-period takedowns to basically sum up how the day went for both teams. Donahue also said he didn’t like all the extra fat from fried bacon, so he boiled it. Out west, Northwestern has quietly improved to 6-0 after wins against Cal Poly and CSU Bakersfield. Against the Runners, the Wildcats won seven out of 10 bouts including bonus victories from Sebastian Rivera, Ryan Deakin, Johnny Sebastian, Mitch Sliga and Conan Jennings. By the way, I know two Conan’s who wrestled -- they were both heavyweights. I guess their parents knew something waaaay ahead of time. It’s got raisins in it, you like raisins. The Wildcats beat Cal Poly 30-8 in the nightcap. Would you mind if I asked out Beth? Utah Valley picked up a Big 12 win over North Dakota State, stopping the Bison 26-13 in Orem. Notable wins registered from the Wolverines Demetrius Romero at 165, Dustin Dennison and heavyweight and Taylor Lamont at 125 pounds. Romero, a transfer from Boise State after that school ducked and covered after dropping wrestling last season, topped nationally ranked Andrew Fogarty 5-3 in sudden victory. Both teams were receiving votes in this past week’s NWCA Division I Coaches Poll and both teams WANT THEIR TWO DOLLARS! Chris Lyons and Tyler Ortmann’s victories at 197 and 285 gave Cornell College a 23-15 come-from-behind win over Augustana -- the one in Illinois -- on Friday. The win is the Rams’ first since head coach Mike Duroe was revealed to be fighting brain cancer. Check out his gofundme page. We’re with you coach Duroe. Na

Everything you ever wanted to know about Presbyterian wrestling with AD Danny Sterling - ST384
Presbyterian College in Clinton, South Carolina announced it was adding men's and women's wrestling on December 7. In doing so, the school became the first Division I school to start a women's wrestling program while becoming the latest Division I team to add the sport. Presbyterian last fielded a collegiate wrestling team in 1951. On this edition of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we find out what went into the decision, who was involved and why women's wrestling was an important facet of bringing another Division I opportunity to the South with Presbyterian Athletic Director Danny Sterling. We also dive into Sterling's background and find out how a guy from Pound, Virginia ends up a Division I AD.

Short Time Shots - December 9, 2017
Busy day in the small colleges on the dual meet side of things, I’m in New York, so after checking out the Kentucky-Monmouth game, I saw some boxing, the Rangers and the Devils and a bunch of drunken Santas stumbling through Manhattan. Seriously. I saw college hoops, the NHL and pro boxing all in the same day in the same venue. The Ukrainian boxer made the Cuban quit. Craziness. Before I start, Brian Williams, and probably not the former newsman, corrected me on my Gannon reference the other day. I mistakenly said Gannon was from Metroid, well, that’s all jacked up. My childhood memories are crap. Gannon was from Zelda. And since I never played Zelda and was confusing it from the Nintendo commercial so many years ago, I call shenanigans. Anyway, the evil boss in Metroid was Mother Brain. Coach Paul Keysaw and Fresno City College won the school’s 15th state championship as the Rams claimed four titles to outdistance second-place Mt. San Antonio 184-152. Brandon Betencourt, Isaiah Perez, Aaron Mora and Dylan Martinez won titles at 125 through 149 while five other Rams placed in the top eight to claim Fresno City’s second straight championship. Lock Haven won the PSAC Championships for the 20th time, but it was the first time in 17 years since they’d done it. The Bald Eagles were led by champions Ronnie Perry at 149, Chance Marsteller at 165, Corey Hazel at 184 and Thomas Haines at heavyweight. Lock Haven scored 156 points, followed by Clarion in second with 122 and Edinboro in third with 120.5. Pitt-Johnstown was fourth, the top non-Division I finish of the 12-team field. Only thing really notable out of the UNI Open was Iowa’s Spencer Lee entered and dominated. Results on Trackwrestling.com, video on Flo. Campbellsville won its third straight NAIA Women’s Invitational and crowned six champions. While not entirely comprised of every NAIA school with a women’s team, it’s a fledgling event that could be the precursor to an officially sponsored NAIA national championship event. No. 19 Wisconsin cruised past Division III UW-Whitewater 38-3. Nothing really to go into, it’s what big brother does to little brother. Wyoming reeled off four wins in the last five weights to get past Iowa State 24-14 to open up Big 12 action. Wins by Branson Ashworth, Kyle Pope, Chaz Polson and Cody Vigoren gave Wyoming the leg up, if that is such a rodeo reference. If not, my apologies to fellow announcer and rodeo legend Boyd Polhamus. Of note, Iowa State’s Jakob Allison, a guy the Cyclones pulled off the club team in Ames, earned a fall at 125 pounds. Pretty cool story there. In Division II, No. 23 Mary and coach Adam Aho picked up one of the program’s biggest wins since it moved to NCAA Division II with a 21-19 win over ninth-ranked Upper Iowa. Wins down the stretch by Phillip Springsteen and Austin Eichmann were clutch for the Marauders. Springsteen’s fall at 165 was crucial. Eichmann’s major at 174 put the dual out of reach. In Division III, fourth-ranked Johnson & Wale

Short Time Shots - December 8, 2017
Friday night and I’ve gotta catch a flight to New York in a few hours. By the time you hear this, I’ll be snoozing away hoping a drink cart doesn’t slam into my knee or elbow. I’m Hall of Fame wrestling writer, broadcaster and announcer Jason Bryant, and this is Short Time Shots, a look back at the day’s scores and more from the world of wrestling. Before we get into the dual meet action, there’s a pretty good little tournament going on in California, the California Community College state championships. Fresno City leads after the first day of competition with eight wrestlers reaching the semifinals and leading second-place Mt. San Antonio College 98.5 to 80.5. Cerritos is a distant third with 54.5. All those results are at trackwrestling.com and check out John Sachs’ tech-fall.com for photos from the event. Count the tattoos, you’ll be there a while. Rutgers fans showed up in force, setting a school-record for attendance with 6,754 fans at the RAC, but key wins by Alex Marinelli at 165 and Joey Gunther at 174 lifted seventh-ranked Iowa to a 23-15 win over upset-minded Rutgers on Friday. Iowa won its 23rd straight conference road dual and improved to 4-0 all-time against the Scarlet Knights. Rutgers jumped out to a 12-0 lead after wins by Nick Suriano, Scott Delvechhio and Mike Van Brill, but then the strength of Iowa’s middle weights shone through, including Marinelli’s first dual meet victory coming against U23 World Champion Richie Lewis, who went up a weight from his expected competition weight of 157 pounds. Gunther fell behind early but a third-period takedown in the final minute plus riding time was the difference as he snatched away a victory from Joe Grello.5-4. Nick Gravina gave Rutgers it’s last lead of the bout with a win over Mitch Bowman at 184 before Cashtag Wilke and Sam Stoll closed the door on Rutgers’ upset hopes. Stoll finished off Razohnn Gross in 2:40 to end it. Nate Rotert’s major decision at 197 pounds and Alex Macki’s 7-5 win at 285 pounds broke a 16-16 tie and lifted No. 16 South Dakota State past No. 18 Central Michigan 23-16 in Brookings. South Dakota State’s Seth Gross continued to put up big numbers, earning a 16-2 major decision at 133 pounds, while 174-pounder David Kocher notched a convincing 10-5 win over C.J. Brucki in one of the dual’s key swing bouts. South Dakota State improved to 4-2. Navy dropped the first two bouts to Drexel, but stormed back to win seven of the next eight to power the Midshipmen to a 22-13 win over previously unbeaten Drexel. The Austin DeSanto watch is in full effect though, but he ONLY scored 13 points in a 13-6 win at 133. Solid wins checked in for Navy’s Nick Gil at 141 and Jadaen Bernstein at 174. By the way, Army-Navy football this weekend -- who you got? Michigan State went on the road and got past Buffalo of the MAC 17-16 on criteria three. True freshman RayVon Foley notched the biggest individual victory for the Spartans, an 8-6 victory in sudden victory over NCAA qualifier Kyle

Short Time Shots - December 7, 2017
One of the giant indoor playgrounds reopened tonight. You want to know stress? Take a couple hundred kids under the age of 6 and cramp them all into an indoor playground and watch your blood pressure rise. This is Short Time Shots, a quick look back at the day’s wrestling scores and more, I’m your host, Hall of Fame wrestling writer, broadcaster and announcer Jason Bryant. While this isn’t an every day show, it typically breaks when there’s at least 10 dual meets or events that are worth discussing. That’s just kind of a loose guide. Some days, there might be 3-4 really good ones I want to give you the scoop on. Others, there are a few matches or the results from some of them weren’t reported by the time I sat down and hit record. Before we start, want to thank the latest contributor to the Mat Talk Podcast Network, Ralph Wetzel from Pennsylvania. Thank you kindly sir. You are entered into the drawing for the $150 prize pack from Compound Clothing. Before we get to the scores, the big news today was Presbyterian College, a small Division I school in Clinton, South Carolina is adding a men’s and women’s wrestling program. I had a chance to talk to AD Danny Sterling today for about 40 minutes to talk about the additions and that will be on the next full Short Time Wrestling Podcast on Monday. Presbyterian had a team in the 1940s and 50s. The last team in Division I that started from scratch and wasn’t a quick reinstatement? Utah Valley in 2003. Kind of hard to call Presbyterian a “reinstatement” since they haven’t had a team since Truman. Only one Division I dual on the docket on Thursday and it wasn’t close as No. 19 Wisconsin opened up its Big Ten schedule by smashing Maryland 32-6 in Madison. Big one for the Badgers came at 141 pounds where Eli Stickley majored NCAA qualifier Ryan Diehl of Maryland 14-1. Maryland heavyweight Youssif Hemida was sharp in helping the Terrapins avoid the shutout with a first-period fall over Ben Stone. That dual was live on BTN, so go ahead and check out the Badgers who earned major decisions from Andrew Crone at 157, Evan Wick at 165, Ryan Christensen at 174 and Hunter Ritter at 197 pounds. In blustery Minneapolis where the match time temperature at Si Melby Hall was 18 degrees. This one was a romp for Augsburg, which came in ranked second in Division III. The Division II Dragons made it a match early, trailing 16-9 after five bouts but the Auggies rolled in the final five weights with four bonus victories including Lucas Jeske’s 13-5 win over Weston Dobler. No. 8 Loras, which is fresh off its win over Augsburg over the weekend, rolled past No. 18 Augustana -- yup, the Illinois one, 32-9 in Rock Island. Second-ranked Jimmy Davis earned a technical fall at 149 pounds, while we had a nationally-ranked battle at 285 as top-ranked All-American Adarios Jones of Augustana knocked off sixth-ranked Quin Gilliam 2-1. These rankings from the NWCA Division III Coaches Association. Our man Andy Vogel at D3wrestle.com has more

Short Time Shots - December 3, 2017
Another Sunday of wrestling is in the books and a completed garage project is now off my to-do list. It’s Short Time Shots, a look at the day’s top wrestling scores and more, I’m your host Jason Bryant, and today, we’re going to teach poodles how to fly. Just a limited schedule in Division I, but we had a dandy at sold-out PPL Center in Allentown as No. 1 Penn State rallied to beat No. 5 Lehigh 23-19. The Mountain Hawks took advantage of PSU’s lightweight situation as Darian Cruz and Scotty Parker got Lehigh out to a 12-0 lead with back-to-back falls. No, we didn’t see Corey Keener for Penn State. Luke Karam extended the lead to 15-0 after a slight 2-0 upset over Jered Cortez. After that, the Penn State buzzsaw would get fired up, but the big five was only four on Sunday as Vincenzo Joseph was also out of action at 165. Zain Retherford and Jason Nolf did Retherford-Nolf kinds of things, while Mark Hall edged Jordan Kutler and Bo Nickal got past Ryan Preisch by matching 3-2 scores. Anthony Cassar and Nick Nevills closed the door on the upset bid with two decisions. Nevills scored an escape and rode out Jordan Wood to earn a 2-0 win and lock up Penn State’s 35th straight dual win. The dual drew 9,896 fans, almost doubling Lehigh’s all-time record of just over 5,000 set against Penn State last year. Next, we discover Secrets of the Universe where today we’re going to learn how to make plutonium from common household items. In Spearfish, South Dakota, 17th-ranked South Dakota State swept the Dakota Showcase, as expected. The Jackrabbits picked up big wins over Division II Augustana -- the one in South Dakota obviously -- and Northern State as well as one over NAIA Dakota Wesleyan. This event had previously been held in Sioux Falls at the Pentagon -- yes, there’s an arena with such name, not a giant military office building. Chris Bono’s squad now 3-2 on the year. Frank Beasley may have found the marble in the oatmeal and he gets to drink from the fire hose as his George Mason Patriots picked up a 32-10 win over Sacred Heart on Sunday. The win is Beasley’s first as a head coach. As an ODU alum, you know the best thing I can say about George Mason University? At least they’re not VCU. This part of the program brought to you by Spatula City. On Long Island, Penn went 3-0 at the Hofstra Duals, beating host Hofstra 34-8, The Citadel 35-10 and edging Campbell 16-15. The math tells you it’s a 5-5 split so the bonus point that made the difference came at 197 pounds from Frank Mattiace. Hofstra beat The Citadel 43-6 and Campbell beat Hofstra 30-9. The only other major dual meet event was down in South Cackalacky was Newberry hosted the Newberry Duals. St. Cloud State, the No. 1 team in Division II, went 4-0 and picked up 17 victories by fall. NAIA Life was solid, beating Emmanuel 42-3 and first-year Queens 41-10 before falling to Division II Limestone 23-9. Host Newberry did pick up one seriously big win as Jordan Simpson beat past national champion Brett Vel

Short Time Shots - December 2, 2017
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

Short Time Shots - December 1, 2017
The big news in college wrestling is of course the wonderful world of the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational. There’s a lot to watch and with 20 different schools represented in the semifinals, it’ll sure to be a good Saturday of wrestling. Thanks to Earl Smith for that stat, I’m Jason Bryant and this is Short Time Shots, a semi-daily look around the world of college wrestling. Michigan leads the CKLV after the first day. Ohio State’s in second place followed by Nebraska, Arizona State and Northern Iowa. Michigan put five wrestlers into the semifinals, while Ohio State put six. Nebraska and UNI each have four. As always, the Cliff Keen provides then ranking public some major headaches as upsets are plentiful. At 125 pounds, a pair of All-Americans fell as returning NCAA runner-up Ethan Lizak was knocked off 4-3 in the quarterfinals by Utah Valley’s Taylor LaMont. Jay Schwarm of Northern Iowa avenged a loss earlier in the day to Cornell’s Mike Russo and Schwarm then beat Arizona State’s Ryan Millhof to advance to Saturday’s semifinals. Boise State transfer and past JUCO All-American Will Bardezbain of Kent State topped North Carolina’s Dalton Macri 18-15 in the Round of 16. Josh Terao of American is the lowest seed to reach the semifinals at 133 pounds. The Eagle topped No. 2 seed Dom Forys of Pittsburgh 6-3 in the quarters. He’ll face Jack Mueller of Virginia, who defeated 11th-seeded Austin DeSanto of Drexel in the other bottom bracket quarter. Up top, It’s a Michigan-Ohio State semi with top-seeded Stevan Micic set to face off with Ohio State’s Luke Pletcher. Pletcher survived a scare in a first-round tiebreaker win over Ben Thornton of Purdue. At 141, two-time All-American Bryce Meredith of Wyoming will give Cornell’s Yianni Diakomihalis his first test in the semifinals. Down low, it’ll be a Chad Red-Josh Alber semifinal. Nebraska’s Red topped Eli Stickley of Wisconsin 7-5 in the quarters while Northern Iowa’s Alber upended Tommy “The Cat” Thorn of Minnesota 4-3. Top upset of that bracket came as Pitt’s Nick Zanetta beat No. 4 seed Javier Gasca of Michigan State in the pigtails. At 149, a modest upset saw North Carolina’s Troy Heilmann go all South Plainfield on Ke-Shawn Hayes of Ohio State. Heilmann beat Hayes after falling behind 6-0 in the first period. Heilmann will face All-American Max Thomsen of UNI in the top bracket semi, while Justin Oliver of Central Michigan will face 900-year-old Colton McCrystal of Nebraska in the bottom bracket semi. McCrystal saw a huge lead evaporate in the quarters, but held on to beat Zander Wick 11-10. I found out Mr. Wick’s secret internet password -- it’s Mister Wick! Drew Carey Show reference if you’re wondering. At 157, top-seeded Tyler Berger of Nebraska looked uninspiring, but he got the job done reaching the semifinals. He’ll face All-American Alec Pantaleo of Michigan. Pantaleo pinned North Dakota State’s Clay “I’m a lot smarter than you” Ream in 1:09. We’ll see a rematch of an earlier dual this year

MSG Director of Sports Events Dylan Wanagiel talks Grapple at the Garden and its format for 2017 - ST376
The sixth annual Grapple at the Garden is set for The Theater at Madison Square Garden. Director of Sports Events for MSG Dylan Wanagiel will again join the Short Time Wrestling Podcast to talk about the event and the changes its undergoing. The previous five iterations have been in the Garden arena itself, the same place that hosted the 2016 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. With a ton of sporting events and concerts crammed into the facility, both on the arena and theater side, Wanagiel explains why and the potential for the current layout. Nine teams will showcase a celebration of wrestling as well as a high school all-star dual and a clinic featuring four-time NCAA champion and 2016 World Champion Logan Stieber.

Short Time Shots - November 30, 2017
NO MORE BEARDS! Oh who are we kidding. It’s Minnesota and the beard is like standard issue. I can at least get rid of the neck beard. That catches on all the zippers. But this isn’t a show about grooming, it’s about wrestling. It’s Short Time Shots, a look at the day’s notable news and results from the world of college wrestling, I’m your scribe and not-so-humble host Jason Bryant. At three different points tonight, my wife Abby, who is completely awesome, had to pull me away from my tablet where I was watching the dual between NC State and Old Dominion. Yes, I am an ODU graduate and yes, I make sure I mark time off on our calendar to watch ODU football and wrestling duals that are on my various subscription services. Tonight, the girls, Lucy and Ruby, were decorating the tree. I was helping out, but at points during the tree decorating, I was crouched and going through level changes watching the dual. Hey, I call things down the middle when I’m on work time, but when I’m on my own time, there’s no secret where I went to school. No. 6 NC State topped ODU 25-15 with three straight bonus victories at the final three weights to pull away from the Monarchs. While the Pack were favored to start with, the momentum swung at 157 pounds where Hayden Hidlay got up 4-0 quickly on Larry Early and earned a 13-5 major decision. That win crippled any hopes of a Monarch upset. Pete Renda and Michael Macchiavello earned techs and Malik McDonald earned a major decision to finish off the Monarchs for the host Wolf Pack. In Division II, No. 1 St. Cloud State trounced rival Southwest Minnesota State 39-4. Top-ranked Brett Velasquez earned a technical fall at 125 pounds while Larry Bomstad, ranked No. 1 at 157 also picked up a technical fall. Coach Steve Costanzo’s Huskies have only lost seven duals since 2010. What’s that exactly? They’ve won 131 out of their last 138 duals. In an all-West Virginia matchup, Wheeling Jesuit rallied to win the last six bouts and beat West Liberty 29-12. The Cardinals had four of those six wins via bonus including a fall at 197 pounds by Sawyer Leppla. West Liberty did have one notable win, Darius Bunch upset two-time All-American Dustin Warner 9-3 in sudden victory at 125. Minnesota State rocked Division III St. John’s 36-9 in an all-Minnesota dual, donchaknow. In Division III, 13th-ranked Central dropped only two bouts en route to a 28-12 victory over Augustana -- the one in Illinois. In other action Lourdes split 5-5 with Adrian but a forfeit and two falls were enough to give Lourdes a 24-18 win over the Bulldogs on Thursday. William Penn topped Truman State 27-22 in a D2-NAIA scrap. William Penn’s mascot? The Statesmen! Remember that show The State that was on MTV? Nah, not many do. It was funny. Not Kids in the Hall funny, but still amusing. Keeping it the NAIA, Andrew Nicola’s Concordia (of Nebraska) Bulldogs shutout Dakota Wesleyan 55-0 in GPAC action. Midland won the last two bouts to rally past Doane 25-17 in another GPAC dual.

Short Time Shots - November 29, 2017
When does dissecting pigs become a topic of Thanksgiving dinner? When you live in Minnesota! I’m Hall of Fame announcer, writer and broadcaster Jason Bryant and this is Short Time Shots by the Mat Talk Podcast Network, a daily look at scores and more from the world of college wrestling. More about the pigs just a bit later. Wednesday tried to be pick on Division III day as a couple of Division II schools beat area rivals from the non-scholarship level of Division III. Out near me, at least in the soon-to-be frozen tundra, Mary beat Concordia of Moorhead 33-12, while UW-Parkside, a D2 school, beat UW-Stevens Point 35-6. Mary, ranked 23rd in Division II, set the tone early earning bonus points in the first four bouts of the night over the Cobbers, FEAR THE EAR. Concordia is ranked 21st in Division III. Sidenote: Division II Limestone beat Division I Davidson on Tuesday night. Another Sidenote: I mentioned on one of the recent shows that my niece Ashley is a freshman at Concordia. Well, let me give you this little story. She was talking to our family during Thanksgiving about one of her bio labs and specifically her lab partner. No names here, but anyway, she said she was dissecting a pig -- it is Minnesota folks -- and she cut too much into the stomach and the contents of the pig decided to squirt out -- on to her lab partner. Since Ashely was doing most of the work anyway due perceived queasiness, it should come as no surprise that said lab partner decided to puke right there. No worries dude, it’s the innards of a pig shooting across the room at you. I might have yacked too. It wasn’t all sunshine and Tony Ramos for Division II on Wednesday though as Scranton, a Division III school in, you guessed it, Scranton, Pennsylvania, beat Division II East Stroudsburg 21-16. The Royals won the last three bouts of the dual to rally from a 16-12 deficit. The match-clincher came at heavyweight where freshman William Oxley topped Hunter Marhan 7-4. In a Commonwealth matchup, meaning the Commonwealth of Virginia, Southern Virginia beat Hampden-Sydney 54-0 in a dual between two new-ish programs. Southern Virginia has fielded a program for over 15 years, but they finally became a school-sponsored varsity team a few years ago. This is the first year they are postseason eligible as the school reclassified to Division III. Hampden-Sydney is still struggling with numbers, but first-year head coach Chris Conkwright will eventually get things working in Farmville. Yes, Hampden-Sydney College is just outside Farmville, Virginia NOT the game on your phone. Kansas Wesleyan beat Ottawa 26-24 as coach Matt Oney and his squad won the school’s first dual meet in history on Wednesday. Tanner O’Donnell’s first-period fall at 197 pounds iced it for the Coyotes. Reinhardt picked up four forfeits and two falls, including an 18-second fall from Garrett Klinger at 165 pounds to beat Truett McConnell in an Appalachian Athletic Conference matchup. The NAIA moved from regions or groups

Orlando Sentinel wrestling writer Brant Parsons goes old school and new school with coverage - ST374
The Sunshine State is on display as Episode 374 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast talks with Orlando Sentinel wrestling writer and glutton for punishment Brant Parsons. A wrestler in his youth, Parsons moved to Florida as a teenager and was more of a runner than a wrestler. A career in radio eventually brought him into the print media and that's where he found wrestling -- or wrestling found him again. We'll talk with Parsons about the state of wrestling in the media, balancing content with editors in a time where newspapers are struggling, his new podcast, Working the Edge, the quality of high school wrestling in the state and the impact the two-piece uniform might have on a state where much of its activity is spent outdoors.

Short Time Shots - November 26, 2017
Sunday, Sunday, Sunday - The Monsters of Mash, the Crushers of Crash coming to Civic Auditorium. FANS, meet the Nitro Girls. KIDS, meet SpongeBob SquarePants. You’ll see the five-story car-crunching monster CAR ZILLA not to mention monkey-driven, rocket-powered JET CARS! $5 buys a seat, but you’ll only need the edge -- plus ticket, title, license and service charge. Yes, I’ve done that a time or two. My friend Nate calls that “Twinkie announcer voice,” it’s basically when I go so over the top like a monster truck commercial combined with my penchant for just announcing everything I do. One of my college roommates told me once that he knew I’d be good at broadcasting, because he said I narrated everything I did. “Looking for my shoes, my keys are over there.” Jeff Palmer, miss you man. As for me, I’m Jason Bryant, your monster-truck talking, podcast-producing Hall of Fame jack of all trades and this is Short Time Shots, a look back at the happenings in college wrestling for November 26, 2017. While I focus mostly on the college side of things here on this particular version of Short Time, Richie Lewis, the 732 Savage, goes out to Poland and he’ll bring a U23 World Championship back to New Jersey. He picked up the gold at 70kg in a day that finally saw the U.S. win some medals. Joey McKenna and Ty Walz also came home with bronze medals. McKenna, as most, if not all of you know, is at Ohio State, while Walz Is on staff at Virginia Tech. NOW, to the duals. That’s duals with an A, not with an E, as someone asked on Facebook just the other day. We start in Fargo where third-ranked Oklahoma State mauled North Dakota State 40-3. The Cowboys saw two-time NCAA champion Dean Heil win his 100th career match with a tech fall over Nico Colunga at 141 pounds. Six Cowboys scored bonus points, including a fall from Kaid Brock at 133 and Keegan Moore at 184. Andrew Marsden picked up a first-period technical fall at 197 pounds. Oklahoma State improved to 3-0, 1-0 in the Big 12 while North Dakota State fell to 0-3. Fourth-ranked Missouri survived a scare in Charlottesville as the Tigers needed a win from heavyweight Austin Myers to pick up the 18-15 win over Virginia. Missouri wrestled without All-Americans Jaydin Eierman, who didn’t make the trip and Willie Miklus, who dinged up his knee in Saturday’s pin over Virginia Tech’s Jared Haught. Of note, Louie Hayes knocked off Barlow McGhee 4-1 at 125 and Jack Mueller has shown zero problems moving up to a new weight class. The Texas native topped Missouri’s John Erneste 9-2 at 133. Both teams won five, but it was bonus points from Joey LaVallee, Daniel Lewis and Canten Marriott that allowed the Tigers to survive their trip through the Commonwealth. No. 12 Arizona State won the last five to pull away from No. 16 South Dakota State 25-13 in Tempe. The Jackrabbits led 13-7 halfway through, but wins by Josh Maruca, Josh Shields, Anthony and Zahid Valencia clinched the win, while Kordell Norfleet’s win over Brady Ayers at 1

Short Time Shots - November 25, 2017
For those of you with kids, it certainly sucks when they’re sick. I’m dealing with that right now. Having to keep the 16-month-old active and away from her big sister while she decides to empty the contents of her stomach. It’s seriously the saddest thing. Hopefully some of this news will be a pick-me-up. My recent outlet, home improvement, also took its shots at me as I got hit in the face by a nail as I was prying old nails from out of my soon-to-be destroyed deck. But this isn’t This Old House or Quincy -- a reference those of you over 45 might get -- this is Short Time Shots, a quick look back at the day’s notable scores and more from the world of college wrestling -- I’m Jason Bryant and my face hurts. In Blacksburg, Virginia, the Moss Arts Center was literally center stage as No. 4 Missouri faced No. 10 Virginia Tech in this season’s top dual so far. Virginia Tech came out flat, while Missouri was wrestling crisp and clean even without the services of All-American Jaydin Eierman. With nine of the 10 bouts featuring ranked opponents in some way, shape or form, there were numerous toss-ups. One such toss-up came at 133 where John Erneste controlled the action on his feet to top a dangerous Dennis Gustafson by an 11-2 major decision. Grant Leeth scored the biggest win of his college career, an 8-2 win over two-time All-American Solomon Chiskho. The dual’s biggest individual match was also its most surprising, not by who won, but by how. Second-ranked Jared Haught of Virginia Tech was up 7-2 in the third and appeared to be finishing a takedown before Willie Miklus, who’s fresh off a pasting by Iowa freshman Jacob Warner, whipped Haught through and rolled him over, pressed him flat, pinned his shoulders, to the mat. Miklus’ fall sealed the win for the Tigers. No. 13 Nebraska headed east to West Virginia and trounced West Virginia 28-13 in Morgantown. With no individual matchups featuring ranked wrestlers, no Zeke Moisey and a forfeit at 133, this matinee was rather ho-hum. Bloodround’s favorite heavyweight, David Jensen, earned a fall in 3:17. Looking for some #MACTION? The State University of New York AT Buffalo, AKA the University AT Buffalo, not OF Buffalo picked up its first MAC dual win of the year topping Ohio U. 27-9 IN Buffalo on Saturday afternoon. Individually, Kyle Akins and Joe Ariola scored falls to propel the Bulls, but Ohio got the top individual win of the night as No. 18 Cam Kelly topped No. 5 Bryan Lantry 4-3 at 133 pounds. Internationally … check out TheMat.com and Trackwrestling.com for coverage of the U23 World Championships from Poland. There isn’t much for the U.S. t o celebrate. Andy Hamilton had sausage and pierogis for Thanksgiving, I hear. So while I’ve got your attention, I’ll be pushing out a Giving Tuesday promotion for those who are part of the Mat Talk Online daily wrestling news mailing list and for current team members of the Mat Talk Podcast Network.

Short Time Shots - November 21, 2017
I got no crazy intro here because I spent two hours on a call tonight with Mason Beckman. It’s coming up on Short Time which will be put out on Wednesday. As for now, I’m Hall of Fame wrestling writer, broadcaster and announcer Jason Bryant, and this is Short Time Shots, a quick recap of the day’s college wrestling action and news from November 21, 2017. The pin chain was in full effect at St. John Arena in Columbus where second-ranked Ohio State won two “duals” against Cleveland State and Kent State at the Thanksgiving Throwdown. Luke Pletcher, Micah Jordan, Kollin Moore and Kyle Snyder each had falls on the day. The Buckeyes beat Kent State 38-9 and Cleveland State 43-3. Kent State topped Cleveland State 36-9. Air Force and Fresno State matched up on Tuesday ON A BOAT. Well, technically the USS Midway is an aircraft carrier. Air Force encroached on its military comrades to use their boat and beat the start-up Bulldogs 24-12. This one’s drawn considerable media attention, check out the daily wrestling newsletter by signing up at mattalkonline.com/news to read all about it. In Division II, King rallied from a 22-6 deficit to win the last four weights to beat Belmont Abbey 23-22 in an ECAC matchup. Virginia Beach native Eldon Valery picked up his match-winning takedown in sudden victory at 285 pounds that also gave the Tornado the team win. Also in the mix there was Queens University earning its first dual meet win in school history. Ken Chertow’s Royals -- yes, THAT Ken Chertow -- won eight out of 10 bouts and Seth Petarra, yes, the same Seth Petarra who goes bonkers over international wrestling rankings, earned the lone fall of the dual for Queens. It’s the first year of the program, which is going to compete as an NCWA team this season before fully competing in Division II next year. And yes, you WILL get an e-mail about it. Sixth-ranked Pitt-Johnstown won again. The Mountain Cats beat East Stroudsburg 34-9 in a PSAC tilt. In Division III, second-ranked Augsburg trounced St. Olaf 42-9. Yes, I know, I know. You think I’m going to make a reference about that show and that one woman who’s still alive at like 900 years old. Well, I won’t. Alex Wilson notched the fastest fall of the night for the Auggies, a 57-second fall at 149. Augsburg is the Auggies, St. Olaf is the Oles, St. John’s in the Johnnies … oh, it gets worse. Other schools in that conference are St. Thomas. They’re the Tommies. Gustavas Adophus? The Gusties. And Concordia out in Moorhead? Well, they’re at least sane. Fear the Ear. They’re the Cobbers. My niece Ashley is a freshman there this year. One of the ol’ clients here on the Mat Talk Podcast Network is the Beavers of Buena Vista. Well things didn’t go great for the Beavers tonight as Northwestern College of Iowa had just a few too many bonus points to get the 20-18 victory. Northwestern is an NAIA school in Orange City, Iowa, but they’re the RED Raiders. No worries, coach Rik Dahl is color blind. Graceland got all shook up beati

Short Time Shots - November 19, 2017
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 st

Short Time Shots - November 18, 2017
Elton John sang something about Saturday night. I’m just trying not to get my butt kicked by my wife in Dr. Mario yet again. This is Short Time Shots for November 18, 2017. I’m Jason Bryant and spent the day over at Augsburg UNIVERSITY. Sorry Kyle Simmons, that is NOT a pun. Before I begin this monologue, I want to explain one thing about this particular version of the show. If I don’t get to a score, it’s because there was too much stuff to talk about. The point of this is to be short, not analyze every single dual that comes out. If it’s notable, and I’m not being lazy, it’ll make the show. Best way to make the show? Schedule duals for Tuesdays, there’s not much going on then. Now, dual-meet wise, it was slow in Division I, however Kerry McCoy’s Maryland Terrapins went west and beat No. 21 Stanford 18-15. McCoy spent time in Palo Alto as the Cardinal head coach prior to coming to Maryland, so he knows the landscape well. Saturday’s however, was OUTSIDE. Yes, Maryland’s wrestled TWO outdoor duals this year. Swing match at the dual came at heavyweight where Youssif Hemida topped Nathan Butler 3-1 to give the Terps the win. Maryland was put in a position to win when Brandon Cray. Wait, WHO? Beat All-American Connor Schram 8-7 at 125. Who the heck is Brandon Cray. A pretty solid kid out of New Jersey who went 26-7 during his redshirt year. Stanford surely to drop out of the Top 25 this week. Don’t expect Maryland to jump in, though. Missouri won 10 overall titles at the Joe Parisi Lindenwood Open, but six of them were in the Open Division, so we’re focusing action there. The big Missouri outcome was actually a loss by All-American Willie Miklus at 197 pounds. Coming back off an injury and moving up a weight, he was majored by Iowa true freshman Jacob Warner. That’s going to be quite the result when it comes time to pull or not to pull redshirts up in Iowa City. Of note, Barlow McGhee won at 125 in a weight where Zeke Moisey again struggled, defaulting to sixth after losing to Oklahoma’s Christian Moody. Daniel Lewis looked sharp up at his new weight class, beating Oklahoma’s Yoanse Mejias at 174 and the lone non-D1 champion -- DEMETRIUS Thomas, the returning NAIA champion from Williams Baptist. He beat Missouri’s Austin Myers 7-1. There was a team-scored invitational in Division I where Navy won its own Navy Classic by outdistancing Purdue 112.5 to 100.5. Old Dominion was third with 98.5 Navy crowned three champions -- Nicholas Gil at 141,Drew Daniels at 165 and Jaeden Bernstein at 174. Brown was the only other team with two champions as the Bears, yes, they are the BROWN BEARS, had champs from Justin Staudenmayer and Christian LaFragola. Notable champions included Luke Welch of Purdue at 125, Josh Terao of American at 133, Matthew Kolodzik of Princeton at 149, Cory Griego of Oregon State at 197 and Mike Hughes of Hofstra at heavyweight. At the Georgia Open hosted by Emmanuel College, Maveric Rechsteiner captured the championship at 285 pounds. Som

Short Time Shots - November 17, 2017
Finally, wrestling has COME BACK TO FRESNO. With apologies to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, that’s the top story for Friday, November 17. This is SHORT TIME SHOTS, I’m Hall of Fame announcer, broadcaster and writer Jason Bryant What isn’t a top story -- I actually owned the original version of NBA Jam with Charles Barkley on the Phoenix Suns instead of THUNDER Dan Majerle. But he coaches Grand Canyon and they cut wrestling, so screw them. While the score wasn’t super important, the fact we had wrestling at the SaveMart Center in Fresno, California for the first time in almost 11 years, that’s the deal. Sure, 14th-ranked Illinois piled up bonus points and Isaiah Martinez won his 100th collegiate match, but we saw a school President, Joseph Castro, man up and say “This area cares about wrestling and we’re bringing back our team.” Donkey like former AD Thomas Boeh might have put the team on ice for a while, but coach Troy Steiner and his crew are going to build a winner in the Central Valley That didn’t happen on Friday though. Two big wins were registered by the Bulldogs, whom I represented today with #WrestlingShirtADay. Kristian Olivas topped Eric Barone at 149 and Greg Gaxiola knocked off Kyle Langenderfer. I just want to play some Nerfherder after saying Langenderfer. Santa has a Mullet -- look it up, it’s a song by Nerfherder. Oh, I-Mar improved to 100-2 all-time. He’s good. Top-ranked Penn State is probably the best road draw attendance-wise in the country. The Nittany Lions saw over 3,000 witness their 40-2 blitzkrieg of Binghamton on Friday night. Seven of the Penn State wins came via bonus points with Jason Nolf and Zain Retherford each earning falls, while Bo Nickel fell to third in the Penn State individual Hodge standings merely capturing a major decision. The one Penn State loss? You guessed it, 125. No. 6 Minnesota headed west to Brookings and beat No. 16 South Dakota State in front 3,063 fans at Frost Arena. The highlight there was at 133 pounds where No. 1 Seth Gross topped No. 6 Mitch McKee 9-4. South Dakota State did score a modest upset at 157 pounds where Luke Zilverberg beat 10th-ranked Jake Short 5-2. No. 8 Iowa swept the Iowa City Duals. In other news, water is wet. Zack Zavatsky needed overtime to get past Bryce Carr at 184 pounds in the top bout of the night as No. 9 Virginia Tech beat host Chattanooga 28-7. Little homer note, B.C. LaPrade picked up his first career dual meet victory. He’s from New Kent, which is right up the road from where I grew up and he’s named after a headache power for a reason. Even without a couple of its regular starters, 10th-ranked Lehigh flew past No. 24 Edinboro 27-14. Scott Parker continued his torrid start, pinning nationally ranked Korbin Myers at 5:33 to spark the Mountain Hawks victory. Also of note for Lehigh, Gordon Wolf earned a 16-8 major decision over Austin Matthews at 165. On paper, Cornell didn’t look that strong. On the mat, No. 19 Cornell said we’re Ivy Leaguers, whatever tha

Short Time Shots - November 16, 2017
It’s Short Time Shots recapping the scores and more from November 16, 2017 … and just to let you know, the worst band I’ve ever paid to see on purpose perform live? R.E.M. I’m Jason Bryant, let’s get to it. Light night in Division I with just two duals including Indiana escaping 19-18 against host Bloomsburg. Hoosier heavyweight Fletcher Miller was the hero, earning a victory in overtime to give Indiana its first win of the year. Bloomsburg put up a fight, with Willy Girard knocking off NCAA qualifier Elijah Oliver 12-5 at 125 pounds. The score tells two different stories here. Indiana, from the Big Ten, struggled to get past a team that coming into this season had only won FIVE of its last 52 dual meets. The Huskies can see some positives here. They’re 1-2 on the season and coach Marcus Gordon can use this for some badly-needed program momentum. If you’re the Hoosiers, you shouldn’t be this close to a team that went 4-17 last year with its only wins coming over Davidson, Sacred Heart and a couple of non-Division I teams. In Fairfax, Virginia, the Frank Beasley era began with a thud as Oregon State ventured across the country and topped George Mason 32-9. Oregon State won eight of ten matches, but forfeited 125 pounds. So that meant no Ronnie Bresser. Also out of action was All-American Canadian Amar Dhesi. In his place, Oregon State’s Cody Crawford rallied from an early 4-1 deficit to beat Matt Voss 9-5. #15 Coe-#13 Central The best dual of the night came, not surprisingly, from the Iowa Conference where 15th-ranked Coe College knocked off 13th-ranked Central College 23-15 in Cedar Rapids. Central jumped out to a quick 6-0 lead thanks to wins by All-Americans C.J. Pestano and Cam Timok, but Coe All-Americans Cole Erickson and Jake Voss -- hrm, a second Voss reference today -- earned major decisions to highlight the Kohawks performance. It came down to heavyweight and Coe’s Brennan Koerperich pinned Holden Miller to give the host squad the modest upset. D3wrestle.com Wrestler of the Week Jordan Newman was the fastest man on the mat on Thursday, picking up a fall at 197 pounds in 95 seconds as No. 12 UW-Whitewater went into Stevens Point, Wisconsin and pounded UW-Stevens Point 33-3. Ned Shuck’s Warhawks improve to 2-0. Elsewhere in Division III, Manchester topped Adrian 25-21, while NAIA Lourdes knocked off Muskingum 38-12. Natural segue to the NAIA where Oklahoma City shut out Lyon 50-0 and No. 12 Montana State-Northern topped Warner Pacific 34-12 Some news you can read about by subscribing to Mat Talk Online’s Daily Wrestling Newsletter at mattalkonline.com/news -- Tiffin University hired Brittney Gadd as its new women’s coach. The school will start a women’s program next season. -- Flowrestling did a list of the top wrestler celebrations. Fuddy-duddies need not read. -- The World Wrestling Resource Podcast I hosted on Thursday featured coach Dan Gable and our topic was Dave Schultz. Lots of great stuff can be mined out of that one -- I’m

The Daily - November 15, 2017
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.

Kevin Black launching new women's wrestling opportunity at River Falls High School in Wisconsin - ST364
Kevin Black was a four-time high school state wrestling champion at River Falls High School in Wisconsin. His college career at Wisconsin saw him compete at the NCAA Division I Championships three times, including a fourth-place finish at 133 pounds in 2002. Now the head coach at his alma mater of River Falls, Black has launched a unique initiative aimed at developing women's wrestling at the age-group levels. On Episode 364 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Black explains his plan and how River Falls High School will facilitate the educational goals for a new group of women's wrestlers. Black also shares his opinions on the developmental gap between the U.S. and other countries and why he believes women's-only wrestling opportunities will further help grow the number of women's wrestlers in Wisconsin and the U.S. JOIN THE TEAM And if you're a fan of the extensive and broad-based reach of the shows on the Mat Talk Podcast Network, become a TEAM MEMBER today.

Frank Popolizio continues to evolve and innovate with Northeast Duals and Collegiate Classic - ST363
Frank Popolizio is always a busy guy. He doesn't seem to have time to sleep in between coaching wrestling, coaching more wrestling, running events and even birthing cattle. On Episode 363 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll talk with Popolizio about the upcoming Journeymen/MyHouse Northeast Duals and Collegiate Classic. A solid core of teams are coming back to the Capital region of New York with third-ranked Oklahoma State and eighth-ranked NC State as two of the most notable teams. Popolizio will explain why the event, now in its 15th year, has morphed into a two-day, two-format, two-venue situation and what's been good about the process. He also explains why you shouldn't leave a gate open with a bull in the field. Also, SHORT TIME is now on SPOTIFY! Details on where and how to listen are coming soon. As noted in the post-show comments, ODU Hall of Fame inductee Jeff Rusak was mentioned. Here's the article about the former ODU wrestler who is now a Virginia Beach firefighter who helped amidst the turmoil in Puerto Rico after the hurricanes.

Wrestling isn't brain surgery, unless you're Dr. Mark McLaughlin - ST362
Episode 362 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast talks with one of the hosts of the upcoming NWCA All-Star Classic, Dr. Mark McLaughlin, neurosurgeon and President of the Wrestlers In Business Network Princeton Chapter. Dr. McLaughlin, a New Jersey native who wrestled at the College of William & Mary, spent a number of years learning his craft with nearly a decade and a half of schooling. He's also taken time to coach kids at youth wrestling clubs in New Jersey on top of his 70-80-hour a week workload. Dr. McLaughlin talks about what he's learned from wrestling, how it's shaped his career and his mindset and how to major in philosophy as a way to improve your critical thinking skills used while in the operating room. He also briefly touches on the CTE and concussion chatter around youth sports, including wrestling, and how much a historic city like Williamsburg, Virginia, changed his life. He also talks about some of the matchups he's most excited to see, including the 10 women's bouts scheduled for the first time in the event's 52-year history.

Women's wrestlers sound off on ACLU claims of discrimination against women by NCWA - ST361
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sent a letter to the National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NCWA) alleging discrimination. While the NCWA had 10 days to legally respond to the allegations, the ACLU went on a media assault, pushing out video content and share campaigns aimed at pushing the agenda to the masses. There's one (or more than one) problem, the NCWA is the only organization that offers college teams, albeit mostly student-run clubs, to compete in both men's and women's divisions. That isn't good enough for one Michigan native, so the ACLU pounced, labeling itself a champion for women's wrestling. On Episode 361, three women's wrestlers come to the table to talk about the problems with the ACLU narrative, explaining the depth of the current women's wrestling opportunities around the country and what is being done by all factions of wrestling to support the growth of women's teams -- all things the ACLU left out of its marketing push. Joining the show is Short Time regular and King University assistant coach Julia Salata, former Oklahoma City wrestler Shelby Morrison and former U.S. women's national team member and Menlo College alum Katherine Shai (formerly Fulp-Allen). The discussion explains the structure of how girls can wrestle in college -- with schools that actually have college wrestling teams. For first-time listeners looking for facts and scenarios ignored by the ACLU media push, you've come to the right place. Want to hear what the lion's share of how women's wrestlers feel about this?

Episode 359 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast talks with the new head wrestling coach at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, Frank Beasley. An Illinois native, Beasley started his college wrestling career in junior college before heading to Bloomsburg. After an injury-shortened career at the Division I level, Beasley's coaching prowess started to develop and after a stint at his alma mater and Buffalo, he connected with then-Binghamton head coach Pat Popolizio. At Binghamton and then NC State, where Beasley followed Popolizio, he blossomed as a coach and recruiter.

Remembering John Harmon with fellow Lehigh alum Denny Diehl - ST357
Episode 357 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast visits with Lehigh alum and wrestling media member Denny Diehl as he shares his memories and stories about the late John Harmon. John J. Harmon, the EIWA's Sports Information Director Emeritus, passed away Tuesday, September 26, 2017. A 1959 graduate of Lehigh University John earned a B.A. in mathematics, is survived by his wife Elaine Oberkotter Harmon and his daughters Debbie and Wendy and their families. John was a computer programmer/systems analyst by profession. Many knew him as the publisher for twenty-four years of the EIWA Newsletter, the clearinghouse of all information regarding the teams of the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association, the nation's oldest wrestling conference. He was the EIWA Sports Information Director for more than two decades. John worked with Greg Strobel, the EIWA's Executive Director, to create the conference's first website which incorporates many of the features of the EIWA Newsletter, which ceased publication in 2014. John co-authored the first and second editions of The History of the EIWA and from 1983-90 was editor of National Mat News. In 2012 he received the Dellinger Award as the nation's top wrestling journalist. He was a member of the Board of Governors of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame in Stillwater, OK, its NJ Wrestling Hall of Fame chapter and served a decade on the EIWA Hall of Fame Committee. The generosity of John and Elaine to Lehigh was boundless. They were the lead donors for the renovations of Grace Hall that became Leeman-Turner Arena. Typical of the man, he insisted that the arena be named, not after himself, but after Hall of Fame coaches Gerry Leeman and Thad Turner. The Harmons also supported the building of Goodman Stadium, the head wrestling coach and assistant coaches’ endowments, the Michael Caruso Wrestling Complex, and the John J. Harmon '59 Wrestling Scholarship. Elaine assembled thousands of care packages for service members who were deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. His community activities included the Lawrence Township Board of Education, the Mercer County Human Services Advisory Council, the Lawrence Rotary Club, and several New Jersey statewide committees dealing with education. A lifelong railroad enthusiast and investor, Harmon was a member of the National Railroad Historical Society.

Bass Master Angler of the Year Brandon Palaniuk discovered wrestling and fishing at the same time - ST356
Bass Master Elite Series Angler of the Year Brandon Palaniuk knew he wanted to be a professional fisherman when he was young. He discovered fishing right around the time he discovered wrestling. As a youth, a trip to a North Idaho College dual meet introduced him to the sport, while fishing with family and friends introduced him to his passion. On Episode 356 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we talk to Palaniuk about his wrestling career, it's relationship to fishing and how he was called out of "retirement" after high school to fill the spot at 133 pounds for North Idaho College and coach Pat Whitcomb about 10 years ago. Still a wrestler, Palaniuk is one of the top anglers in the world, evidenced by his season-long performance within Bass Masters.

Looking back on 19 years in Fargo - ST345
Episode 345 is a solo show where I’m talking about some of the best memories, not all the best, but just some good and maybe some bad memories of my 19 years covering the Cadet & Junior Nationals. Below is the “show notes” which were basically the rough outline for the show Richard Immel and I were going to do from Fargo. Pardon the grammar and lack of actual respectable prose here, it was initially an outline. 1999 - First Year Was working at a KFC in the Grafton section of Yorktown, Va. Got a call from Mike Newbern. “Twink, Gary Alcon (ref) can’t make it, do you want to go to Fargo?” That right there changed it all. Everything. Stayed in Reed Johnson Hall. Virginian Christian Smith made the Cadet Freestyle finals at 83.5 pounds. He ended up being a 3x state champion and NCAA qualifier for Duke and Liberty (He took down Nickerson in 2007 to open up the tournament). There was no Buffalo Wild Wings. There was a Bison Turf, there was a mug and I may or may not have been from Alabama. Or named Kevin. Shared a dial-up line with Sara Koenig from NCMat.com (you know her now as one of the tournament directors for the Super 32. Rob Sherrill vouched for me for a media credential. Thankfully, I’d met him in Virginia at the Virginia Duals when I was in high school. Don’t remember much about the competition since I was still pretty new to the national scene. We had the Dream Team Classic in VA that year, so I paid attention to guys like Foley Dowd, Jason Powell, Clark Forward -- and two of those Team USA guys met in the finals, Damion Hahn beat Jason Potter. 2000 - Year 2 Buffalo Wild Wings Opened. Taco Bell re-opened, it was closed the year before for renovations. Harry Lester vs. Mark Jayne, Junior Greco. Jayne was returning JR. Champ, Lester won cadets the year before. 3-5-3 (BOOM). 132 pounds. Virginia had two cadet champs - Christian Staylor and Albert Childress (almost bookends) Kid named Tyler Safratowich of Minnesota won at 83.5 pounds, did a backflip, then he started eating. Mary Kelly going 2-2 in Cadet Freestyle and Micah Amrozowicz having to come from behind to beat her 8-7. 2001 - Year 3 Started doing freelance work for TheMat.com and wrote features on the Dibbern triplets, Mary Kelly wrestling against the boys in the Juniors. Cerebral Palsy kid J.C. McMaster - his e-mail address was pimp_limpin@ something another dot com. Jeff Courtney, a deaf All-American from West Virginia … and TRAVIS EFFING LEE. Lee “leis’ greco gold. Beat Nick Simmons. Stopping Simmons from becoming just the 2nd guy to win 4 JR FS titles. 2002 - Year 4 - Drove from ODU. FIRST YEAR OF FEDERATION WEIGHTS. WENT FROM 96 AAS TO 120 IN JUNIORS 104-136 Started bringing my radio equipment and doing the webcast for USAW with Rob and hte late Jon Ponwani. Cleveland - NO Chicago - Driving down Addison, game over Milwaukee - Karaoke at a Friday’s in Brookfield, WIS Minneapolis - Twins vs. Angels, MIlton vs. Washburn, preview of ALCS First year of Junior Women -- Mal

Even kidney transplants can't slow down the energy of Georgia coach Jeff Ragan - ST344
Jeff Ragan's found a new lease on life and in wrestling. On Episode 344 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll talk with Ragan who is coaching in Fargo with Team Georgia. During the high school season, he coaches at Woodward Academy in Georgia, one of the largest college prep schools in the nation, and according to Ragan, the largest in the Lower 48. Ragan, a longtime assistant at The Citadel before coming to the high school ranks, had one of his wrestlers reach the Cadet Finals on Monday. But the battles his wrestlers face haven't quite been the same as what he's battled. Ragan had a kidney transplant four years ago after going through two years of dialysis. He doesn't make a big thing of it, but it rubs off on the people around him, including Georgia coach Christian Flavin, who works with the Greco program in Georgia and wrestling club at Woodward.

NCAA champion and UFC veteran Mark Munoz giving back to wrestling by coaching in Fargo - ST343
After the first session of Day 2 at the Cadet & Junior Nationals in Fargo, North Dakota, we caught up with the Filipino Wrecking Machine, Mark Munoz. Munoz, a 2001 NCAA champion at Oklahoma State and recently retired UFC fighter, is here to give back to the sport after it taught him so much. Munoz also talks about the scope of the tournament, how Fresno State restarting its program impacts California wrestling and how we need more schools to restart wrestling to increase the sport's diversity and to provide communities like the Latino and Asian-American more opportunities to use athletics as a vehicle to attend college.

Athlete Peformance Solutions' Grant Turner on Nike Wrestling and its place within the sport - ST340
When the University of Oregon dropped wrestling in 2007, a lot of people were pointing the finger at Nike. The athletic giant grew out of the Eugene campus and with wrestling no longer sponsored at the school, many called for the company to get out of wrestling altogether. It nearly did. But now Athlete Performance Solutions has brought Nike Wrestling back into wrestling and the company is already making an imprint on the sport once again. Iowa State alum and current Grand View assistant Grant Turner is one of the big factors in Nike's return to wrestling. With Turner and crew helping guide Nike corporate in the right direction, Athlete Performance Solutions is now the official gear provider of USA Wrestling and the apparel provider of USA Wrestling events. On Episode 340 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll get inside the company a little bit and see why some people are changing their opinions on Nike. You won't be able to miss them in Fargo.

Virginia Tech All-American Josh Feldman leads the charge with Beat The Streets Lancaster - ST324
In 1994, Josh Feldman became the second All-American in school history at Virginia Tech after he finished seventh at heavyweight. A short stint in college coaching and a conversation with some friends led to him enlisting in the United States Navy. Feldman got back into wrestling after being stationed in Southeastern Virginia at the numerous bases in the area. Coaching at Great Bridge and Grassfield High Schools in Chesapeake, Feldman got deployed and his high school coaching career seemingly came to an end. After putting in 20 years in the Navy as a pilot, Feldman has settled in Central Pennsylvania, taking a new challenge that involves coaching again, but this time with the new Beat The Streets program in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. In an area known for wrestling, Lancaster City has been struggling with participation and reach. This is where Feldman's task comes in.

On Episode 323 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Kraisser, the first wrestling All-American in school history, talks about his reasons for following Cary Kolat to Campbell, the pressure on him to live up to the expectation that he would be the first All-American at the school and how his performance will impact the program moving forward. Kraisser also explains how difficult the weight cut was this year to 125 and having to go through a few tough opponents who had beaten him earlier in the season in order to earn an eighth-place finish at the 2017 NCAA Division I Championships in St. Louis.

All-American Jake Residori wasn't overlooked, he chose SIU Edwardsville - ST322
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.

Twenty years of building wrestling opportunity with the NCWA's Jim Giunta - ST316
Twenty years ago Jim Giunta sought out to try to solve a problem with college wrestling. That problem was kids were going to schools that didn't have wrestling programs and kids wanted to wrestle. Now, the National Collegiate Wrestling Association will be hosting its 20th annual championships on March 9-11 in Allen, Texas. The NCWA started as a small conglomerate of wrestling clubs and has now grown to an organized collection of clubs, school-supported programs and fully vested athletic teams just looking for the opportunity to wrestle. On Episode 316, Giunta will look back on the growth and vision behind the organization and how it spawned after a successful charge in getting Texas to sponsor high school wrestling officially.

Cael Sanderson on National Duals, Frank Molinaro and the byproducts of the Mark Hall decision - ST311
Oklahoma State will host Penn State on February 19 in Stillwater, Oklahoma, at historic Gallagher-Iba Arena for the NWCA National Duals Series Championship. Note the terminology, this isn't the "NCAA Dual" championship and Penn State coach Cael Sanderson has a few opinions on the topic. With several coaches going on record about their displeasure around what happened to this year's format, and to a lesser extent, the buy-in overall, Coach Sanderson reached out to give a deeper opinion of this year's scenarios and the process as a whole. On Episode 311 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll kick things off with some chatter about Frank Molinaro's Olympic run, training freestyle in State College, the impact Mark Hall's insertion into the lineup had on senior Geno Morelli and then the National Duals discussion.

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.

Women's Wrestling Week with King U. assistant coach Julia Salata and National Duals thoughts - ST309
It's Women's Wrestling Week in the U.S. and what better way to celebrate that time than with one of the most amusing women's wrestlers on the planet, Julia Salata. A four-time WCWA All-American and two-time champion for King University, Salata is in her second year on Jason Moorman's coaching staff at the Bristol, Tennessee school. We'll talk with Salata about her experience in Rio as a training partner for Adeline Gray, photobombing Ryan Seacrest, what Helen Maroulis' moment means for women's wrestling, the college scene and how fast we're adding programs and a number of topics. I'll also go into a monologue with my opinions of the National Duals matchups. Basically, I don't like them and I'll tell you why.

Part 1: Rollie Peterkin on breaking away from Wall Street, to MMA to life in the Canary Islands - ST307
What began as an interview request talking about a book morphed into a two-part series with former Penn wrestler Rollie Peterkin. A world traveler, Peterkin gave up his dream of working on Wall Street to turn to the world of Mixed Martial Arts. But Peterkin didn't just drop his suit and tie off at the cleaners and run down to the local boxing club. He packed up and moved South -- like South America South, landing with a friend in Peru. A few amateur fights later, Peterkin turned pro and the story of "Escaping the American Dream" became a reality. Peterkin now has a book called "The Cage: Escaping the American Dream" which is available on Amazon. Part 1 of this series breaks down the journey and the drive to write the book and explains how Peterkin ended up an English teacher in the Canary Islands. Part 2, coming out following this episode, will feature some of Peterkin's stories from the road and the past, including explaining his time at Blair Academy.

State wrestling media shenanigans going on in Iowa. Getting Troy Banning and Tony Hager's take - ST302
Getting back into the swing of things with the Short Time Wrestling Podcast and Episode 302. This episode, I'm going to look south to Iowa (that's how you know it's cold) and talk with Troy Banning, the Sports Editor at the Freeman Daily Journal in Webster City, Iowa and Tony Hager from IAwrestle.com and Takedown Wrestling Media. The topic of media access and credentialing has come up in Iowa regarding the state championships in a number of sports, but as we zero in on the popular state wrestling tournament, we've learned that a media entity, not a state association, will make the call in regards to credentialing as well as the move away from a press row, sending journalists and photographers away from the matside norm and back to hallways to watch on TV's. This smells bad and we'll get Tony and Troy's take on the questionable circumstances around this "guideline" change. The Short Time Time Wrestling Podcast is proudly supported by Compound Clothing.

Cornell's Gabe Dean insists he's just having fun out there - ST299
Heading into the 2016-17 season, Cornell's Gabe Dean had already established himself as one of the nation's most dominating wrestlers. With 60 percent of his career victories via bonus coming into this season, Dean set his sights on a third NCAA championship, not necessarily the Dan Hodge Trophy. On Episode 299 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Dean talks about why he's off to a punishing start, winning the first 13 official matches this season by bonus and that isn't counting his major decision over NCAA champion Myles Martin of Ohio State at the NWCA All-Star Classic. Dean's path this year is set on destroying hopes and dreams of other 184-pound athletes, but if you ask him, he's just going out there to have fun. We'll talk to Dean about his career goals, life after wrestling, life after international wrestling, what style he's considering and how he'd wrestle himself. He also knocks our 10 questions out of the park. We're throwing away the timer. The Short Time Time Wrestling Podcast is proudly supported by Compound Clothing.

Fresno City's Paul Keysaw and his Rams find the fight to win California Community College title - ST298
When Fresno City College finished up the 2016 California Community College Championships this past weekend, they looked back and saw Cerritos College five points behind. Last month, Cerritos capped an unbeaten league season with a win over Fresno City for the state dual championship, but Fresno City and coach Paul Keysaw would ultimately prevail and win the school's 14th state title. On Episode 298 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Keysaw, a 1991 NCAA champion at CSU Bakersfield, will talk about the run through the tournament, including a tournament-shifting 5-1 round in the semifinals that enabled the Rams to claim the team title in the closest race since Cerritos edged Fresno City by eight points in 2014. It was Keysaw's sixth title at Fresno City and ninth overall. He won three titles at Moorpark prior to landing in Fresno. We'll talk his roots, his battles with Randy Couture and what he loves about coaching. The Short Time Time Wrestling Podcast is proudly supported by Compound Clothing.

Chael Sonnen breaks down Submission Underground 2 as Jon Jones faces Dan Henderson - ST296
Chael Sonnen returns again to the Short Time Wrestling Podcast to give a mental mind meld of what he thinks is going to go down when Dan Henderson meets Jon Jones at Submission Underground 2 in Portland on December 11. Submission Underground, founded by Sonnen and streamed live on FloGrappling, is basically MMA without the striking. The whole point is to make your opponent submit. Sonnen, host of a popular podcast on PodcastOne, will talk about the dynamic between the two fighters, how the situation with the match presented itself and what he expects. We'll also talk turkey, literally, and chat about some things in Las Vegas, the Olympics and the world of Greco-Roman wrestling.

South Dakota State brings over 4,000 to Frost Arena in record-setting night against Iowa - ST295
Short Time makes its first ever trip to Brookings, South Dakota as the No. 20 South Dakota State Jackrabbits hosted third-ranked Iowa at Frost Arena on Friday, December 2. For South Dakota State, it was a chance to set a new attendance record -- and boy did they ever. The South Dakota faithful put 4,087 into Frost Arena although their boys in blue fell to the Hawkeyes 29-8. The Iowa-South Dakota theme was consistent as Madison High School in South Dakota faced CL-GLR in a South Dakota vs. Iowa dual prior to the Jackrabbits and Hawkeyes. The angle there is SDSU two-time Division II champion Paul Konechne coaches at CL-GLR and his brother Marty coaches at Madison, about 40 minutes from Brookings. A war of words led to the matchup at the Division I championships and Coach Chris Bono got the brothers together to kick off afternoon with a back-and-forth dual. We'll talk with the Konechne brothers, Tom Brands, Sam Brooks, Thomas Gilman, Chris Bono, Seth Gross and Nate Rotert on this Saturday Short Time.

Stand Up filmmaker Abdullah Abu-Mahfouz takes on life and wrestling with Central Dauphin East H.S. - ST294
Abdullah Abu-Mahfouz graduated from Central Dauphin East High School in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania with some unfinished business. On Episode 294 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll talk with Abu-Mahfouz about how he's finishing that business with a wrestling documentary film called Stand Up. Abu-Mahfouz follows his alma mater as a handful of wrestlers look to try to qualify for the Pennsylvania state tournament. In wrestling-rich District III, this isn't exactly an easy task, even for the district's most powerful programs. We'll breakdown how fans can check out the film, how the idea to do a documentary got started and understand how wrestling provided a sense of friendship for a Muslim-American in wrestling-rich Pennsylvania. For more information on the film, go to ReelNationMedia.com/standup and if you're interested in helping fund a theatrical release of the flim, head on over to SeedandSpark.com to find out how.

How the other half lives: A wrestling discussion with my wife - ST292
My wife and two daughters came with me to Virginia and the Old Dominion-Missouri match on Sunday, November 13. For my wife Abby, it was the first time she had to haul both of our children around an arena while I worked. In this instance, I was announcing the alumni dual. We got home to Minnesota a day later and it was time. What time was it? It was time for my wife Abby to appear on the program as an actual guest rather than as someone who simply laughs in the background when she's in the studio for a recording. I'll quiz my wonderful wife about her wrestling knowledge and our family and how wrestling is part of our lives. It's a bit different than the normal episode.

For the past 14 years, Frank Popolizio has rocked the early part of the wrestling season with the Northeast Duals. Now, Popolizio's going to change things up and he'll talk about it on Episode 291 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast.

No more dual scheduling nightmares, at least not for this year. Popolizio talks about the change, the challenge and the decision to go this route.

Historian Don Sayenga: Traveling and documenting wrestling for over 60 years - ST290
Chances are, when you read something historical about the sport of wrestling, Don Sayenga had a hand in it. On Episode 290 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we merely scratch the surface with one of the sport's finest historians. A longtime contributor to Amateur Wrestling News and part of a Lehigh Valley cadre of wrestling mavens, Sayenga took his discovery and love for wrestling to a level few have achieved in the wrestling world. At 82, Sayenga still speaks with reverence about his days competing, but more importantly to him, his days traveling the country and the world as a salesman researching and documenting the history of wrestling. It's likely Sayenga has written over 1,000 articles and documents about wrestling. His most notable, The Oldest Sport, ran in AWN for decades. A two-time winner of the Bob Dellinger Award, Sayenga's talents in documentation and storytelling put him in rare company. He's got some great stories to tell. From a personal standpoint, I could have talked to Sayenga for hours, but went with just one -- to start.

Sally Roberts empowers girls through sport with Wrestle Like A Girl - ST289
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.

Going Greco! Tiny Williams Baptist College and coach Kerry Regner create nation's first college Greco-Roman program - ST288
Kerry Regner's been doing things a little differently in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas. The head wrestling coach at Williams Baptist College didn't wrestle folkstyle in college, rather he went to Northern Michigan and worked in Greco-Roman. On Thursday, October 20, Regner pushed his Greco roots a little deeper into the ground at NAIA Williams Baptist College as the school announced it was starting a Greco-Roman wrestling program. That's right. A school in just its third year of wrestling is going to create a separate competitive program in Greco-Roman wrestling. On Episode 288 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Regner will talk about the genesis of the idea, which started in 2014 as a Regional Training Center concept and has morphed into the first college-sanctioned Greco-Roman wrestling program in America. Northern Michigan has been offering scholarships to compete in Greco-Roman, but the program hasn't competed under the guise of the athletic department. Regner is overcome with options and directions. Now he just needs to hire a coach. 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.

Fighting fires, and heavyweights, with UFC champion Stipe Miocic - ST284
Current UFC Heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic was an Ohio state wrestling runner-up as a senior at Eastlake North High School in 2000. He still had something to prove. In 2003, Miocic qualified for the NCAA Division I Championships on what was a pretty good Cleveland State team. He missed out on placing. He still had something to prove. On Episode 284 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast released on International Podcast Day, Miocic will talk about his rise to the top of the UFC, his passion for wrestling and baseball and how he's been able to train and win in the UFC all while serving as a paramedic and firefighter at two different stations in the Cleveland area. Miocic explains how some nuances of baseball compliment MMA and how fighting and firefighting complement one another. Fun interview with a fascinating guy. COMPOUND DEAL!

Turning the corner with Canadian Olympic champion Erica Wiebe - ST282
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.

Oklahoma's Lou Rosselli breaks down the timeline of coaching Olympic gold to head coaching acceptance - ST281
Lou Rosselli was a busy man during the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The coach of the Ohio Regional Training Center was tasked to coach Kyle Snyder and Team USA at Carioca Arena 2. All the while, Rosselli, an Olympian in 1996, was being courted by the University of Oklahoma. Just days after Snyder won gold, becoming the youngest American wrestler to win an Olympic championship, Rosselli told the world he was going to be a Sooner. On Episode 281 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll talk with Rosselli about how short that time actually was between Snyder winning and accepting the position, what his opinions are about the state of the program, retention in Norman as well as what his goals are with the tradition that exists in the great wrestling state of Oklahoma.

Sacred Heart coach Andy Lausier is Spinning 2 St. Louis, riding over 1,000 miles for the program's fundraiser - ST280
Sacred Heart head wrestling coach Andy Lausier will make his second appearance on the Short Time Wrestling Podcast as he comes back with a crazy idea for Episode 280. Last year, Lausier and assistant coach Derek Moore ran 60 miles from Fairfield, Conn., to New York City in the March to MSG as a fundraiser for SHU wrestling. This year, Lausier is getting a little nutty and he'll be Spinning 2 St. Louis, riding his bike through nine states and over 1,000 miles in one week to raise money for the program yet again. He'll also make sure his wrestlers are peddling along with him back at school every step of the way as they will be riding bikes during the entire trip with him. Lausier took over the worst team in Division I four years ago. How is their progress and what does former Major League Baseball manager Bobby Valentine, the school's A.D., think of it?

JB's Top 10 College Wrestlers of All-Time with Kyle Klingman - ST279
It's a bit of a copycat episode for the Short Time Wrestling Podcast. Scratch that, it's COMPLETELY a copycat episode. A week or so ago on the T-Row & Funky Show, a wrestling podcast hosted by NCAA champions Ben Askren and Tommy Rowlands, the pair came up with their Top 10 college wrestlers of all-time. That show got me, your humble (or not so humble) host thinking about my Top 10 list. I did some research, broke things down and then needed someone to keep me honest. I enlisted the feedback of Kyle Klingman of the National Wrestling Hall of Fame Dan Gable Museum to help give me some resistance or some assurance on my list. What came out of it? Let's find out on Episode 279! 1. Cael Sanderson 2. Yojiro Uetake 3. Dan Hodge 4. Dan Gable 5. Gray Simons 6. Kyle Dake 7. Pat Smith 8. Logan Stieber 9. Lincoln McIlravy 10.

USA Today columnist Nancy Armour explains the world of Olympic coverage - ST277
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.

Fresno State President Dr. Joseph Castro on bringing back the wrestling program in the Central Valley - ST276
Back on track with the Short Time Wrestling Podcast with Episode 276. Today, we recap Fargo and talk with Fresno State President Dr. Joseph Castro. Our Fargo recap isn't in the normal wrestling way either. When the Bison Turf burned on Friday, July 22, it sent host Jason Bryant (yes, speaking in the third person) into a period of reflection. What was it about such a college dive bar that was so cool? Well, it wasn't the bar itself, rather the wrestling people who populated it for eight glorious days every summer. It's got a special place and we'll explain why. In a rare occasion to get a University President, Short Time talks with Castro about the future of Fresno State wrestling.

A three-time NCAA Division II champion at North Dakota State, Steve Saxlund has been part of the fabric of the Fargo community with sports, his career at NDSU and his other business ventures. Saxlund along with fellow three-time Division II champion Todd Fuller worked to establish Herd and Horns on 12th Avenue North in Fargo. Football, wrestling, local stuff ... this is a place that puts sports on the brain with "gourmet" street food. Trust me, the tacos are phenomenal.

Going off the rails with USA Wrestling's Richard Immel and Bloodround's Tommy Baranoski - ST268
Due to a scheduling issue with the expected guest on Episode 268 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we had to change things up. So we called up USA Wrestling's Richard Immel and Bloodround's Tommy Baranoski to have an open discussion about pretty much anything. We kick off the show talking about how podcasting has been impactful to each of our various shows, then move on to talking about the impact Pat Summitt had on women's basketball and how wrestling has comparative impact with some guy named Dan Gable. We then tackle some listener questions, bleep out a few of Tommy's NSFW words and then just go completely off the rails with just fun conversation with three guys who like wrestling, but tie in other things with unbalanced and sometimes pointless rants.

Harvard coach Jay Weiss breaks down academics and athletics at one of the world's most prestigious institutions - ST258
Episode 258 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast visits with Harvard head wrestling coach Jay Weiss. Harvard recently topped the NWCA's All-Academic Top 30 team for the fourth time in the last six years and on this episode, we'll talk about the rigors of wrestling at a quality academic institution like Harvard and the processes that go with it. Weiss is the second-longest tenured coach at Harvard, only behind his wife Jennifer, who is Harvard's women's volleyball coach. Taking the job in his mid-20's, Weiss has coached Harvard to an EIWA championship and crowned numerous All-Americans and a pair of NCAA Division I Champions. Leading a college program after only qualifying for the NCAA Championships once as a senior at Franklin & Marshall isn't the typical Division I coaching avenue. Weiss talks about his time at Franklin & Marshall and his time at Division III Moravian and also at Brown. We'll also go Lancaster style on the Short Time segment.

Southeastern head wrestling coach Javier Maldonado building Florida collegiate wrestling - ST253
Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida became the first four-year school at the NAIA or NCAA level to field a wrestling program in decades when it launched this past season. On Episode 253 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we visit with Javier Maldonado, the head coach of the Fire. Maldonado was an NCAA qualifier for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga during his college years and was active on the freestyle and Greco circuit dating back to his years at Kissimmee Osceola High School outside of Orlando. After teaching and coaching for five years at his alma mater, Maldonado had a unique opportunity to present itself -- becoming the head coach at one of the NAIA's newest programs in a state devoid of scholarship-level wrestling. We'll talk with Maldonado about the school's brand-new wrestling facility, his trip to the Olympic Trials with his athletes and becoming the model program for other schools in Florida to start intercollegiate wrestling.

New Cal Poly head coach Jon Sioredas lands on his feet on the Central Coast - ST251
Episode 251 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast talks with the recently-hired head coach at Cal Poly Jon Sioredas. An All-American at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Sioredas broke into coaching at Old Dominion under his old high school coach Steve Martin. After six years in Norfolk, Sioredas moved on to his alma mater to serve as an assistant for Heath Eslinger in Chattanooga. In 2014, the opportunity came to land his first head coaching job at Grand Canyon, a school in the transition from Division II to Division I. After two short seasons in Phoenix, Grand Canyon announced on March 7 they would be dropping wrestling, giving few, if anyone, an official reason for the drop. Inquiries to Grand Canyon's media relations about interviews were declined and follow-ups unanswered, but Sioredas didn't sit still and mope. Three days afterwards, Brendan Buckley resigned at Cal Poly, opening the door for Sioredas to stay out west and land another coaching position. We'll talk with Sioredas about the journey from Phoenix to California's Central Coast, break down goals with the program and alumni and what he likes about the new digs.

N.C. State coach Pat Popolizio breaks down #PackMentality and the 23-1 season - ST245
Episode 245 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast visits with N.C. State head coach Pat Popolizio. The Wolfpack just finished up the regular season with a school-record 23-1 mark in dual meet competition and a No. 2 rank in the NWCA Division I Coaches Poll. An athlete at Oklahoma State, Popolizio was never an All-American and followed his wrestling passion to coaching positions at American and Binghamton prior to landing in Raleigh. Popolizio gives his take on the decision to send N.C. State to Iowa for one of the final Dual Championship Series events and how he's built a team from a sub-.500 record his first two seasons to one that's challenging for a trophy come NCAA tournament time. He'll also explain the drive in pushing athletes to heights he never experienced and how his staff of Frank Beasley, Adam Hall and Obe Blanc has been a well-oiled machine. He's also the only coach in Division I employing a former women's wrestler, Melissa Simmons, as a Director of Operations. The Short Time Time Wrestling Podcast is proudly sponsored by Flipswrestling.

Anderson A.D. Bill D'Andrea answers questions, leaves more in discussion about dropping of wrestling program - ST236
Despite being the only program to earn individual national championships since becoming a four-year institution, Anderson University in South Carolina announced on January 6 it would be dropping its wrestling program. On Episode 236 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we had a chance to talk with Anderson University Athletic Director Bill D'Andrea to try to get to the bottom of why. D'Andrea cited a number of reasons and answered questions that surrounded the nature of the drop, including why the invitation from the newly-formed ECAC Division II Wrestling Conference was rejected. There are still many questions regarding why and lack of conference affiliation, which was cited by the school, still remains the flimsiest of reasons considering the landscape of Division II wrestling.

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.

Lehigh coach Pat Santoro is still trying to become a good coach - ST230
The dual meet season leads to a lot of results where A beats B, B beats C, C beats D and D beats A. That's really nothing new in wrestling, but on Episode 230 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll talk with Lehigh head wrestling coach Pat Santoro as the Mountain Hawks are fresh off a 30-7 win over No. 8 Oklahoma in Norman. Coach Santoro is in his eighth year as the head coach at Lehigh. He explains his journey to Lehigh, which was "home" despite wrestling collegiately at Pittsburgh. Santoro explains the tradition of Lehigh wrestling and what this year's team has to do to be in a position to bring home a team trophy come March. We'll also briefly touch on the passing of Iowa high school wrestlers Austin Roberts. The Spencer H.S. wrestle collapsed at a weekend tournament and passed away shortly thereafter.

Cornell three-time All-American Nahshon Garrett almost didn't attend college - ST227
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.

We head North of the Border for Episode 226 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast where we'll chat with Vang Ioannides and Tamara Medwidsky about the Canadian Wrestling Team Trials that were held in Strathcona County in Alberta.

Ioannides is the Associate AD at the University of Alberta while Medwidsky is the Executive Director of Wrestling Canada Lutte and both answer some questions we in the states might have about how they do things "up there."

Episode 225 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast visits with Tommy Rowlands, a four-time All-American at Ohio State University and a 2007 U.S. World Teamer in men's freestyle. Rowlands has been doing various things in and around wrestling since he got out of coaching, but his two most recent happenings involve the new wrestling apparel company, The Rudis, and his new podcast with 2008 Olympian and current OneFC champion Ben Askren. The podcast, the T-Row and Funky Show (Subscribe on iTunes) gives an athlete's take on the topics in wrestling and while it's only three episodes in, will also interview people on those topics as well. Rowlands is also a partner in The Rudis, the apparel line that's featured the Dave Schultz t-shirts that have become prevalent around the wrestling community. Rowlands will also look back at one of the more painful moments in his career, the injury default that sent him to sixth place at the 2003 NCAA Division I Championships and he'll discuss his rivalry with Steve Mocco. We also take some time at the beginning of the show to remember the late Allen Brown, one of the main sources of info at WrestlingReport.com.

What can wrestling learn from roller derby? Quite a bit actually - ST224
Episode 224 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast ventures outside of wrestling to identify how a small, grassroots organization has blossomed to over 400 member leagues in 18 countries. That organization is the Women's Flat Track Derby Association. Yes, it's roller derby. Why on earth would anyone try to compare the non-P.C. world of women's roller derby to college an international wrestling? It's simple -- they get fans. Earlier this month, I went down to St. Paul and checked out the WFTDA International Championships at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium. This place is no stranger to wrestling, having previously hosted World Team Trials in Greco-Roman. Roller derby, even with its rough-around-the-edges skaters, has been a steady draw around the country. In 2009, I attended a bout between the Minnesota Roller Girls and a team from North Carolina. Four thousand people attended. A day later, the University of Minnesota hosted a home dual. Roller derby outdrew the Gophers. If you go to cities where college wrestling has a presence, I don't doubt you'll find derby leagues close that do better in attendance than college wrestling programs, and all without the benefit of athletic department backing. Mia Culprit and Mary Lou Wretched (no, not their real names) offer some insight from a governing body perspective and a league perspective. Mia Culprit works for the WFTDA, while Mary Lou Wretched works on the marketing arm in Kansas City. What can we learn from roller derby? Let's find out.

Talking wrestling over breakfast with award-winning American novelist John Irving - ST220
American novelist John Irving has penned 14 books. Two of his most famous are The Cider House Rules and The World According to Garp.

Oklahoma State coach John Smith readies his Cowboy wrestlers for the Grapple on the Gridiron - ST218
The Grapple on the Gridiron is set to have some great fall weather in Iowa on November 14. We've talked with Tom Brands, now we'll get the other perspective from Oklahoma State head coach John Smith on Episode 218 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast. Coach Smith, who's seen and done just about everything there is to do in wrestling, jumped at the chance to wrestle Iowa in an outdoor dual at Kinnick Stadium. Smith breaks down the process from his side of things and we get his take on how he's preparing the Cowboy wrestling program for this historic dual. Coach Smith also goes over some of the lineup questions concerning the recent open results at 133 and 157 pounds and whether or not he'll pull the trigger and send Kaid Brock and Joe Smith into the lineup. With Joe, a freshman and the coach's son, competing and potentially being in a position to be the best guy at the weight, coach Smith talks about what it's finally like to be coaching his own son in the Cowboy wrestling room. We'll also revisit the discussion on Smith's side of the relationship with Tom Brands and also find out how good Alex Dieringer is compared to some of the great all-time Cowboys.

Super 32 Directors Dave Barker and Sara Koenig look forward to another stellar event - ST213
Episode 213 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast heads back to North Carolina where Dave Barker and Sara Koenig of the Super 32 Challenge will break down this year's event and talk about the growth from last year to this year. Last year's episode featuring the pair, available here, is the most downloaded episode of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast. They're going to try to break their record. With nearly 2,400 entries over three divisions and the high school division nearing 1,600, the Super 32 went from being a small booster-run club tournament back in 1999 to the nation's absolute best preseason wrestling tournament. This thing is straight up massive and awesome in terms of competition. SIDE RANT: It's also come to my attention that the Atlanta Journal Constitution, one of the largest papers in the country and one of the biggest in the Southeast, won't be covering the NWCA All-Star Classic because the paper focuses on things that get page views. Well, here's your chance to help out coverage in the state that's seen college teams pop up with men's and women's programs. E-mail Sports Editor Ray.Cox@ajc.com and respectfully present why the AJC should cover this event and why it's important to the Georgia community AND to their readers. This is especially for those of you living within the AJC coverage area or those who have read the newspaper in the past. My pleas are now going unanswered, so now it's your turn to help move the needle and show the AJC that college wrestling, a unique event like this coming to Georgia, is WORTH their time and the minimal cost it takes to cover the event.

Don Beshada and Cliff Fretwell of Flipswrestling and Compound bring you the Beach Games - ST205
It'll be a big week coming up in New Jersey as Flipswrestling will host the Beach Games on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean from Sept. 22-24. The event is aimed to educate and inform senior-level wrestlers about things they need to capitalize on the world of being a professional athlete. On Episode 205 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, FlipsWrestling big gun Don Beshada and Compound's Cliff Fretwell talk about their new merger and the idea behind the Beach Games and just exactly what this event is going to bring to the community. While it's small and more or less a team-building style of "retreat" with seminar sessions and games, the idea is to create something that's fun and educational without the seriousness of a board room, but all the knowledge from within one.

Chael Sonnen gets long-winded on his thoughts of the 2015 World Wrestling Championships - ST204
Chael Sonnen was an All-American at the University of Oregon and wrestled on the ladder in both men's freestyle and Greco-Roman during the course of his senior-level career. He's been one of the most polarizing figures in MMA in recent years with the litigation, the notoriety, his subsequent deportation to Canada and that country's refusal to accept him, well, I guess that's more than most -- wait, wrong guy. Regardless of what you want to say about Sonnen and his antics outside of the cage in MMA, he is still one of wrestling's most vocal supporters. Love him or hate him, Sonnen brings a thought process unlike any wrestling fan in the world. On Episode 204 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Sonnen re-writes the title and goes with the long form format. His show, You're Welcome, on PodcastOne is one of the top shows in all of iTunes. Sonnen breaks things down, goes into rant mode and comes out ready for another year of wrestling. Leave a voicemail for the show by checking out our contact page.

ST198: Extra's Mario Lopez is still a wrestler although he no longer plays one on TV
It's been a long time coming, but Mario Lopez is finally appearing on the Short Time Wrestling Podcast. On Episode 198, we'll talk with Lopez, the current host of Extra, the Hollywood celebrity news show seen pretty much on every TV in the civilized world. Lopez was a high school wrestling state placewinner from one-class California back in 1991 for Chula Vista High School just south of San Diego. Lopez started wrestling under Mexican Olympian Gabriel Ruiz and wrestled under San Diego theater legend Bill Virchis, who also doubled as Chula Vista's wrestling coach. Lopez talks about his time wrestling through his senior year with essentially no practice while shooting Saved By The Bell, where he played A.C. Slater. We'll talk about the wrestling correlations between the Slater character and Lopez, what he remembers about wrestling in high school and how much he still loves the sport. You might be surprised to find out where Lopez, not his kids' show alter ego Slater, ALMOST wrestled in college.

ST196: Haiti's only wrestler, Asnage Castelly, readies for the World Championships and aims for growth back home
We'd teased we were having a big guest coming on Short Time for Episode 196, but Hollywood had to reschedule. I am pleased to let you know the guest for Episode 196 is extremely relevant and important to the development of wrestling and his story is fascinating. Asnage Castelly represents the ENTIRE Haitian wrestling team. He's the head of their wrestling federation and the only athlete. He's coordinated all this while serving in the U.S. military and bouncing between the U.S. and Haiti with his wife and young child. At 37, Castelly's career is likely coming to a close, at least on the wrestling mat. A Division II wrestler at American International in Springfield, Mass., Castelly recently competed in the Pan Am Games in Greco-Roman. He'll be the first Haitian wrestler to compete at the World Championships when he steps on the mat in men's freestyle (yes, he's wrestled both styles). Castelly is working to build a school and bring wrestling to Haiti, which shares the island of Hispanola with the Dominican Republic, a nation with a more organized and a modest amount of success at the Pan American level.

ST192: Kathy DeBoer, Executive Director of the American Volleyball Coaches Association on the threats to D1 Olympic Sports
On Episode 192 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, I'll speak with one of the main speakers from the NWCA CEO Leadership Academy, Kathy DeBoer. DeBoer is a longtime collegiate volleyball coach and the current Executive Director of the American Volleyball Coaches Association. DeBoer brings an intriguing and dynamic take on what the differences are between coaching men and women and how wrestling coaches can take what she's learned over the years and apply it to coaching both genders. DeBoer also explains how she once believed there was no difference in the habits of men and women when it came to sports. She's a convert and she'll tell you why. She'll recap some of her presentation and what the Olympic sports coaches associations are doing to help preserve their sports on the college level Almanac Time!

ST187: Junior freestyle Outstanding Wrestler Joe Smith of Oklahoma talks family and his famous father
Being the son of a fantastic wrestler lends itself to a little bit of pressure. When you're the son of six-time World and Olympic champion John Smith, that might put a capital P on the word pressure.

Joe will join his father next season as he hits the college mats in Stillwater, Oklahoma. Smith's wrestling roots run deep and they branch out all over the state of Oklahoma and as we'll learn, also into Major League Baseball. Was it pretty much assumed Joe would be wrestling?

ST184: Fargo, N.D. mayor Dr. Tim Mahoney on the impact of the USA Wrestling Cadet & Junior Nationals
How does a tournament that attracts thousands of people from around the country impact an often overlooked part of the country? We'll find out on Episode 184 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast where we talk with Dr. Tim Mahoney, the mayor of Fargo. Mahoney grew up in North Dakota and headed to Notre Dame and got some serious degrees along the way. He went back to Fargo in 1980 and worked as a surgeon, a job he still holds today. We'll talk with Mahoney about the economic impact of the USA Wrestling Cadet and Junior Nationals on the metropolitan area, how the oil boom in western North Dakota has shaped the Fargo population (it's in the east, in case you're geographically challenged) and how the community welcomes the wrestlers and coaches who compete in the Fargodome every year.

ST183: Greco-Roman World Bronze medalist Andy Bisek and his trademark mustache
In September of 2014, Minnesota native Andy Bisek ended a Greco-Roman medal drought for the United States that went back to 2010. Dremiel Byers was the last American to win a medal at the World or Olympic Games until Bisek broke through in Taskhent. On Episode 183 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll visit with Bisek prior to his participation in the Pan American Games where he'll talk about his development as a Greco-Roman force from his modest beginnings as a third-place finisher at the Minnesota state tournament. Chaska High might not have a state title, but it's got a senior-level World medalist. Bisek also talks about his training situation in Colorado Springs, how a trip to Northern Michigan shaped his career and what he believes the American wrestlers have to do to gain some respect for Greco-Roman in their own country.

ST182: Rhino Wrestling Club's Mike Malinconico on clubs, lock-ins and VICE Sports
Private training and clubs are nothing new to youth sports and its certainly nothing new in the sport of wrestling. For New Jersey native Mike Malinconico, creating the Rhino Wrestling Club was an accident. On Episode 182 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll talk with Malinconico about his philosophy on coaching, developing talent and dealing with people critical of a paid component in wrestling. Malinconico has also taken the "lock in" technique and brought it wrestling, putting attendees through a rigorous 24-hour workout session he developed after doing a Death Race up in Vermont. Those lock-ins got him featured on Vice Sports (read the story here). We'll talk about the idea behind Vice's story. We'll also touch on his podcast, Wrestling Life, and how wrestlers like Scott Winston and Tyler Fraley helped the Rhino Wrestling Club get started.

Episode 181 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast features Spenser Mango, the man who's owned Greco-Roman's lowest weight on the U.S. stage since 2008. The Missouri native and member of the Army's World Class Athlete Program made his eighth-straight U.S. World or Olympic team after topping Jesse Thielke in the Greco-Roman best-of-three finals split between Las Vegas and Ithaca, N.Y. Mango talks about his journey into Greco-Roman wrestling after choosing that route after nearly attending Division II Truman State. Mango went to Northern Michigan and helped launch a revival in the Greco-Roman wrestling landscape. Then Mango joined the Army, where half of the 2015 U.S. World Team, comes from. Mango overcame childhood tragedy, losing his father in an unsolved shooting when he was young and now is building a family of his own. Will 2015 be different for Mango, who is searching for his first World-level medal? What's going to be the difference?

ST180: Can we get to the bottom of the Knox College wrestling situation with former coaches Joe Norton and Matt Lowers?
Episode 180 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast will talk to two former Knox College wrestling coaches in the hopes of finding out just where the issues arose after the school cut its Division III wrestling program last week. Joe Norton and Matt Lowers both ran the program for one year. Norton left prior to this past season to take the coaching post at his alma mater, Division III North Central College in Naperville, Ill. Certainly no shame in having an opportunity to coach one's alma mater. Lowers, a Concordia-Moorhead graduate, was previously the head coach at the University of the Cumberlands, an NAIA program in Kentucky. He stepped away from coaching Knox after one year due to medical issues. Both Norton and Lowers talk about where they saw the program heading, why they left and what happened to the alleged dedication to the program from boosters? Both coaches believed there was a pledge from alumni to help fund the program for five seasons. Norton and Lowers were the first two full-time head coaches in program history after Tony Islas stepped down after 12 years as a part-time coach. Where do we go from here?

ST179: Two-time women's freestyle wrestling World Champion Adeline Gray
Two-time World Champion and four-time World medalist Adeline Gray joins the Short Time Wrestling Podcast for Episode 179 as we start catching up with our 2015 U.S. representatives for the upcoming World Championships. Gray, a Denver native, doesn't want to be one of the guys. Well-spoken and an advocate for women's wrestling, she remembers a time when young women like her didn't have women's wrestling role models because the world of women's wrestling was still developing. Now wrestlers like Gray and Helen Maroulis, get approached at tournaments by young female wrestlers eager to meet their heroes. Gray got into wrestling through her father George. With no boys to teach the armbar, George Gray showed his oldest of his four girls the move when she was six-years-old and she's still putting people away with it. Gray talks on a number of topics, including battling through some international plagues, so to speak, en route to her second World title last year in Uzbekistan.

ST178: First-time U.S. World Teamer James Green looks to make most of his opportunity
Episode 178 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast features U.S. men's freestyle World Team member James Green. Before we get into our discussion with Green, we'll throw you a few reminders about some of the products and services being offered by the Mat Talk Podcast Network, including the Hall of Fame Legends crowdfunding campaign. You can help us produce digital content from our sports' greats by giving a small monthly donation or a one-time donation at HallofFameLegends.org. It helps fund the effort and all the content will be donated to the National Wrestling Hall of Fame for its digital outreach program. It's also the 43rd anniversary of Title IX, the legislation that's helped thousands and thousands of women enjoy the benefits of sports at the college level (and other parts of life). Title IX is NOT a sports-only law. It has influence over game times, practice jerseys, gym facilities. Basically, it's gotta be fair and equitable. With Title IX's application to college athletics, the fairness is one-sided. While women have seen monumental growth in athletics, there is this blind eye to the fact the law has caused programs to be cut over the years on the men's side. To say Title IX has never impacted a men's cut is to lack common sense. But look at the numbers for yourself, before we get to talking with Green, I'll break down some stats, which you can verify by clicking here. Now, James Green. We have fun with Green and talk about his influences, how he started wrestling in New Jersey, comparisons (liked or unliked) to his Nebraska comrade Jordan Burroughs and a litany of other things. He's a fun guy to talk with and he's up next on Short Time. Follow Green on Twitter @WhoisJamesG. Shop, drop and roll Mat Talk Online has now launched an affiliate store through Amazon.com.

ST177: World Teamer Reece Humphrey wasn't pushed into wrestling by his dad
Reece Humphrey kind of always knew he'd be an Ohio State Buckeye, so when the decision came to choose a college after graduating from Lawrence North High School in 2005, he headed east to Columbus. On Episode 177 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll jump forward 10 years and talk to Humphrey, who will represent the United States at the 2015 United World Wrestling Championships in Las Vegas in September. This will be Humphrey's third opportunity to wrestle for gold at the World Championships. Humphrey goes back to tell a unique story about how he got involved with wrestling and, believe it or not, it had NOTHING to do with his dad, who was a 1977 World silver medalist. He'll also give his take on what it was like during the transition from Russ Hellickson's era to the new regime under Tom Ryan and the pride associated with winning a team title, even as an alum. It's a discussion about history, overcoming a challenging weight cut and life as a husband and father. Follow Humphrey on Twitter @ReeceHump60kg.

ST176: Olympian and MMA fighter Ben Askren talks the good, the bad and the ugly of marketing wrestling
Some news to report as USA Wrestling has announced Nick Marable, the U.S. Open champion at 70kg, will not be granted an injury extension following his failure to compete at the U.S. World Team Trials on June 13-14. Marable sustained a pre-tournament injury and requested an extension, but since that injury happened within the 18 hours prior to the event, he would have still needed to weigh in. That didn't happen. This means U.S. World Team Trials champion, James Green, is the man at 70kg. That gives Team USA two former Huskers on the squad. Green was a four-time All-American and is going right from college into the senior level. Some other nuggets of info include the USA Wrestling wrestlers of the year being announced. Andy Bisek and Adeline Gray were announced as winners, but if you were in Madison, you already knew that. Speaking of being IN Madison, that's what sparked the conversation with Episode 176 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast. We're talking with Ben Askren, a Wisconsin native, 2008 Olympian, ONE FC champion and two-time NCAA champion. Askren is always pretty vocal when it comes to marketing and promotion and during the event, he and I exchanged some banter over the Twitterverse and ultimately came to an agreement to do the interview to talk about what was good and bad with marketing of wrestling, especially when events like the World Team Trials are involved. We got some details on what the local organizing committee did and didn't do, as well as what USA Wrestling did. Ben also stepped up and did some social media push of his own. All in all, a pretty engaging conversation. Shop, drop and roll Mat Talk Online has now launched an affiliate store through Amazon.com.

ST163: Wrestling official Rick Tucci breaks down the new Greco-Roman wrestling rules
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.

ST161: New Spartanburg Methodist coach Matt Oliver heads back to South Carolina
Matt Oliver decided to take a chance on a Division II college after he won a New Jersey high school state wrestling championship. When Oliver's career ended as a Division II All-American for Newberry College, he pondered what was next. Enter a call from an old Newberry teammate luring him away from the Boardwalk on the New Jersey Shore to the flat lands of Chanute, Kansas. Then came another opportunity, a chance to lead a program as a head coach. On Episode 161 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, I'll visit with Oliver, the new head coach at Spartanburg Methodist College, a junior college in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Oliver takes over for the 12-year-old program after spending two years as an assistant at Neosho County Community College. Oliver will break down the choice to compete in Division II, cutting his teeth in coaching at Neosho and what really is the correct answer when it comes to the age-old question of whether it's pop or soda. It's an entertaining interview with Oliver.

ST160: NCAA Division II Wrestler of the Year Chris Watson wins national title, beats blood clot
Central Oklahoma senior Chris Watson has battled through injuries his entire career. As a senior, Watson was, for the most part, injury free as he went 42-0 and captured the 165-pound NCAA Division II championship. Then something went a bit wonky. Watson's arm doubled in size and started changing color. A trip to the doctor would come back negative, but then came a second and the diagnosis that Watson had a life-threatening blood clot. This wasn't just something that could be taken care of with some blood thinners, Watson needed a rare surgery to rid himself of the eight-inch clot in his shoulder. On Episode 160 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Chris Watson opens up about how he won an NCAA championship with a massive clot. He also breaks down an intriguing decision to opt for Division II Central Oklahoma after he initially decided he wasn't going to wrestle in college.

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.

ST158: West Virginia's feisty and ferocious true freshman Zeke Moisey
[powerpress] It'd been 12 years since an unseeded wrestler had reached the NCAA Division I championship finals. Back then, they only seeded to 12. With the field now seeded at 16, having an unseeded wrestler reach the finals is less likely. No one told West Virginia true freshman Zeke Moisey. Despite coming in with 13 regular-season losses, Moisey reached the championship finals at 125 pounds before falling to Ohio State nemesis Nathan Tomasello. Under first-year head coach Sammie Henson, Moisey joined us on Episode 158 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast to talk about his high school career at Bethlehem Catholic, the decision not to redshirt, recovering from surgery and what it's like to be #BullTrained.

Only four people in the history of Division I college wrestling have won four individual national titles. Prior to 2015, that list was only three. Ohio State's Logan Stieber won his fourth championship last month to join Pat Smith, Cael Sanderson and Kyle Dake in the exclusive club. On Episode 157 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, I'll talk with the one they call Logie Bear about the Ohio State Buckeyes first team championship, the pressure on trying to win four titles, the pressure in watching his younger brother Hunter battle through injuries. Stieber talks about the journey from tiny Monroeville, Ohio to Columbus and when he knew he was going to be a Buckeye. He'll address Cleveland State, Mike Pucillo and his future in freestyle wrestling. Stieber also talks about some individual performances from other teams he noticed at the NCAA championships and maybe who he might have voted for the Hodge Trophy if he could not have voted for himself.

ST156: Cleveland State Athletic Director John Parry talks about the future discontinuation of wrestling
Unfortunately, this is the second Short Time episode in the same week that deals with a threatened college wrestling program. On Monday, March 30, Cleveland State University announced it was going to discontinue funding of the wrestling program effective after the 2015-16 season. The move would make way for men's lacrosse to enter the varsity athletics picture. Several things didn't make sense as to why a school would be adding a more expensive sport to its athletic programming and one that wasn't sanctioned as a high school championship sport in the state of Ohio, where Cleveland State draws the majority of its students. So we set out to get answers on Episode 156 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we'll get some information on the Cleveland State situation with the school's Athletic Director, John Parry. Parry will address questions about why lacrosse, what wrestling can to do maintain its place on campus and most of all, why a school would start a sport -- if there's no funding for it.

ST155: Pat Timm on trying to save the Northern State University wrestling program
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.

Back in studio after the lengthy postseason travel. Episode 154 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast talks with the nation's top big man, two-time NCAA Division I heavyweight champion Nick Gwiazdowski of N.C. State. Gwiazdowski became a three-time All-American at the 2015 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships. His second title was a 7-6 win over Michigan's Adam Coon. Gwiazdowski is one of the most active heavyweights in recent memory and his style actually makes people want to watch the heavyweights more than the 2-1 dancing bears many seem to associate with the weight class. Gwiazdowski talks about his first year at Binghamton, having to face eventual champion Tony Nelson in the first round and wrestling back for eighth place, then the decision to follow coach Pat Popolizio to N.C. State. Gwiazdowski also breaks down the turning points in the season, his big breakfast following nationals and what the term "Pack Mentality" means to him.

Some notable firsts and a crazy story about a young man still learning how to wrestle emerged from the 58th annual NAIA National Wrestling Championships in Topeka, Kansas on Friday. One of the most interesting stories is from North Carolina native Ceron Francisco, who came in unranked and now he's wrestling in the semifinals. He started wrestling as a junior in high school, but an injury cut his season short. His senior year was his first full year of wrestling and now, as a sophomore needed a wildcard into the tournament, he's one win away from the finals. I'll also talk with Williams Baptist head coach Kerry Regner. He brought four wrestlers to the tournament in the program's first year and 125-pounder Isaiah Johnson will be the school's first All-American after earning his way into the semifinals. Ottawa's Kevin Andres qualified two wrestlers and 141-pounder Tyler Hinton earned All-American honors by pinning returning All-American A.J. Valles in the blood round. St. Andrews coach Joe Baranik has coached at the Division I level and at the high school level, but heavyweight Denzel Vaughan moved into the semifinals giving the program its first NAIA All-American. Started as a Division II program nine years ago, the school reclassified to the NAIA and Vaughan, a Virginia native, had to rally to get the win.

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.

ST146: There's an App for that; Takedown App's Jack Moses and Centermat's Thomas Kimbrell
Technology always changes the way people do things. In wrestling, it's no different. On Episode 146 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, I'll talk with two people who are trying to change the sport for the better -- one with scoring and the other with information. Jack Moses launched the Takedown App, an iPad app aimed at saving, preserving and streamlining the scoring of dual meets and team data. Jack's Takedown App and Takedown Live, where fans can follow their teams who use the Takedown App, can be found online at LevelChanger.com. Jack talks about the idea behind how it got started and where he'd like to see his app used consistently. A Georgia native, Thomas Kimbrell wrestled at CSU Bakersfield and came up with an idea to put college wrestling results in more of a mobile format. With that in mind, Kimbrell and some friends started developing the Centermat App, available for both iOS and Android at Centermatwrestling.com. This past season, Kmbrell's app tracked as many dual meets as they could find and will be working to add tournament functionality as the company grows.

ST137: Executive Director Jim Giunta breaks down the history and innovations of the National Collegiate Wrestling Association
In 1997, Jim Giunta wanted to create more opportunities for people to wrestle in college. A year later, the National Collegiate Wrestling Association was founded and held its first national championship. From meager beginnings with 13 sports clubs and small varsity programs to now over 170 teams, the NCWA is thriving. On Episode 137 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, I catch up with Giunta, the founder and Executive Director of the NCWA, prior to the organization's National Dual Meet Championships in Dalton, Georgia. Giunta first breaks down some innovative aspects of the National Duals, with an experimental dual meet scoring system where every match point is part of the team score and with the placement at the National Duals feeding into the year-end individual tournament. We also talk about the word "club" and how it does and doesn't apply to the entire organization as there are a growing number of teams sponsored by their athletic departments. He likes to use the word "programs." It's informative and innovative as Giunta talks about the mission and direction of his organization.

It was a trip down to Ames, Iowa for the Virginia Tech vs. Iowa State dual and our first introduction to the Beauty and the Beast concept. Yes, the floor of the Hilton Coliseum was covered with gymnastics equipment and a wrestling mat. Iowa State's women's gymnastics team held a triple dual with Oregon State and Southeast Missouri. It was an interesting concept and experience.

ST135: Maryville Coach Mike Denney on new beginnings and a National Duals title
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.

Midlands Outstanding Wrestler and master pinner, Taylor Walsh of Indiana – Short
New Jersey native Taylor Walsh has moved up a weight class each of the last two years and the move been a detriment to his wrestling talents. As a sophomore at 149 pounds, Walsh struggled with weight and wasn't the prolific pinner, at least not yet. In 2013-14, Walsh went on a pin streak that got the nation talking about him at 157 pounds. He was second at the Midlands to Iowa's Derek St. John. In 2014-15, Walsh moved up to 165 pounds. He finally won the Midlands, pinning All-American Pierce Harger in the finals. On Episode 132 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast presented by FlipsWrestling, Walsh talks about his foundation in wrestling with all the pinning combinations and his low-risk, high-reward style that's given wrestling fans in Bloomington something to watch. Walsh explains the development of the style, why he started to run with it in college, working with assistant coach Nick Simmons and having the opportunity to wrestle at the same tournament as his younger brother Chad, who wrestles at Rider. We also settle the discussion as to what it's actually called -- Pork Roll or Taylor Ham! Short Time will also present a new listener feedback featured called Sound Off.

ST130: Front Row Brian, Kyle Dake and Joe Warren talk Grapple at the Garden
In a special joint episode of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we go in tandem with the founder of the FRB Show, and that's internet MMA insider Front Row Brian. FRB and I are co-branding this particular episode and we'll talk with Kyle Dake about his upcoming match with Greco-Roman world champion Arsen Julfalakyan of Armenia.

You can check out Front Row Brian's podcast at www.soundcloud.com/FRBshow . It's raw, uncensored (read: not necessarily safe to blare out loud around your office) and full of great MMA-related discussion. Dake answers questions about his injury, why he's wrestling the reigning world champion in Greco-Roman as part of the Global Wrestling Championships, his thoughts on Aaron Pico's decision to sign with Bellator and wrestle freestyle as well as any prospects he might have in the world of mixed martial arts. The second half of our show featured 2006 Greco-Roman world champion and self-proclaimed Baddest Man on the Planet, Joe Warren. Warren's one of the headlining athletes competing in the Grapple at the Garden as Team Joe Warren takes on Team Renzo Gracie in a club vs. club-style dual meet. Joe talks about the event, his thoughts on Dake wrestling Greco-Roman, the individual matchups and personalities, which includes Mo Lawal, Stephen Abas and Gray Maynard.

Actor Nate Parker takes on his latest film, his AMERICAN RACE project and talks
Nate Parker only began wrestling as a sophomore in high school in his native Virginia. After stints at Princess Anne High School in Virginia Beach, a stop at Churchland High School in Portsmouth, he landed at Great Bridge High School in Chesapeake, where he won a state wrestling championship and picked up All-American honors at Senior Nationals and in Fargo. After starting his collegiate career at Penn State, Parker transferred to Oklahoma, where he'd place fifth at the 2002 NCAA Division I championships in Albany, New York. Once graduated from Oklahoma, Parker went into computer programming before a chance appearance taking a friend to a casting call in Dallas got him noticed. Since that moment, Parker's been living in California and breaking into the world of film, all the while, he's been coaching high school wrestling.

Parker talks about researching that role and his newest film, Beyond the Lights, where he works with veterans Danny Glover and Minnie Driver. He also teamed up with Amy Berg on an indiegogo campaign called American Race, where Parker will explore the crisis of the black male in the United States in what he calls "a journey of investigation."

Rider's Don McNeil broke his neck, had his program dropped but he's still gettin
When you talk about adversity, Rider's Don McNeil has some stories for you. On Episode 127 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, McNeil recaps his clutch victory at 197-pounds that was one of the key wins in Rider's 17-16 criteria victory over No. 10 Lehigh on Sunday, December 7. But what does that have to do with adversity? McNeil's broken his neck, had his program dropped and lost another season to injury. Now in his senior campaign, the Massachusetts native is looking for one last run towards the NCAA championships. McNeil talks about the scenario where he broke his neck wrestling in a Greco-Roman match in high school, his subsequent paralyzation and his road to recovery. Then, when McNeil's back on the mat, he wins a National Prep championship at Wyoming Seminary and enrolls at UNC Greensboro, which cuts the program during his time there. McNeil landed at Rider, which has two criteria wins over Top 25 programs this year. He talks about the brotherhood shared with his teammates and ultimately why he decided to give Rider a second look after being initially recruited by them out of high school.

Journeymen's Frank Popolizio prepares for the Northeast Duals – Short Time Ep. 1
Hard to believe it’s been 12 years since Frank Popolizio started the Journeymen/Asics Northeast Duals. Since its inception, the early-season dual meet showcase has put some of the best college wrestlers on the mat in New York’s Capital region here at Hudson Valley Community College in Troy, N.Y. The 2014 edition will be no different as the Northeast Duals will showcase 17 college wrestling programs, a full mat of Scrap & Scramble youth duals and highlight matches from the second Flo Premier League offering. For you stats junkies out there, the event will have six of the nine Division I conferences represented as well as two teams from Division II and one junior college program. From the New York angle, Cornell, Binghamton and Buffalo will compete representing Division I, while the newly-reinstated program at LIU Post will make its Northeast Duals debut. Nassau Community College, a longtime power in the NJCAA, will also take to the mats. Five of the nation’s Top 25 dual meet programs (according to the Nov. 11 USA Today/NWCA Coaches Poll) also come to the event. Highlighting the college dual portion of the event are top-25 clashes between former Big 12 rivals Missouri and Oklahoma. The Missouri Tigers come in ranked No. 6, while the Sooners of Oklahoma are ranked 21st. Two up-and-coming programs will also matchup at No. 22 Old Dominion will face No. 25 Wyoming. Kutztown, ranked 13th to start the year in Division II, will take its best shot at No. 3 Cornell. Individually, the event packs some punch with three wrestlers who have won national championships. Defending Division I heavyweight champion and New York native Nick Gwiazdowksi will “come home” as he’s from Delanson, 30-something miles west of Troy. Joining Gwiazdowski is defending NCAA Division I champion J’Den Cox of Missouri and Division II heavyweight champion Ziad Haddad of Kutztown. Fans won’t have to wait long to see a rare champion vs. champion matchup. During the 9:30 round N.C. State will face Kutztown, putting the Division I champ Gwiazdowski against Division I champ Haddad, who initially started his collegiate career at North Carolina. Individually, 44 wrestlers are ranked by TheOpenMat, InterMat and Flowrestling with ranked wrestlers set to do battle 21 times throughout the course of the day. With eight wrestlers ranked nationally at 141 pounds, seven of the 24 college duals will feature a head-to-head ranked matchup at the weight class. During the 2:30 round, we’ll check out the Missouri-Oklahoma match, which features three matches between nationally-ranked wrestlers. At 133 pounds, two-time All-American Cody Brewer of Oklahoma will matchup with Matt Manley. At 157 pounds, Oklahoma’s Justin DeAngelis will square off with Joey LaVallee and at heavyweight, Oklahoma’s Ross Larson could meet up with Missouri’s Devin Mellon. The Sooners are loaded at heavyweight, so instead of Larson, you could also see

After cutting his teeth coaching within the NCWA with the start-up club program at Stony Brook University on New York’s Long Island, Shaun Lally headed back home. The Lehigh Valley native recently took over the coaching position at Division III Muhlenberg, just a few miles from where he grew up wrestling in high school.

Milestone victory for Oregon State and Pat Donghia talks Media Relations at Penn
We had some milestones on Thursday, November 13. Big program wins, new eras beginning and of course a reference to the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area. Oregon State achieved a milestone few teams in the sport of wrestling have eclipsed. The Beavers picked up the program’s 1,000th dual meet victory with a 43-6 win over NAIA Southern Oregon. Oregon State joins Iowa State and Oklahoma State as the only three programs in college wrestling with 1,000 wins. Tip of the cap to Jim Zalesky and past coaches Joe Wells and Dale Thomas, all of whom picked up the lion’s share of victories since 1957. Thomas coached 34 years and gave Oregon State 616 of those 1,000 victories. The victory was also Zalesky’s 100th in Corvallis. Fourth-ranked Ohio State rolled past Kent State 38-3. The highlight matchup there came at 157 pounds and it wasn’t much of a highlight as returning All-American Ian Miller of Kent State was forced to injury default in his match against Josh Demas. Even without Hunter Stieber and Bo Jordan, the Buckeyes rolled. Redshirt freshman Nathan Tomasello made his home debut a big one with a 20-5 technical fall over Del Vinas. Fellow freshman Kyle Snyder picked up a strong 11-6 win over Cole Baxter at 197. In a battle of Sunkist Kids, Arizona State and coach Zeke Jones topped West Virginia and coach Sammie Henson 19-13 in Morgantown. The Sun Devils jumped out to a 15-0 lead after winning the first five matches. Dalton Brady’s major decision at 133 pounds over returning NCAA qualifier Corey Stainbrook iced the dual for the Sun Devils. The redshirt is also off for true freshman Zeke Moisey of West Virginia. After strong outings in the first two open weekends of the year, Moisey majored Judson Preskitt 12-2 at 125 pounds. Elmhurst got a major decision from heavyweight Zack Urbanski to rally past No. 12 Wheaton 22-21 in Division III. As we mention frequently, these two programs are coached by some notable names in wrestling. Elmhurst is coached by Steve Marianetti, while Wheaton’s led by Jim Gruenwald. Elsewhere, St. Olaf topped Wisconsin-Eau Claire 27-14 in a Division III dual, while Division II Seton Hill topped Division III Washington & Jefferson 23-12 in Western Pennsylvania. Wabash beat Olivet 33-7 and North Central beat Chicago 25-12, those also in Division III. It was first-year coach Joe Norton’s first win as the head coach at North Central. NAIA St. Andrews picked up a 21-15 win over Division II Belmont Abbey. Brandon Dills’ 11-8 win over Patrick Argast gave the Knights the clinching victory at 184 pounds. Speaking of the NAIA, No. 3 Great Falls jumped out to a 25-0 lead on No. 6 Montana State-Northern in the battle of Montana, but held on to take a 28-21 victory. Top match there was at 174 pounds where returning NAIA runner-up and second-ranked Jared Miller of MSU-Northern topped fifth-ranked and returning All-American Shawn Lau 9-4. In JUCO action, defendi

ST119: InterMat JJ Classic with Fredy Stroker and Mark Hall; Weekend Updates
While it wasn’t full-on crazy this weekend, we certainly had our share of notable upsets, what the heck moments and yes … the Tampa Bay Buccaneers losing yet again. It’s tough being a Bucs fan, but then again, I was a Bucs fan during the creamsicle days, so I know what it’s like to be the only Bucs fan sitting alone at a table, looking at the bottom of an empty glass. Instead, I was proactive. I shunned the Bucs, happy with an atrociously ugly football win by ye olde alma mater on Saturday against some school in Fort Lauderdale that doesn’t have a wrestling program. That makes the meaningless on my college sports landscape. On Sunday, I ventured South to Rochester, Minnesota to check out my first high school wrestling of the season, the InterMat JJ Classic. Yes, you’re right, seemingly every important wrestling event outside of the state championship seems to happen in Rochester. There’s the Minnesota Christmas Tournament, The Clash, sometimes the NJCAA national championships are there. Oh, and Mike Busch State Farm is there. Home. Life. Auto. Mike Busch is your man. His mustache will give Andy Bisek’s a run for its money. No, Mike’s not a sponsor, just a longtime friend. Anytime I can mention Mike in anything wrestling related, it makes me smile. Anyway, as I was saying, I was down for the InterMat JJ Classic, my first gig after basically becoming independent last week. If you want a bit of a rundown about why I decided to focus more on the Mat Talk Podcast Network, read my blog at mattalkonline.com/blog10. I won’t take up too much of your time with nonsense, because Andrew Hipps of InterMat’s using this to feature two of the interviews I did with champions at the JJ Classic, Mark Hall and Fredy Stroker. If you listen carefully, you’ll even hear young Mr. Hall give us his top six college choices as it stands right now. We already know Stroker’s Minnesota Bound, no, not the show Minnesota Bound, which comes on right after the late local news here on Sunday. If you’re a hunter, you’d dig it. And I’ve got to give Andrew Hipps of InterMat a tip of the cap. This is the fifth year he’s run the JJ Classic. It’s not about setting rankings or being a huge mega tournament. Hipps wanted to create a tournament to honor is friend Justin “J.J.” Kukowski, who passed away from brain cancer in 2007. All proceeds from the event went to the Justin Kukowski Center, a cancer support center in the Twin Cities. Great cause. Kudos to everyone who showed up. STROKER INTERVIEW at 8:41 HALL INTERVIEW at 11:43 Now to the mats: First up, the NYAC’s not know as the NYAC anymore, at least not the tournament as it was renamed the Bill Farrell International in honor of the late, great Bill Farrell. I won’t fill your ears with stories about how Bill was this and that, because I only got to know the man very late in his life. Dan Gable once told a story about his famous quote, “Once you’v

Level2Sports Jeff "Peanut" Bowyer talks about the new event in Pennsylvania, Mat
Hey there folks, we're ready for season two of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast. The last few months, we’ve gone with more of an interview-style show, and that’s how I’m going to keep it for the time being. I’ll still provide some updates of the happenings in wrestling, but they’ll be on the Monday and Friday shows. If you’re new to the podcast, and you’re here by simply hitting that play button, I’d encourage you to head over to mattalkonline.com/getshorttime to subscribe to the podcast with iTunes. It’s the easiest way to get this show with news, reviews, previews and interviews. Today we’ll talk with former James Madison head wrestling coach Jeff “Peanut” Bowyer, who’s the event director for the Matsplosion wrestling event coming to King of Prussia, Pennsylvania on Nov. 14-16. Before we get to Peanut -- yes, they still call him Peanut, we’ll run down a few happenings on the mats on Thursday, November 6. Three ranked teams were in action on the Division I level with two of them squaring off at McComb Fieldhouse in Edinboro, Pennsylvania. Former EWL rivals now in different conferences, it was 14th-ranked Pittsburgh upending 10th-ranked Edinboro 25-13. Dom Forys, a true freshman from North Allegheny, that’s the same high school as Jake Herbert, Ray Brinzer and Teague Moore – had a solid 6-0 win over 19th-ranked Korey Mines at 125. Edinboro would take the lead after a fall by A.J. Schopp anda major decision by Mitchell Port. Pittsburgh’s Edgar Bright didn’t step to the mat at 141. The Panthers were also without All-American Tyler Wilps at 174. Edinboro wrestled without All-American David Habat and freshman heavyweight Billy Miller. The key match down the stretch came at 184 pounds where fifth-ranked Max Thomusseit defeated 10th-ranked Vic Avery 10-5. Heading into heavyweight down 19-13, Edinboro needed a fall from Warren Bosch to send the dual to criteria. Bosch jumped out early on John Rizzo and while he was trying to turn late in the second period, Rizzo reversed Bosch to his back and quickly settled in for the fall to cement the upset. At Grace Hall in Bethlehem, Pa. 15th-ranked Lehigh had a vastly different look in a 24-9 win over Hofstra. Four new faces won matches, including true freshman Dylan Milonas at 157, Central Florida transfer Santiago Martinez at 165, Cornell transfer Marshall Peppelman at 174 and true freshman Scotty Parker at 125 – Shout out to R.P. Norley and those Pennridge Rams. At 184, Nathaniel Brown looked strong coming off his redshirt year, teching Jermaine John in the second period. Lehigh will face Penn State at Rec Hall on Sunday. Hofstra falls to 1-1. In Division II, 16th-ranked Upper Iowa rolled past Truman and NAIA Waldorf. Also in the NAIA, Central Baptist topped Arkansas Baptist 33-18. Now we’ll talk MATSPLOSION with the Executive Vice President of Level2Sports, Peanut Bowyer. Find more about it at <a href="http://www.matsplosion.com" rel=

Recapping up the kickoff weekend for the 2013-14 college wrestling season – Shor
We’ve got no guest on Short Time tonight, but we’ve got a lot of news from the kickoff weekend for most of the college wrestling programs around the country. Granted, the women and California junior colleges have been wrestling prior to this weekend, so we’re not trying to slight them, but with the All-Star Classic, some duals and some opens, here’s a quick rundown of the weekend’s happenings. The NWCA All-Star Classic came and went in Philadelphia on Saturday at the Palestra. Unfortunately, a lot of the chatter seems to be floating around the nation’s best wrestler who didn’t compete – Ohio State’s Logan Stieber. Stieber weighed in but wasn’t cleared by his doc, so there was no match. Some out there want to chastise this for not being reported up to their standards. Well guess what folks, when that’s all the information you’re given, that’s all you have to deal with. If you think anyone of us has any type of pull with a medical professional for a college athlete, I’d implore you to read Mark Palmer’s post on themat.com’s college forum, which explains why many of wrestling’s “newsy” injuries aren’t covered like the major college sports. Unfortunately, that’s the way it works. I only found out moments before the exhibition matches started and my responsibilities with Fox College Sports for the television production prevented me from issuing a release from the NWCA. If you want to make a big deal out of it, that’s your prerogative. Spare me the “bad for the sport” angle. Now, with matches that did happen, we saw two defending champs go down as Mike McMullan of Northwestern beat Nick Gwiazdowski from N.C. State at heavyweight and Minnesota’s Scott Schiller beat Missouri’s J’Den Cox in overtime. It’s going to be tricky to use the Cox-Schiller match for ranking purposes, because the match did include a situation where the experimental rule was used. That experimental rule was where if the wrestlers go out of bounds while the top man is in control, the top man has the option to put the bottom man in neutral without giving up an escape point. We’ll have to discuss how this works with TheOpenMat.com’s next set of individual rankings. The matches at the All-Star are not official and can’t be used for seeding at nationals, but some ranking services have still used the results for their respective rankings. If it was wrestled under the same rules we’d see in March, then sure, use it, but Cox might end up staying No. 1 simply because this experimental rule did show up in the bout. Alex Dieringer looked good moving up to a new weight class. He stuffed Virginia’s Nick Sulzer at 165 4-2. Other winners were Missouri’s Alan Waters, Edinboro’s A.J. Schopp, Northwestern’s Jason Tsirtisis, Nebraska’s James Green and Robert Kokesh, and Cornell’s Gabe Dean. Most exciting showcase match was Virginia Tech’s Devin Carter rallying to beat Penn’s C.J. Cobb 17-11. Both wrestlers are originally from New Jersey, although Carter moved to Virgin

Former Boston U. coach Carl Adams breaks down his newest book – Short Time Ep. 1
Carl Adams spent 41 years as a wrestling coach. As college practices started up on October 10, it would be the first time in over four decades Adams wasn't instructing young athletes on the wrestling mats.

Tournament directors David Barker & Sara Koenig talk about the mind-blowing grow
In 1999, Morehead High School wrestling coach David Barker ran the Morehead Booster Club wrestling tournament in the border town of Eden, North Carolina. In 2000, the tournament became the Super 32 Challenge with the idea of bringing the top North Carolina high school wrestlers to one tournament. Initially drawing wrestlers from Virginia and North Carolina, the Super 32 has grown into the toughest preseason tournament in the country, if not, one of the toughest high school events in the nation regardless of season and style. On Episode 113 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we talk with tournament co-directors David Barker and Sara Koenig as they explain the evolution of the tournament, some key points in the event's history and what to look for when the 2014 event kicks off on November 1 in Greensboro, N.C.

New Arizona State assistant coach Chris Pendleton comes north and joins us in studio for Episode 110 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast. Pendleton was in town following up on some recruiting, and of course, NCAA rules prohibit coaches from discussing any recruits with the media (or anyone else really) until they sign a letter of intent. So Pendleton sat down, thawed out from a brisk October evening and talked about his path from Oklahoma State to Wyoming to sunny Arizona State. Pendleton talks about the dynamics of the coaching staff, how he's in Tempe to help build Arizona State into a national championship team. Pendleton also goes into detail about how being at Wyoming was a career changer and helped him become a better coach. He also talks about his most memorable matches and gives host Jason Bryant a little bit of ribbing about how his office is decorated.

Warren's been doing sketches on his website at www.gregwarrencomedy.com and he goes into the development of those bits, speaks on the influences from his own coaches and wrestling experiences and talks about some of the fun times he's had developing the Wesley "Wes" Wesley character over the years after it was conceived on Flowrestling.

Bellator MMA's Bubba Jenkins talks fighting and looks back on his wrestling care
Virginia Beach native Bubba Jenkins has had a tumultuous life leading into his NCAA Division I championship a few years back. After putting the wrestling shoes away (at least for the most part), he joined the world of MMA. Now he's rising up the ranks in Bellator MMA and is on a four-fight win streak after beating Thiago Meller at Bellator 126. On Episode 108 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we visit with "The Highlight Kid" to talk about his progression in MMA, life being a new father, his transition and his career goals. Jenkins also touches on his opinion of Ben Askren's snub by the UFC, where he's improved as a fighter, learning how to matchup with different fighting styles and how much he wants a rematch with LaRue Burley, who gave Jenkins his first MMA loss back in September of 2013 at Bellator 100. When we shifted the conversation to wrestling, Jenkins discussed the hurdles he faced in high school and dealing with bad choices, his recognition at a recent Arizona State football game, how much he roots for David Taylor and of course, his affinity for crab legs -- which he purchases unlike some other athletes. We also get some insight from Bubba on his best high school wins, his favorite college matches and who he'd want to fight in the world of MMA.

Candid conversation with new Franklin & Marshall assistant Nestor Taffur – Short
When Nestor Taffur walked off the mat in Oklahoma City after falling to Rutgers' Anthony Perrotti in the Round of 12, he walked off the mat as the very last competitive wrestler in the sport of wrestling for Boston University. The New Jersey native had proposed to his then-girlfriend earlier in the tournament, so it was a spectrum of emotion. As Taffur realized the program he'd given so much to was about to go away, he spent more and more time with his college coach, Carl Adams, and realized he wanted to be a coach. In Episode 107 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, the news is positive for Taffur, who recently joined the coaching staff at Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania under head head coach Mike Rogers. It's Taffur's first coaching job and it's at a place he nearly found himself competing for coming out of high school. Taffur talks about his excitement and anticipation to help the Diplomat wrestling program, which recently received a $5 million dollar endowment, preserving the wrestling program at the tiny private Liberal Arts school that's Division III in every other sport (save squash). Taffur also goes into detail on his feelings about the Boston University administration and how it stripped him and his teammate of having a school they could go back to, cheer on and potentially even donate. It's a retrospective about the past and a prospective of the future, chock full of candid responses and sound-off moments.

Austin Peay A.D. Derek van der Merwe talks the state of college athletics – Shor
During his tenure at Central Michigan as an Associate Athletics Director, Derek van der Merwe was the chairman of the NCAA Division I Wrestling Committee. He's seen a lot of changes of the past decade in the sport. Now, he's settled in as the Athletics Director at Austin Peay State University, or simply Austin Peay, a Division I school in Clarksville, Tenn. We'll talk with van der Merwe on the following topics and more on Episode 105 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast. First off, you've been at Austin Peay since June of 2013, how are you liking the digs down there in the Ohio Valley Conference? Let's go back in time a bit before we hit the main subject matter, which is the changing landscape of college athletics, you're originally from South Africa and came to the states as a youth. Started playing football late in high school and then walked on at CMU. As a walk-on athlete, what really drew you to college athletics? After your playing career ended, you went right into athletic administration. When did you know you wanted to follow that career path? So now you're at a school that doesn't have wrestling, but how actively are you keeping up with the Division I wrestling scene? So how many people have been pestering you to add wrestling at Austin Peay? I mean, you've already got a veteran wrestling broadcaster associated with the school in Van Stokes! Now on to the main topic of discussion. The Ed O'Bannon verdict came down and while it doesn't have the whole "blow up the system" type of reaction, there are still some things that will impact schools of various size. How do you think this outcome will impact schools like your alma mater at Central Michigan? What about schools like Austin Peay, which despite not having wrestling, is still going to figure out what your going to do. Is this decision going to be detrimental to programs many like to call "mid-majors?" You've also been a part of gender-equity reviews over the years. Are college sports fans missing the whole Title IX part of the outcome. Do you think full scholarship athletes should be paid in addition to what they're already getting? Do you think the partial scholarship athletes might be entitled to more cost-of-attendance types of stipends considering many of them are working jobs just to pay the difference in their tuition? So now we'll get to another topic and this kind of goes along with the little bit of prodding earlier. There's been a lot of growth at the enrollment-driven colleges at Division II and below, but very little movement with new programs in Division I. In a perfect world, what would have to happen for Austin Peay to start a wrestling program?

Talking documentaries and Foxcatcher with Nancy Schultz – Short Time Ep. 97
It's been 18 years since the tragic murder of wrestling hero Dave Schultz. On Episode 97 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we talk with Dave's widow Nancy on life since and her take on the upcoming Foxcatcher film. She's also working on her own documentary about Dave. Some of the topics discussed on Episode 97 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast with Nancy Schultz are: How did you discover wrestling and what made you fall in love with the sport? People in wrestling know the story and they're going to hear about it a lot more with the November release of Foxcatcher. In your words, how do you explain to people who might not be old enough to remember the happenings of that January day? Before we get into the nuances of the Foxcatcher movie, you've been working on a documentary for a number of years about Dave. What's the status of that project? What story are you trying to tell? I'm a relatively new parent, my daughter just turned two. I personally can't fathom being a parent by myself. How difficult was it for you to raise Xander (28) and Danny (25) during the years after the tragedy? From a historical standpoint, I was just getting into wrestling when this all happened. There's a generation of wrestling people who haven't been told about who Dave was. How important is it for the wrestling community to remember the legacy of not just Dave, but what the Schultz brothers meant and mean to wrestling? The Foxcatcher director Bennett Miller has hit some major home runs with his films Moneyball and Capote. Mostly from mark's point of view, but How were you approached? How were the conversations you had with him when this project was first pitched and throughout the process? Is there a bit of baited breath waiting for the theatrical release? How much interaction have you had with Mark Ruffalo, who plays Dave in the movie? Do the trailers give you chills? From what you've seen so far, does Steve Carell capture the essence of John duPont? It's been 18 years, how hard is it to be constantly reminded about the man who took Dave from us or do you have a different way of projecting it? The Dave Schultz Wrestling Club was one thing that preserved the legacy, the club is no longer active, but what are some of your favorite memories about the club? Who are some of the personalities you remember the most. I understand you have some Ray Brinzer stories ... but then again, who doesn't? Foxcatcher is essentially going to be from Mark's point of view. He's sometimes taken a combative stance some of the factions in wrestling. How often do you speak to Mark and do you talk to him about those sorts of topics?

The polarizing, energetic and most hated man in MMA: Chael Sonnen – Short Time E
Hate him or, well, hate him, Chael Sonnen is never at a loss for words. Even in the wake of his failed drug test and his subsequent retirement from the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Sonnen continues to embrace his role as the ultimate heel in the world of mixed martial arts. You might even find a list -- or 10 -- that rank Sonnen as one of the most hated figures in MMA history. The 1998 Division I All-American from the University of Oregon will talk about anything and everything and he does that with us on Episode 96 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast. What you will find out about Sonnen is his complete admiration for the current crop of wrestlers. He discusses staying up late to watch the World Championships online and he still closely follows the world of wrestling. He admits he's made mistakes and speaks openly on several topics. He's one of the most polarizing people in all of sports. Some question why people give him the time to promote himself. In this interview, Sonnen shows you why. He talks about MMA, amateur wrestling and even that stuff they call sports entertainment. We went pretty much unscripted with Sonnen, because you never know what this guy is going to say. We also answer some of your questions. Randy Hanson, an Alaska native wrestling at the University of Minnesota asks Who is the hardest working fighter you've ever trained with? You kind of touched on this some on your appearance on Talk is Jericho, but Bryce Villa is Davenport Iowa is completely sincere when he asks if you do, in fact, know how to say your own first name? David Marquez from Walla Walla, Washington: Ok Chael so I met you at Monday night raw in Portland and the next day I posted a picture of us on twitter and you started following me. So out of the millions that follow you I was the only person you followed. Well that only lasted a few minutes but anyways what was up with that?? Billy Smith in Seattle asks: How are you involved in bringing back The university of Oregon wrestling team or helping to start college programs in Oregon? Zack Panos in Hindsale, Illinois asks: What do you think about former Fox Sports 1 colleague Andy Roddick. He says you and Roddick are two of his favorite athletes out there. Dylan Ryan down in Durham, N.C., another college wrestler, he's down at Duke with Coach Glen Lanham. He asks Who are your favorite guys currently to watch cut promos, whether it be in professional wrestling or MMA? Cody Arnold, a regular contributor when we have Q&A's down in Tracy Minnesota asks a somewhat loaded question. Which former Oregon athlete was a better interview - yourself or Steve Prefontaine? Jimmy Jones in Mira Loma California asks is the American Gangster ever going to settle the score with the Axe Murderer? Is Bellator in the future or a return to the UFC? Rapid Fire Road Warriors or Demolition? Iron Sheik or General Adnan?

How did training camp go and what are your expectations for this year's squad. How much have you had a chance to work with coach Bruce Burnett? He got thrown back into the mix midway through this cycle. How have the preparations been the same and how have they been different compared to past World and Olympic Teams?

Is there ever going to be a "normal" leading into this time of year? How much does the acclimation camps help prepare you for the time differences and things of that nature? Many here in the United States regard you as the best pound-for-pound wrestler in the world. You believe you're the best in the world, I'd even say you know you're the best in the world, but who are some other wrestlers worldwide you've seen that are some of the best pound-for pound?

On August 22, Grand Canyon University announced Sioredas would become the second head wrestling coach in school history and he'll be leading the Lopes into a new era as they prepare for Division I competition.

What are some of the unique things Grand Canyon brings to the college wrestling landscape. We're talking about a for-profit school. What did you learn as an assistant under Heath Eslinger and Steve Martin? The culture at UTC is something the staff spoke highly of, what type of culture are you going to try to bring to Grand Canyon? What's it going to be like to recruit in an environment where athletes still know there's three more years before they'll be Division I eligible? What's it going to be like to recruit in an environment where Zeke Jones has just come into town over at Arizona State and has already gotten busy with recruiting? You'll have three years to compete with the NCWA. How much do you know about that system? Follow Jon Sioredas on Twitter @JonSioredas

MIT grad and founder of WrestlingStories.org Sam Shames- Short Time Ep. 93
Sam Shames recently wrapped up his career at MIT as a four-time All-American at the NCWA level. Despite MIT dropping wrestling to club status prior to his arrival on campus, Shames wrestled four years for coach Tom Layte. He's now using his degree in Material Science and Engineering to launch a start-up company with a few other MTI grads. Shames is also working on a project called Wrestling Stories, a collection of personal statements about the importance of wrestling and how it's shaped people's lives. Hear the answers to these questions and more with Sam Shames on Episode 93 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast. How did you first discover wrestling and what did you like about it? Graduated from MIT with a degree in Material Science and Engineering. What the heck is that?! You were an NHSCA All-American in high school. What other schools were giving you a look? You got a chance to wrestle in the NWCA All-Star Classic as one of the exhibition bouts a few years ago. What was that experience like? As a senior, you ended up having a wild match with Ryan Diehl, who was a Division I recruit for Maryland but ended up at Liberty. Even though you lost the match, was that type of bout a match that gives even more legitimacy to the teams and athletes within the NCWA? Jaes Jones is another guy people might remember, he was a champ in Fargo at the Cadet level from Utah and he ended up at MIT. Do you ever have conversations with your teammates about other schools they might have wanted to compete at had they not gone to MIT? Now you're working on a project called Wrestling Stories where you collect testimonials and personal statements from people who have been involved in wrestling. Where did this idea come from? Who are some of your favorite Wrestling Stories you've been able to get thus far? What is the main reason behind developing Wrestling Stories? How has the response been so far?

Talking California Community College wrestling with Sac City coach Dave Pacheco
Sacramento City College coach Dave Pacheco has spent almost 30 years as the head coach at the California community college. As college wrestling season looms for the 20 junior college programs in California, it's time for a refresher on one of the most unique wrestling divisions in the country. A product of the California Community College system before finishing his career at Idaho State, Pacheco has put dozens upon dozens of wrestlers into four-year programs around the country.

You can now enter more than 10 wrestlers into the postseason.. Where did that concept evolve? There's some real quality coaches in the league, what's one thing people might not know about some of your fellow coaches. There have been Olympians in the CACC.

New Army head wrestling coach Kevin Ward – Short Time Ep. 91
A native of Tennessee and graduate of Oklahoma State University, Kevin Ward helped take Division II Ouachita Baptist from new program to national power. In 2014, he coached Ouachita Baptist to a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Division II Championships and was named the Division II coach of the year in just the program's fourth year. Now Ward is heading east to take over as the head coach at Army. On Episode 91 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Kevin Ward answers these questions and more: You're originally from Tennessee, how difficult was it for you to get exposure to the top programs? It's not very often a coach moves from the Division II ranks to the Division I ranks. What are some things you feel make you a guy who can maybe change the culture when it comes to hiring coaches? Ouachita Baptist was your first head coaching job on the college level and you built a program into a force in Division II and you did it without transfers. How much work goes into building a team to win quickly without relying on the quick fix. We had Kerry Regner from Williams Baptist on a recent episode of Short Time (shorttimepodcast.com/68) and he talked about the impact Arkansas businessman Greg Hatcher has had on his program already and they haven't even wrestled their first match. How instrumental was Hatcher in helping get Ouachita Baptist on board to start wrestling? Sometimes finding a job is knowing some of the right people in the right places. For you, that was a bit different, you knew some people, but they weren't necessarily where you think they'd be. Explain your route to Army. There's a lot of proud wrestling history with the Armed Forces, but when it comes to one of the biggest sports rivalries regardless of Sport, Army-Navy ranks near the top. Navy has OWNED the series in wrestling ... and it's not been close. Navy leads the all-time series 48-5-5. Since 2001, Navy's won them all. NCAA titles and All-American finishes are great, but how much are you going to want to beat Navy? What are your thoughts on the NWCA Convention?

Prior to the annual NWCA Convention in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Executive Director Mike Moyer talked about the NWCA College Coaches Academy.

On Episode 85 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, Henry Cejudo answers these questions and more. You won two state championships in Arizona before moving to Colorado and winning two more. How hard was it for you to keep your focus on wrestling high school kids when you were traveling the world? You had a few battles with Russia's Besik Kudukhov. He was killed in a car accident late in 2013. What were some things that made Kudukov one of the best in the world? After 2008, you took a lot of time away from wrestling and you were contemplating where you were going to train towards 2012. Do you look back on that and say "Man, I wish I would have trained here instead of doing something else?" You were recently signed to the UFC. Your professional record according to Sherdog.com is 6-0. You'd had issues with your weight with Legacy. Do you feel you're ready for the UFC? Your first fight in the UFC at UFC 177 will be on August 30 when you take on Scott Jorgensen. He's a guy who came so close in college, finishing just short of All-American honors in the Round of 12 on three different occasions. You've won an Olympic gold, he was never an All-American. How dangerous do you think that might make him as an opponent? Fargo just finished up. You had some battles with guys like Spenser Mango, Brad Pataky and you won five titles from 2002-2004.

Short Time from Fargo: Phase II Champions Jimmy Kennedy & Nick Marable and annou
Short Time from Fargo rolls on as Jimmy Kennedy and Nick Marable earned berths on the U.S. Freestyle World Team and we talk with announcer Sandy Stevens, who has announced 43 of the 44 Junior National freestyle championships. Men's Freestyle - July 24 Best of Three Match 2 Two big four-point moves and one takedown was all that Jimmy Kennedy needed to beat 2012 Olympic bronze medalist Coleman Scott 10-0 in the second match at 61kg to claim a spot on the U.S. World Team for the first time. The match was slowed due to the cut above Scott's left eye. Kennedy won the Yasar Dogu back in February in Turkey. When Nick Marable last stepped on the raised platform in Fargo with a big match, he came away as Tennessee's first Cadet freestyle champion back in 2003. On Thursday, Marable stepped off the mat after his 8-2 victory over James Green as a member of the U.S. World Team. Marable's victory in the second match in the best-of-three series saw a lot of the trademark counter offense he's known for. He also showed proficiency in par terre, turning Green twice. Best of Three Match 1 Jimmy Kennedy converted a double leg takedown with 41 seconds remaining to break a 2-2 tie and top Coleman Scott 5-2 in the first match of a best-of-three series at 61kg. Scott jumped out to a 2-0 lead on a pair of pushouts before Kennedy got on the board with a pushout of his own on a double leg attack with 14 seconds remaining in the first. Kennedy tied the score at 2-2 with a second pushout from a double leg attempt and went ahead with 41 to go with another double attempt. A late attack by Scott drew ooohs from the crowd, but Scott couldn't get a third supporting point down to gain control. He challenged and lost, giving Kennedy the fifth point. Action as a little slower at 70kg as Nick Marable topped James Green 2-1 in the first match of the best-of-three series. Green took the lead 1-0 with a minute to go in the first after scoring a caution point after Marable was unable to score after being put on the shot clock. In the second, Marable initiated a halfshot, getting Green to bite and counter with a shot of his own. Marable battled the position and got the go-behind for the takedown and the 2-1 lead, which held for the victory.

Short Time from Fargo: Phase II Greco & Juniors – Short Time Ep. 81
There was a lot to take in on Tuesday at the Fargodome in Fargo, North Dakota. We had Greco-Roman Phase II World Team Trials, Junior Greco-Roman Finals and Junior Women’s freestyle finals. Tuesday’s the craziest day here in Fargo, so sit back, relax and take your time, because it’s time for another Fargo Update coming up NOW on the Short Time Wrestling Podcast. LET’S START BY GETTING INTO ALL OF THIS STUFF The Army's Justin Lester made his seventh U.S. World Team with two straight victories over Pat Smith of the Minnesota Storm in the Phase II Trials at 71kg. Lester, a World bronze medalist in 2006 and 2007, made things look easy in the first match of the best-of-three series, teching Smith 9-0 in 54 seconds. The second time around, it was a bit more of a battle as Lester got past Smith 2-1. Smith took the early lead with a pushout, but Lester matched him with a pushout of his own to effectively take the lead. Smith tried pushing the pace, but Lester tacked on a pushout with 32 seconds remaining to cement his lead and join the team heading to Uzbekistan in September. Joe Rau, who won a Junior Greco-Roman title for Illinois back in 2009, earned a spot on the U.S. World Team at 80kg after defeating 2012 Olympian Ben Provisor in two straight matches. Rau beat Provisor in the first match 1-0 with the decisive point coming on Provisor's second caution. In the second match, Rau, wrestling for the Minnesota Storm, used a pushout from a front headlock position in the first period. It would be the only point of the match as Rau would again win 1-0. It's Rau's second World Team berth of the summer. He recently competed at the World University Championships in Hungary at 85kg. JUNIOR GRECO California's Randon Miranda started out the night with a 14-4 techincal fall victory over Connecticut's Zack Murillo at 100 pounds. Miranda captured the second leg of the Junior Triple Crown. He won the Folkstyle Nationals earlier this year. Miranda led from start to finish, but got in trouble early after Murillo stepped over and put Miranda to his back. Miranda built a 7-2 lead until Murillo stepped over again, but Miranda avoided trouble and then scored three more takedowns to ice the victory. Arizona's Danny Vega won the state's ninth overall Junior Greco-Roman title with a 7-2 victory over Todd Small of Georgia at 106. At the Cadet level, Vega as second in Greco last year and won a freestyle championship. Like Miranda, he's still eligible to win the Triple Crown after winning Folkstyle Nationals earlier this year. Idaho's Dorian Sapien took home the title at 113 pounds with a 12-6 victory over Kansas' Corbin Nirschl. Sapien fell behind early, but hit a big four-point armspin that changed the pace of the match. Sapien won Idaho's ninth all-time Junior Greco-Roman title. Skyler Petry's stellar summer continued as the Minnesota native topped New Jersey's Anthony Cefolo 2-1 a

Keeley built a 7-0 lead early in the match after scoring a pushout, a takedown and consecutive two-point gutwrenches. McKee started to close the gap and got within 8-7 before Keeley hit a beautiful front headlock throw for four points to essentially put the match out of reach. California's Nicolas Aguilar captured the championship at 94 pounds beating Brandon Meikel of Utah 7-2. Aguilar built a comfortable 4-0 lead in the early part of the first period with a takedown and a gutwrench. Meikel converted a bodylock for a takedown to cut the lead in half. Meikel again went on the offensive, trying to hit an armspin in the second period, but Aguilar stuffed the attempt and came out on top for the takedown to extend his lead to 6-2. A late pushout would put the final score at 7-2. Arizona crowned its 11th Cadet Greco-Roman champion as Roman Bravo-Young finished off a headlock at 4:56 to pin Michigan's Dominic Lajoie at 100 pounds. Bravo-Young had four technical falls and two falls during his championship performance. Ian Timmons became the second champion in Cadet Greco-Roman from Nevada. Timmons pinned Drew West of Iowa at 3:35 to win gold at 106 pounds. West got up 5-0 on a four-point throw from the headpinch position. He would add an appreciation point on a lift attempt moments later. Timmons answered by countering a West throw

Logan Davis, head coach at Division III Southern Virginia University – Short Tim
For the last 15 years, the wrestling program at Southern Virginia University in Buena Vista, Virginia has competed in relative obscurity. While a competitive program in the National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NCWA), the Knights athletic program was looking for an identity. The school, which was in the NAIA, kept wrestling on its listing of sports, but it was still a club program. SVU was also affiliated with the U.S. Collegiate Athletic Association, which was formerly known as the U.S. Small College Athletic Association. The team would show up at open tournaments and have sporadic duals, but the role of the program in the varsity landscape was still uncertain. On July 8, Southern Virginia University elevated its club wrestling program to varsity status. Logan Davis, a 2009 graduate of SVU, took over the program two years ago after the previous coach was fired and the then Athletic Director was ready to axe the sport from the school's club offerings. Davis stepped up to keep the program alive. Southern Virginia cleared a few more hurdles and applied for NCAA membership and they were granted provisional membership. That set the stage for a new AD to come in and bring the program to a fully-supported athletic option at the varsity level. On Episode 77 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we talk with Logan Davis, who is now taking a job that was once a role to keep a club sport alive, to coaching at the NCAA Division III ranks. Some of the topics Davis talks about with Southern Virginia University's program in this episode of Short Time are: Saving the wrestling club. The impact Ferrum College's program had on Southern Virginia elevating the program. Thoughts on potential new programs in Virginia at the Division III level. The school's theology, which embraces the LDS (Mormon) values. Recruiting kids at a small, private, niche school. Timeline for postseason competition and scheduling. What he and his program developed by competing with the NCWA and fledgling wrestling support from the USCAA. Short Time is sponsored by FlipsWrestling.

Outspoken Greco-Roman Wrestling World Teamer Robby Smith – Short Time Ep. 76
Robby Smith was a three-time high school placewinner out of the rugged one-class California state wrestling championships. On the high school mats, Smith was strong, but he thrived in freestyle and Greco-Roman, winning USA Wrestling national championships in both styles. In 2005 after graduating from San Ramon High School, Smith doubled up, winning Junior National titles in both freestyle and Greco-Roman. For Smith, high school was the offseason with his focus squarely on being a national champion. After winning the U.S. Greco-Roman Trials in June in Daytona Beach, Florida, Smith earned the right to represent the United States at the World Championships for the second year in a row. On Episode 76 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, we catch up with the larger-than-life personality that is Robby Smith. He touches on a number of topics, but is very outspoken on what the U.S. and the youth coaches around the country specifically need to do to create a greater appreciation for Greco-Roman wrestling. Smith talks about how a chance question to his dad, who never wrestled, put him on the wrestling mats for the first time, why he chose Greco-Roman wrestling instead of freestyle, going through the recruiting process when he'd never won a high school state championship. One of Smith's big talking points was about the importance of all three styles of wrestling. He headed to Northern Michigan after high school, but quickly wound up fighting for an opportunity at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs. Nine years later, he's the old guy at the OTC and he's not even 30 yet. Other topics discussed with Robby Smith include: His relationship with his coaches, including Momir Petkovic and Mark Halvorson. The foundation of the Community Youth Center in Concord, California. Answering a fan-submitted question about "Why is Greco boring?" His emerging rock star status in Iran at the Greco-Roman World Cup. What wrestling can do for people. His move to heavyweight from 96kg. His favorite food spot in Colorado, which is The Keg in Manitou Springs. And of course, his beard. Follow Robby on Twitter @rtdsmith. To follow the Greco-Roman wrestlers who threw in their questions, @Biseks_Stache and @PeteKJr, they'd probably appreciate it, too.

BTN Student U Broadcaster & Michigan State alum Eric Olanowski – Short Time Ep.
Coming out of Kellam High School in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Eric Olanowski was set to head to wrestle for Delaware State. As the NHSCA Senior National Champion at 112 pounds, he wasn't getting too many Division I offers and then-coach Earl Walker was ready to give him a shot. Then Walker was unceremoniously ousted at Delaware State, the program was later dropped and Olanowski settled in East Lansing to wrestle for Tom Minkel at Michigan State. Olanowski was an NCAA qualifier at 125 pounds during his career, but now his wrestling days are over, Olanowski is talking wrestling pretty frequently as a color commentator for Big Ten Network Student U broadcasts. Olanowski talks about several topics that impacted his career on the mat, including dealing with being a small senior, going through the recruiting process, gaining and receiving advice from two brothers, one older and one younger, who both wrestled at the Division I level. He also offers some insight in what high school wrestlers look for when being recruited by coaches -- and the answer might be an obvious one, but it's not often talked about. He's looking forward to the upcoming season with BTN's Student U broadcasts and is excited about the prospects of Ohio State's championship aspirations and welcoming Rutgers and Maryland into the Big Ten.

Talking Title IX with Christina Hoff Sommers – Short Time Ep. 73
June 23 marked the 42nd anniversary of Title IX, an anti-discrimination law that's not only opened doors for women, but worked to eliminate discrimination in federally funded institutions nationwide. When applied to college athletics, Title IX is almost a dirty word. With three ways to comply with Title IX, schools often focus on prong one, commonly known as proportionality. While the other two prongs are allegedly equal for compliance, the Department of Education issued a clarification in 1996 calling proportionality a "safe harbor," meaning schools with similar ratios of male and female athletes to their student body would be viewed as compliant. In 2003, the Department issued another clarification, removing "safe harbor" from any prong, insisting all three prongs were equal with compliance. While the Department of Education points out there's nothing in the law that states cutting men's programs is required for compliance, schools have cut men's programs or cut both men's and women's programs in order to get their proportionality numbers in line with prong one. In this episode of Short Time, Christina Hoff Sommers talks Title IX. Sommers is currently a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, the brains behind the Factual Feminist and an outspoken critic of proportionality. She's also served on the national advisory board for the Independent Women's Forum. Sommers recently penned a piece called Title lX: How a Good Law Went Terribly Wrong on June 23, 2014 for TIME Magazine's website. You can read the story here. We talk with Sommers about how groups like the National Women's Law Center and the Women's Sports Foundation have taken women's rights with college athletics to a new level. That level is attacking colleges with proportionality ratios that are out of whack with their student enrollment, but ignoring the gender gap that continues to grow regarding enrollment at many of the same schools they give a failling grade. Sommers gives an alternative feminist viewpoint and gives some background on the growth of women's sports and how she hopes proportionality will be eliminated from Title IX compliance because it's not needed. It's probably something the activist groups don't like to hear coming from the feminist side of the table. More information on Christina Hoff Sommers Christina Hoff Sommers on Twitter @CHSommers

Miss Virginia USA Arielle Rosmarino, former wrestler – Short Time Ep. 71
A pageant queen ... on Short Time? Yes, Arielle Rosmarino is our guest on Episode 71 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast. Rosmarino was a recent contestant during the Miss USA Pageant held on Sunday, June 8 in Baton Rogue, Louisiana. For those watching, they might have been shocked at what sport Rosmarino chose to showcase that made her unique -- wrestling. So how does the Salem, Virginia native and reigning Miss Virginia USA incorporate wrestling? Easy, she was a wrestler at Glenvar High School. The 22-year-old Radford University graduate talks about how she got started in wrestling and what made wrestling so important to her through high school, college and still to this day. Unable to compete after her junior year due to chronic headaches, she stuck around the sport and eventually worked with the NCWA program at Radford, a small private school near Virginia Tech in Southwest Virginia. Rosmarino gives a lot of credit to her high school coach, a two-time state champion from Glenvar named Jamie Soltis, as well. Rosmarino does motivational speaking and a big part of it, as she puts it, is from the skills and lessons learned from wrestling. Some questions Arielle Rosmarino answered in Episode 71 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast were: There's sometimes a stigma about girls and women who wrestle and on the opposite side of the spectrum, there's a stigma about girls and women who do pageants. What misconceptions do you try to break down on both sides of that discussion? In your part of the state, wrestling is a pretty popular sport. How much support did you receive from the wrestling community in Southwest Virginia when you were crowned Miss Virginia USA? In the movie Whip It, Ellen Page played a role of a teenage pageant contestant who broke away and entered the world of roller derby. For girls who might have similar interests that involve any sport, what's some advice you can give those girls who like to get rough, but also like to dress up and still be "girly?" What advice do you have for parents of girls and young women who have daughters who might want to step into wrestling? What do you think about Virginia going to six classes? Can anyone dethrone Christiansburg? Follow Arielle Rosmarino on Twitter @realmissvausa Find out more about her at MissVirginiaUSA.com

Greco-Roman World Team Member Jordan Holm – Short Time Ep. 70
A two-time high school state champion while growing up in Minnesota, Jordan Holm was an up-and-coming talent not just on the college mats, but in Greco-Roman. While he's put a lot of the past behind him to make two straight U.S. World Teams in Greco-Roman, Holm still has to answer questions about his past and the battles he's been enduring to try to clear his name from a 2003 conviction that put him in prison. While Holm still fights the fight for vindication, he won his third U.S. Open championship back in April and earlier this month in Daytona Beach, beat Zac Nielsen in two straight matches to earn the right to represent the United States at the 2014 World Championships in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. A few of the questions Jordan Holm answers in Episode 70 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast are: You've started taking an active role in managing some things at the Minnesota Training Center. Explain what you're trying to do with the Minnesota Training Center and the innovations you're bringing to the club. You won your second-straight spot on the U.S. World Team beating another member of the Minnesota Storm, Zac Neilsen, in the finals in Daytona. What are the difficulties or advantages in wrestling someone who you train with regularly? Let's go back in time, and this is something that will always follow you. In 2003, you were convicted of a crime you to this day, insist you did not commit. This prompted your family to create freejordan.org, where letters and information was distributed to the public about your plight. The end result was you spent eight years in prison. This is obviously a situation you'll have to still answer questions about. How are you handling it all? How much did the loss in 2012 to Chas Betts in the best-of-three Olympic Trials finals sting and how much did that factor in to you continuing your wrestling career through the 2016 Olympic Cycle? You actually left the University of Northern Iowa to play a semester of Division III football with your brother, who was attending Division III Bethel at the time. Explain that scenario and why you decided to head to Bethel to play another sport, even just for a short time. And then there's our listener questions: An unnamed coach in Shoreview, Minnesota with "pinnaclewrestling" in their email address asks why is your hair so crazy and is there a chance you might shave it before Worlds? Griffin Parriott down in New Prague, Minnesota asks: What's the biggest diference when wrestling American opponents compared to wrestling foreign opponents. When do you plan on being done competing and will you coach once done? Mike Tschida in South Haven, Minnesota ... that's South Haven, with a population of 187 ... he asks with the great history of the Storm program, which wrestler from the past would you choose to emulate with respect to their wrestling style?

Teenager Hunter Gandee and his 40-mile trek for cerebral palsy – Short Time Ep.
Hunter Gandee is just days past completing the eighth grade. Already, the Temperanceville, Michigan resident is making headlines, but not about his wrestling ability, but about his recent 40-mile walk while carrying his seven-year-old brother Braden on his back. Gandee was making the walk to Ann Arbor's Bahna Wrestling Complex to raise awareness for his brother's condition, cerebral palsy. The "Cerebral Palsy Swagger" made national headlines and even drew the attention from that "other" wrestling group, the WWE. Gandee talks about how the idea started, the family's interest in wrestling, how much assistance the University of Michigan wrestling program offered and what he hopes to achieve with the Cerebral Palsy Swagger. What is cerebral palsy? According to the Mayo Clinic: Cerebral palsy is a disorder of movement, muscle tone or posture that is caused by an insult to the immature, developing brain, most often before birth. Signs and symptoms appear during infancy or preschool years. In general, cerebral palsy causes impaired movement associated with exaggerated reflexes, floppiness or rigidity of the limbs and trunk, abnormal posture, involuntary movements, unsteadiness of walking, or some combination of these. People with cerebral palsy may have difficulty with swallowing and commonly have eye muscle imbalance. People with cerebral palsy may have reduced range of motion at various joints of their bodies due to muscle stiffness. The effect of cerebral palsy on functional abilities varies greatly. Some people are able to walk while others aren't able to walk. Some people show normal to near normal intellectual function, but others may have intellectual disabilities. Epilepsy, blindness or deafness also may be present. People with cerebral palsy often have underlying developmental brain abnormalities. For more information about Gandee's mission on raising awareness for cerebral palsy, visit: cpswag.blog.com facebook.com/cerebralpalsyswagger @The_CP_Swagger Short Time also talks about some of the recent coaching changes across college wrestling and the upcoming FILA election.

U.S. World Team Member Brent Metcalf – Short Time Ep. 67
A three-time NCAA Division I All-American and two-time champion, Iowa alum Brent Metcalf was one of the most dominant forces in recent memory on the college mats.

What was it like coming through such a terrific program and how much of an influence did Roy Hall have in your development? Your older brother Chase was killed in a car accident back in 2005.

We've got a new national team coach and a great system of regional training centers. What do you think could be improved? Growing up, you weren't just a freestyler, you wrestled both freestyle and Greco-Roman. If there was a scenario where you didn't make a World Team, would you consider giving Greco a shot? Listener Questions AUDIO QUESTION from Jeff Zannetti in Edison, N.J. Dylan Ryan in Durham, N.C.: "Who are your favorite college wrestlers to watch" Oscar Brisceno in San Bernadino, CA: With your collegiate success and now freestyle success, do you believe our country should focus more on freestyle at the high school and college level to assure us better results at the Olympic level?

If not, do you plan on coaching? Follow Brent on Twitter @BHMetcalf Want to ask a guest a question for an upcoming episode of Short Time?

U.S. World Team Member Tony Ramos – Short Time Ep. 65
Tony Ramos is just months removed from winning an NCAA Division I championship at 133 pounds for the University of Iowa. The three-time All-American and two-time finalist wasn't even sure he was going to compete this season. But then while watching the U.S. Open in April, his fiancee talked him into competing. The end result was a spot on the 2014 U.S. Men's Freestyle World Team, which will compete at the World Championships in September in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Ramos talks about how he got started in wrestling, having another Iowa Hawkeye Brent Metcalf on the team with him and what he's going to have to do to prepare to be reach the podium at the World Championships. Ramos even answers YOUR questions. It's all coming up in Episode 65 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast, presented by FlipsWrestling.com Tony Ramos on the Web Tony Ramos on Twitter Some of the questions covered in this edition of Short Time are: What's your story with how you first got exposed to the sport and why you decided it was the sport for you? You had said in the post-tournament interview you weren't sure you were even going to compete. You were considering taking the year off. You said it was your fiancee who kinda put the idea into your head. Explain that conversation and what followed. After the finals, I talked with Izzy Martinez. He's been talking you up since you were in middle school and he'd said there were always doubters. First, what has your relationship with Izzy been like throughout the years and why do you think people have been doubting you? Your junior year, you pinned Jordan Conaway in the Iowa Penn State dual. That's the loudest I've ever heard any arena in all my years of covering a variety of sports. Describe that moment. Listener Questions Hans Rockwell in Boardman, Oregon: He asks "If you could wrestle anyone who was not a wrestler and time isn't a factor, who would it be and why?" Cody Arnold in Tracy, Minn asks: It seems like there was talk about you being a small 133-pounder and Matt McDonough was a big 125. Was a change in weights ever discussed? Once he graduated, did you consider the move down to 125 or had you grown out of the weight?

Short Time Ep. 63: Indy 500 rookie driver & wrestler Sage Karam
Sage Karam has two loves -- wrestling and racing. While his senior year on the mats at traditionally tough Nazareth Area (Pa.) High School didn't go as he wanted, Karam accomplished the first goal in his dream, racing at the Indianapolis 500. The 19-year-old didn't just race at the historic Brickyard, he finished ninth. Normally not happy with a ninth-place finish, Karam was satisfied because it was his first Indy 500, a race he'd dreamed about winning since he first attended the race 11 years ago. Karam talks about what it was like to go through the qualifying process, having a makeshift senior prom in the garage at the track and what his overall experience at the Indy 500 was like. Karam has a bright future ahead of him on the track and he breaks it all down in episode 63 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast. Even country music icon Reba McIntyre thinks so!

Short Time Podcast: 11/11/13 – Episode 1
By Jason Bryant Editor, Amateur Wrestling News For the last eight college wrestling seasons, results have become part of my nightly routine. Back in the days working for the NWCA prior to the Optimal Performance Calculator and its results component, I'd be up into the wee hours of the morning entering individual match results from around the country. I'd often joke with friends about entering some random dual between two schools many wrestling fans likely haven't heard of. With the need for individual data entry gone, I decided to launch a nightly college scoreboard, linking up all the results I could find (even those not reported in a timely fashion to the NWCA). I started this at Wrestling 411, and then after that project ceased to exist, I brought it to TheMat.com. Now starting my second college wrestling season as an editor here at AWN, I decided there had to be some way to give everyone a quick notebook of what happened during the weekend's events. Rather than trying to pilfer through dozens of press releases and re-writing what might already be out there on the boards, why not actually discuss what went on for those to "press play." So as time permits, I'll be producing a frequent podcast series with just a few minutes of information you can listen to in the morning or during your day to fill you in on some of the more relevant happenings from that night or the night before. They're short, hence the name "short time." Between our original content columns and blogs, Duals of the Week and AWN Previews, you'll be up-to-speed on the world of college wrestling more than ever. You can listen directly on this page or subscribe via iTunes by clicking here.

USA Wrestling Conference Call – February 28, 2013
AUDIO FILE IS AT THE BOTTOM What: A USA Wrestling Teleconference to update media on what the sport is doing to keep its spot on the Olympic Games program. Who: 2012 Olympic Bronze Medalist Coleman Scott, who recently returned from the Freestyle World Cup in Iran, featuring the 10 top wrestling countries in the world, and saw first-hand the passion and excellence of the sport in the first international competition after the bad news earlier in the month from the IOC. Rich Bender, Executive Director of USA Wrestling, who spent the week in Tehran, helping build a coalition of countries to challenge this IOC recommendation. Jim Scherr, former CEO of the U.S. Olympic Committee and newly- appointed FILA Bureau member, who will help spearhead the International wrestling federation’s efforts to keep wrestling in the Olympics. He has just returned from Lausanne, Switzerland, headquarters of FILA. He’s currently the commissioner of the National Collegiate Hockey Conference. Background: The Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee recommended at its meeting Feb. 12, 2013, in Lausanne, Switzerland, to not include the sport of wrestling in the program for the 2020 Olympic Games and beyond. It is a recommendation only at this time. · Two dates are vitally important to reverse this recommendation. Between May 24-27 in St. Petersburg, Russia, the Executive Board will hear presentations from the following sports: baseball/softball, karate, roller sports, squash, sport climbing, wakeboard, wrestling and wushu. Up to three of those sports will move forward for final consideration at the General Session of the IOC in September. · In its meeting Sept. 4-7 in Buenos, Aires, Argentina, the 114-member IOC General Session will have two votes. The first is to accept or reject the Executive Board’s recommendation to drop wrestling from the Games. If that’s upheld, the IOC members will then vote to select one of the three sports forwarded by the Executive Board for inclusion on the Olympic Program in 2020.
