It\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019t 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 \u2013 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\u2019m Jason Bryant. Limited night in duals, so we\u2019ll just throw out what we\u2019ve got before it gets too late and my kids wake back up. My wife\u2019s still in China, which means I\u2019m still in survival mode. I love my kids, but you really do lose all sense of personal time when you\u2019re watching them solo. Tonight, it was the Little Mermaid Live. Under the Sea, take it from me \u2026 there\u2019s 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\u2019ll give you my Minnesota beer of the night. Tonight, it\u2019s Pixel Bot, a New England IPA that\u2019s 7.6% ABV, but a smooth 11 IBUs. If you don\u2019t know what that means, it means its not bitter and has a bit of a kick. It\u2019s by Tin Whiskers Brewing Company in St. Paul. Dual Meets: It was a men\u2019s-women\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s the extent of Tuesday\u2019s scores. \xa0PROMO CODE WARNING: I posted on Twitter today about the number of wrestling podcasts currently out in the wild.

From the DWN: The first NWCA Division I Coaches Poll of the regular season was released on Tuesday, with the only real movement happening as a result of Virginia Tech\u2019s 29-10 win over Missouri. The Hokies jumped up five spots to No. 11, while Missouri slid four spots from No. 9 to No. 13. The NJCAA rankings came out and Western Wyoming comes in as the No. 1 team to start the year. The Mustangs are followed by NIACC, Clackamas, Harper and Ellsworth. Expect traditional powers Northeastern Oklahoma A&M and Iowa Central to creep up there as the season moves on. Johnson & Wales swept the New England Wrestling Association awards this week as Gabriel McDaniel was named Wrestler of the Week, while Hayden Brown was Rookie of the Week. Both won titles at the Ithaca Invitational \u2013 McDaniel at 141, Brown at 133. McDaniel was also named com Wrestler of the Week as well. The Air Force Academy\u2019s Randy Meneweather was named Co-Big 12 Wrestler of the Week after winning the Cowboy Open going 5-0 with four falls at 165 pounds in the Elite Division. He shares the award with Fresno State\u2019s Jacob Wright, who went 3-0 in duals in San Diego, which is Spanish \u2026 nevermind. Virginia Tech\u2019s B.C. \u201cI\u2019m seriously named after a headache powder\u201d LaPrade was named ACC Wrestler of the Week. He wrestled at New Kent in Virginia, which is in my home district, the Bay Rivers. One time, I was walking into a dual at Tabb High School a few days before the Virginia Duals. B.C.\u2019s dad comes up to me and goes \u201cDidn\u2019t I meet you in Fargo?\u201d I said you have to be more specific. He said \u201cIt was at the Turf.\u201d I say again, sir, you have to be more specific. Turf reference #2 this year. Ohio State\u2019s Luke Pletcher and Purdue\u2019s Kendall Coleman were Big Ten Co-Wrestlers of the Week. Both won the Michigan State Open. Pletcher\u2019s title included a win over No. 1 Dom Demas of Oklahoma, while Coleman slayed three ranked foes en route to the title. The Predicament released Inside The Rivalry, Chapter 7, Part 3, which is never confused with Leonard Part 6 \u2013 although I don\u2019t think we can reference films like that anymore. Anyway, this feature focuses on Mario Galanakis. It\u2019s been a pretty good series to read. com has broken down the individual schedule for two-time NCAA champion Spencer Lee. I mean, this might be the first time I\u2019ve seen something like this posted, ever. Keeping with that Iowa theme, Cody Goodwin of the Des Moines Register checks in with his Week 1 Redshirt Report. Cody won last year\u2019s NWMA Journalist of the Year Award. I still have to send him his mug. North Carolina made a coaching move, adding Jordan Oliver to the staff as a volunteer assistant and also elevating Tony Ramos to Associate Head Coach. Oliver\u2019s move to Carolina was confirmed a bit ago, but him joining the staff officially is news to some. Transition Wrestling, an outfit aimed at promoting women\u2019s college wrestling, released its weekend recap. I\u2019ll be leaning more on what Gabby Lord-Klein is doing with Transition Wrestling to keep up with the women\u2019s scores since I won\u2019t be tracking down things for my now-retired college wrestling scoreboard. Of note there, Texas Wesleyan earned its first ever women\u2019s college dual win, defeating Schreiner 24-14. I\u2019ll do a better job at getting the women\u2019s scores, in the Shots score section as the season moves on. The Times of India, which if you don\u2019t know, produces some pretty wild stories about what\u2019s going on in Indian wrestling, features the 2020 medal hopes, Vinesh Phogat and Bajrang Punia. The story goes into the backstory of the Phogats, which was highlighted in the movie Dangal. Five Point Move outlines the rise of Spencer Woods of the Army\u2019s World Class Athlete Program as he won his first senior-level gold medal in Greco-Roman in Sweden over the weekend. Yahoo reports Dwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson will portray Mark Kerr in an upcoming film. Kerr, known widely as a pioneer in MMA, was a four-time NCAA qualifier at Syracuse and a 1992 NCAA champion. HBO did a documentary on Kerr in 2002 called The Smashing Machine. Kerr was 10th at the 1994 World Championships at 100kg in Istanbul in men\u2019s freestyle. Flo also touched on Willie Saylor leaving the company. It\u2019s on the FRL podcast feed, which is free, however the link to the show is part of the Flo Pro, and as I said in a previous show, the show and newsletter doesn\u2019t link to content behind paywalls. I\u2019m an equal opportunity denier as well. On The Network Episode 55 of the #PackMentality Pop-Ins Podcast, the only school-hosted team show on the Mat Talk Podcast Network gets an NC State recap as well as some insight from Kellen Devlin, who won The Battle at The Citadel over the weekend.

On the Docket for November 6: West Virginia Tech from the NAIA will take on Division II West Liberty as the Danny Irwin era begins at West Liberty. Tangent Warning: Hopefully the kids who got left stranded by whatever the hell Wheeling University, formerly Wheeling Jesuit, all found homes to compete this year. Irwin led Wheeling Jesuit to a second place finish at last year\u2019s Division II championship before the wheels on the bus came falling off and the school slashed tons of academic and athletic programs \u2013 but never officially announced it. Their wrestling room was left in literal shambles. Sean Doyle and Danny Irwin and staff had a good thing going there. There\u2019s something to be said about poor leadership at a school, with a CC: to our friends down at St. Olaf. Fontbonne, a new Division III program in Missouri, will wrestle its first dual in school history as it heads north to Lincoln, Neb., to take on Nebraska Wesleyan. Division II Davenport heads across Michigan to take on Division III Alma. Graceland takes on Central Methodist in the NAIA school\u2019s first dual in school history, while down in North Carolina, the Nick Soto era begins at St. Andrews as the NAIA Knights head to Belmont Abbey to take on the Division II Crusaders. California: Three duals out west as Chabot hosts Fresno City, Cerritos hosts Palomar and Santa Ana will host Rio Hondo, which is one of two Roadrunners that I know of in college wrestling. The other is at CSU Bakersfield. Meep Meep! I\u2019d love to do more with the NJCAA but the schedule compilation is just too brutal. The Mat Talk Online Daily Newsletter is sponsored by Resilite.
