It was Monday. It didn\u2019t snow. That\u2019s 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\u2019m Jason Bryant. Oh, I bought a standing desk today. I\u2019ll put it in the office when that finally gets done. Ever seen The Money Pit? Yeah, two weeks.\xa0 Dual Meets:\xa0 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\u2019t 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\u2019s rankings.\xa0 Also finally expect some shake-ups in the NWCA Division I Wrestling Coaches Poll this week as we\u2019ve finally got some duals to shake out who\u2019s legit and who\u2019s just tough on paper.\xa0 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 \u201cscore\u201d 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?\xa0\xa0 International Wrestling The U.S. finished second to Japan, losing 7-3 at the Women\u2019s 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\u2019s seeing amazing growth in women\u2019s wrestling and we currently have three dynamic athletes leading the charge on the senior level.\xa0 Bill Farrell happened. Want to know what happened? It\u2019s covered everywhere, so I don\u2019t need to rehash it here. By the way, literally everything in the Short Time Shots is actually covered by a story that\u2019s 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.\xa0 GET A FREE MONTH OF PODCAST HOSTING WITH LIBSYN There are approximately 66 active wrestling podcasts out there, with 20 of them on the Mat Talk Podcast Network.

TAKEDOWN CANCER It's time again to think about hosting a TakeDown Cancer event at one of your home meets, tournaments or youth events. TakeDown Cancer raises money for the Randy Shaver Cancer Research and Community Fund where over 91 percent of all money goes directly to research doctors and other cancer related projects. TakeDown Cancer is an all volunteer group with no paid salaries. TakeDown Cancer has raised almost $250,000. Please consider hosting an event. Go to www.takedowncancer.org for information or contact Mark Neu at mneu@shakopee.k12.mn.usLet\u2019s TakeDown Cancer! - No one fights alone! Notables on the Docket for November 19: Tuesday is a typical dual meet day for the Ohio Athletic Conference and this Tuesday is no different as four duals take place there, all in Division III. Heidelberg, which you should know their nickname by now, takes on the Blue Streaks of John Carroll, Muskingum, they\u2019re the Muskies, face Mount Union, which are the Purple Raiders, the Yellow Jackets of Baldwin Wallace, now sans hyphen, heads to Ohio Northern to face the Polar Bears, because that\u2019s what you think of when you think of Ohio. Lastly, Otterbein, which is the more traditional Cardinals, will face the Fighting Quakers of Wilmington.\xa0 In the NAIA, Graceland will face Baker, while Simpson (Calif.) will take on Lassen of the California Community Colleges. That\u2019ll be the last dual officially scheduled for the teams out in the California Community College system as the state dual meet championship gets underway this weekend.\xa0\xa0 FROM THE DWN: Andy Hamilton of Trackwrestling follows up the competition from the Bill Farrell Memorial with a Writing Time feature on who the man Bill Farrell was and his unique background and history in wrestling and sporting goods.\xa0 Tom Housenick of The Morning Call in Allentown, Pennsylvania writes about the loss of a Nazareth wrestling family\u2019s home in a fire. A GoFundMe has been set up to help the family of DeShawn Farber, with putting their life back together after losing pretty much everything.\xa0 Just about every wrestling and MMA site has been covering this story, but two-time NCAA champion, four-time All-American and 2008 Olympian Ben Askren announced he was retiring from MMA today on Ariel Helwani\u2019s MMA show.\xa0 We just had a Greco-Roman event, which means Tim Hands from FivePointMove.com is on the case. Actually, it\u2019s Monday, so that means Tim Hands from FivePointMove is on the case with his Monday Roundup, which he posts every Monday, as the name implies. I had this in Monday morning\u2019s Daily Wrestling News, but it bears repeating here on the show, since TheMat.com also posted the announcement from the Sparta Independent that Sussex County Community College will be adding wrestling. They\u2019ve hired former Centenary wrestler Chris Burdge as the first head coach. Burdge was a four-time Division III All-American from 2011-2014. Keeping things Jersey, NCAA champions Nick Suriano and Anthony Ashnault of Rutgers will be part of NCAA Collegiate National Champions day in Washington D.C. In other words, they get to go to the White House. You may now start your banter about the nation\u2019s politics, but do that on your own time - I don\u2019t care.\xa0 Wartburg will honor the late Kenny Anderson, a three-time Division III national champion who passed away earlier this fall on November 20 in the Knights dual against Simpson College. Wartburg\u2019s won 30 straight against the Storm.\xa0 The weekly load of Wrestlers of the Week are starting to drop. You can get a ton of them in Tuesday\u2019s newsletter.\xa0 Finally, Dan Gable is the big cheese. Or in this case, he\u2019s made of big cheese. File this under things you really don\u2019t need to know, but you need to see, Go Iowa Awesome, a snarky, but often hilarious sports blog covering Iowa, shows us what Dan Gable looks like when he\u2019s carved out of cheese. In Minnesota, it would have been butter.\xa0 On The Network Nothing coming out other than this show on Monday, but the rest of this week, we\u2019ll have shows from On The Mat, Rocked Up, ODU Monarch Matcast, Inside Virginia Tech Wrestling and possibly something from Hall of Fame Legends, but that might have to wait until the lull over Thanksgiving.
