The number 12 carries religious, mythological and magical symbolism, generally representing perfection, entirety or cosmic order in traditions since antiquity. It\u2019s 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\u2019m Jason Bryant and I\u2019ll probably be recording this around 12:12 \u2026 on the 13th. By the way, it\u2019s never the best look to apologize in the intro of a podcast, so I won\u2019t. However, why no Shots the past few days? Well after realizing it\u2019s extremely difficult to schedule and cultivate this while working an event - I was in Canada announcing their Olympic Trials - it\u2019s also tough to do when you don\u2019t 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\u2019t like it too much. It\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.\xa0 Dual Meets:\xa0 In Division II, No. 2 Nebraska-Kearney dropped in-state rival Chadron State 26-16 in Western Nebraska.

St. Olaf put 10 wrestlers on the mat and scored a 45-12 win over NAIA Waldorf on Thursday night. So far, if you\u2019re keeping score, the office of St. Olaf President David Anderson hasn\u2019t even acknowledged receipt of my interview requests as the school announced it would end the sport at the end of the year. Vanguard, an NAIA school in California, won the school\u2019s first dual meet in 39 years as the Lions beat another California NAIA school, Life Pacific 31-19.

Morning Call features the Lehigh Valley wrestling scene and the importance of upcoming super tournaments like the Ironman and Beast of the East and how they relate to postseason success in the rugged state of Pennsylvania.
