There isn\u2019t a whole lot I\u2019m going to go in-depth with tonight, but it\u2019s 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\u2019m Jason Bryant.\xa0 In case you\u2019re 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\u2019s on the web on the weekend. Or, I\u2019ll just do it on weekdays when relevant, because it\u2019s my show. And probably nothing on Friday night, since I\u2019m heading down to The Clash.\xa0 Minnesota Beer of the Night: I\u2019ve been kind of holding out on this one - it\u2019s Castle Danger\u2019s Castle Cream Ale. This was a small brewery in Castle Danger, Minnesota, which is a real place, but now it\u2019s grown to the point it has its own spot in Two Harbors, just north of Duluth. This is a beer that if it\u2019s on draft where you\u2019re at, you buy it. It\u2019s really everything I want in a beer. Not heavy, not hoppy, just smooth, crushable and awesome. I\u2019ll be honest, it\u2019s almost always in my fridge.\xa0 New Patron: Mike Conley, a guy I\u2019ve 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\u2019s the only love I\u2019ll give to those Falcons - well, there\u2019s that one time where I picked Jason Dye to win the state title. Jason Fulmore also jumped on, he\u2019s the guy behind SoutheastWrestling.com. He\u2019s trying to start something rolling there in the south when it comes to wrestling, I\u2019d encourage you to give it a look.\xa0 The Scuffle:\xa0 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\u2019s unattached true freshman Carter Starocci at 174, Lou DePrez of Binghamton at 184, West Virginia\u2019s Noah Adams at 197 and Iowa State\u2019s Gannon Gremmel at 285. DePrez avenged an early-season loss to NC State\u2019s Trent Hidlay 3-2. OW went to Adams, who pinned Stanford\u2019s 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 won six of ten bouts with a fall coming from Brandon Martino at 174 to beat the visiting Mustangs 24-16. While Cal Poly had a chance going into the final match, Jacob Wright\u2019s 7-6 decision at 157 pounds closed out the win for the Bulldogs.\xa0 Fresno State rallied from a 19-12 deficit to win the last two matches to beat Utah Valley 24-19. Big match there came at 285 as Tate Orndorff knocked off Josh Hokit 3-1. Greg Gaxiola was leading 6-1 in the second period when he earned an injury default win over Brigg Hoopes. That set the stage for the final bout where Wright got up big on Jerry Rubio and finished the dual off with a fall with 40 seconds to go.\xa0\xa0 In Division II, Augustana (S.D.) upended No. 23 Western Colorado 24-12 in Sioux Falls. The Vikings won five of the last six matches to close things out.\xa0 Notables on the Docket: Long Island University heads through Pennsylvania to take on Bloomsburg, while No. 5 Virginia Tech heads to Mount Pleasant, Michigan to take on No. 24 Central Michigan.\xa0 In the NAIA, Menlo will host the Menlo duals with Arizona Christian, Northwestern (Iowa), and Simpson (Calif.). The heavy stuff won\u2019t be coming down for an hour or so, or Saturday, if you\u2019re wondering.\xa0 FROM THE DWN: TheMat.com released its Top 10 stories of 2019 and they mean by analytics, not the actual best stories of the year. Analytics. Yay. Math.\xa0 TheMat.com has also gone to the Rooskies! Ok, partially kidding, but Petr Pavlov, a Russian journalist, rates the strongest freestyle wrestlers of 2019.\xa0 The other Roger Moore recaps the Southern Scuffle with a good ol\u2019 gamer for TheMat.com as well. No word on whether or not J.D. Rader actually got to go to the bathroom on Wednesday.\xa0 Trackwrestling\u2019s Clay Sauerteig, one of the most personally prolific Twitter follows in the history of the universe, gives us a high school update from the break, focusing on Wyoming Seminary and its victory at the POWERade in Western Pennsylvania.\xa0 The Al and Josh Show, a podcast in Minnesota focusing on a number of areas of the state\u2019s wrestling scene, previews The Clash, which kicks off on Friday down in Rochester, Minnesota. I solely listen because they constantly give me shout outs. Sadly, they also give them to Mack Reiter as well.\xa0 Samantha Scovel of NCAA.com wrote a piece a couple of days ago on the top freshman in NCAA Division I right now, I didn\u2019t do a Shots that day, so I\u2019ll link it back up in this episode\u2019s show nots.\xa0 Matt Dernlan and Ben Askren are back with The Rudis Podcast, talking about The Midlands. Got some news forthcoming about that show, too.\xa0 Check out the video feature from IAWrestle.com on Keegan Shaw. They define him as a \u201cvery unique fellow.\u201d FivePointMove.com named G\u2019Angelo Hancock and Max Nowry its Athletes of the Year. No, I don\u2019t need a descriptor that says Greco-Roman, you know 5PM is a Greco site.\xa0 On The Network Just this one. It should be noted that I pushed out 448 podcast episodes in 2019. How many hours of content was provided by my shows and our friends on the network? Math problems. So I did the math - the network pushed out just north of 273 hours of audio content. It would take you 34 days listening eight hours a day to finish. Or just one bowl of Colon Blow.\xa0 Not on the network, but social media donk Darren Rovell blocked me on Twitter today. Surprised it took him this long. Who\u2019s Darren Rovell? No one, really.\xa0 You can get to read those stories and more from Mat Talk Online\u2019s daily wrestling newsletter.
