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. Information on how to contribute can be found at btsbayarea.org. Check out The Guide, Mat Talk Online’s massive Division I Men’s W

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.

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 I

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.

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 ra

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

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

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 holdin

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

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 w

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 Mercyhur

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 Clu

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
