Short Time Shots - November 10, 2018 Short Time Wrestling Podcast

    • Wrestling

Pretty full plate of college wrestling action going down on Saturday, but first, my oldest Lucy still isn’t feeling good, but my wife survived her 20+ hour trip back to the U.S. from Singapore just in time to make dinner. I’m actually kidding. We picked up dinner on the way home from the airport and I do most of the cooking because I have the job that has the home office. She’s also like, super awesome at her job. With the homestead back to normal, save the kiddo being sick, I’d like to welcome you to Short Time Shots, a semi-daily podcast aimed at giving you, the wrestling fan, all you need to know about the night’s (or previous day’s) wrestling news in a short, somewhat funny, or not, format. I’m Jason Bryant and I’ve skipped over the Octoberfests and I’ve gone right to the porters and stouts! There were 24 duals in Division I on Saturday with most of them taking place in the Capital Region of New York where Mr. Awesome Frank Popolizio hosted the Journeymen MyHouse Northeast Duals. We saw a lot of good individual action and a few upsets, but the biggest one team-wise came as Utah Valley knocked off No. 15 Rutgers 24-14. Rutgers jumped out to a big lead early, with a pair of major decisions at 125 and 133. After Utah Valley’s Matt Findlay picked up a fall at 141, Rutgers’ Anthony Ashnault matched it with a fall of his own at 149, giving Rutgers a 14-4 lead after four matches. Now, say it in your Red Dawn voice, the WOLVERINES, reeled off six straight wins to close things out, the biggest likely being Grant LaMont’s 9-6 win over John Van Brill at 157 pounds. Tanner Orndorff’s 9-2 win over Matthew Correnti sealed the deal after 197. Utah Valley did fight pretty hard earlier in the day, and that’s just not one of those cliché headlines when a team gets blown out. Yes, we saw a few of those already with teams “fighting hard” in a 48-3 loss or something like that. Yeah, you actually didn’t. You know who did, though? Utah Valley. No. 12 Nebraska, which was favored by like 19.5 points according to that one online sportsbook that’s now throwing out wrestling lines, needed a crucial win at 197 pounds by Eric Schultz to avoid the upset. Even without Zeke Moisey for that dual, the Huskers held on 19-15. No. 12 Nebraska went 3-0 on the day, also picking up a 28-9 win over Drexel and a 21-15 win over Virginia. No, we didn’t see Louie Hayes vs. Zeke Moisey. Moisey wrestled one match on the day, one where he had to do everything he could to beat Drexel freshman Antonio Mininno 8-7. Elsewhere in Troy, Utah Valley’s Matt Findlay and Virginia’s Sam Krivus both beat Nebraska All-American Chad Red on the day. Another Husker, Isaiah White, had a rough day as well. The former Division II national champion fell to Ebed Jarrell of Drexel and Demetrius Romero of Utah Valley. No. 17 Purdue went 2-0, blasting Bloomsburg 35-5 and Drexel 25-14. No. 21 Wyoming beat Edinboro 33-6 and Virginia 21-9. I’m going to give Johnny Clark some time here. Sacred Heart is no stranger to this show. I had their old coach Andy Lausier on the show on two different occasions, but he’s now at Davidson and Clark is running the show. On Saturday in Troy, Sacred Heart won two duals, which was the exact amount they won last year. They won two duals against Division I opposition, which has only happened sparingly since former coach Andy Seras left, like 10+ years ago. And not only did they win two duals against D1 competition, they did it in the same DAY. Now the internet archive kinda sucks when trying to pull up database-drive sites like the old InterMat from 10 years ago, but the most likely scenario that saw Sacred Heart ever win two Division I duals in one day was when Seras was coaching them and the Pioneers were in the CAA. It was also Sacred Heart’s first Division I win in the last eight years over a team not named Bloomsburg, Davidson or VMI. While Sacred Heart did also beat Bloomsburg on Saturday, the win I
