Just skip to Question #6.

Sam Stoll Article
- Thread starter DonHawkeye
- Start date
"Cure to the weak mind" gotta love it!!!!
The answer to #6 is Sweet!!
The responses to that article from Gopher fans on their forum were rather harsh. The butt hurt from losing another top in-State recruit to another school still stings.
You would think after the last decade Gopher fans would have been able to adapt.
Regardless if Sam ever wrestles another match for the Hawks or not... gotta love his approach and mindset.

I'd like to think Sam didn't skip a beat when he answered that last question.
Stoll is what the kids call a #savage

It was a loaded question, and even the interviewer said that it was just him and Sam having fun. Yet, the people on The G are busy calling him fat, and ripping him for getting injured. It's pretty pathetic
Gophers fans are just jealous. A lot of them on there were also complaining about the lack of fire and energy from their wrestlers and wished they had some spark like Iowa did.
*some people are calling him "fat"
Just as *some people on here have called him "fat"
Also keep in mind the negative response a former IA high school wrestler received here for some of his comments of this forum and wanting to return to carver in maroon and gold.
Had that same wrestler said those comments as Stoll but about Iowa, there would be a major uproar here as well.
Every fan base has emotional idiots that say things that look poorly on the fan base.
I took it as a shot, the author provided some clarity that makes me see it in a different light. I am sure he is happy with the clicks he has received though haha. Unfortunately cat was already out of the bag at that point.

Can you blame them? They were all high and mighty, full of themselves that "they had Kroells and didn't need Stoll" and saying how much better Kroells was than Stoll in HS. Now they see what a commodity Sam was (is...especially after Sam beat MK in Carver last year) and is yet another reminder of what a huge embarrassing failure they've become.
Almost every response it taking a shot at Sam. People on this message board have said stupid things, but the response on your board really isn't defensible.
Equals
Victory!!!
I really hope this kid gets back to form. He was fun to watch and you knew that pins were going to happen!!
Reviewing all 27 posts currently there 7 are shots, 4 additional posts are borderline, 16 are not shots. Critiquing his wrestling style isn't not a shot IMO. His injuries and body size certainly is a shot in poor taste.
I would have loved for Sam to be a Gopher. However, I am glad I don't have to listen to people talk about his "stalling" 24/7, cuz it would probably be rubbed in our faces. Kroells will have a shot at his third AA finish. No major regrets at this point. Next year could be a different story. Hope Sam can heal and return to the mat.
I know I do, and others do as well, rip on the Goofs pretty bad. But when I have time i read many other wrestling sites.
I am being totally objective when I say the anti Iowa mentality is greatest with Minnesota fans. It is a bit strange because until just recently, Minnesota vs Iowa was pretty competitive. I see absolutely nothing that indicates to me it will be close again anytime soon. Kirkv is a good recruit, no doubt. If Steveson ends up in Minnesota... that's a big get. If both are there, which I doubt happens... that a start back to respectability. But there is no connection to Pa. or NJ with the current staff that I'm aware of. They aren't competing with their present approach of in-State kids when they consistently lose the best ones... Stoll, Parriot, Berge, Hall, etc.
Eggum might be a good guy off the mat. Might even be a guy I'd entrust my grandkids to be mentored by. But the results of the last 5-6 years on the mat don't indicate he's going to lead them to a title.
We've seen by recent results that teams outside the top 6-8 are very average, at best. A coach's selling point is the team and individual result. NCSt and VT are advancing. I think Oklahoma gets there. Minny, ISU, and other past powers are falling and have been replaced. That might just be my opinion. Or maybe not.

Iowa is MN's biggest rival. Similar to how you dislike MN, many Minnesotans dislike IA. Is any dislike for another sports team truly justified? It has always confused me how you don't grasp that concept.
Eggum runs clinics at Young Guns. They also do have a guy from PA in the lineup.

Minnesota fans chant who hates Iowa while their team is playing Wisconsin or other teams etc. That is embarrassing.
That is not the case for wrestling, but yes for other sports. You say embarrassing, I find humor in it. The Who hates Iowa chant was started during my wedding reception. My reception was in Iowa haha.
Minnesota has exactly TWO guys from outside the State that have ever wrestled a varsity match when I reviewed the roster. Both 125s. If Eggum runs clinics... it sure hasn't paid dividends.
This rivalry you reference is disappearing. The current situation at Minnesota is trending downward. You can't present facts to prove me wrong because they don't exist.
The Gopher fans need to find a new program to dislike. If Bono stays... there you go.
If we can't hate Iowa anymore then u have to move on from MN too!!!
Hate Iowa all you want. Don't you think it's great at nationals when people cheer when we lose? I happen to think it's awesome how much Iowa is disliked, even in sports outside of wrestling. Clearly, we're doing something right. I've lived in the Midwest, West Coast, and the Bible Belt. The Iowa hate was surprisingly prevalent, across a lot of the country. Most likely because Iowa fans are everywhere, and we love to wear our black and gold everywhere we go. Watching the football games in the Iowa bar in Santa Monica is like being in DT Iowa City during game day. I was blown away. Moving to the East Coast next week. I look forward to the Hawkeye hate when I get there.
Ben Pherson, the reporter who interviewed Stoll, does a great job covering Southeast Minnesota wrestling in Rochester, a predominately hockey/basketball town in the winter. He absolutely loves the Clash tournament and is there every year for the entire event.
Knowing Ben a little, his depiction of him dishing it out and Stoll giving it right back is accurate.
Gilman’s comeback is a hot topic right now. Had this interview taken place a few weeks down the road, Stoll might not have even mentioned it. Given the timing, Stoll had a very quick, very funny comeback!

Having Hawkeye blood in you is not a disease, it's the cure to a weak mind, weak lungs, and giving up a seven-point lead and getting pinned in the third.
That's the best quote I've seen in awhile.

Kroells has had a better career to this point. Bad example of "huge embarrassing failure they've become."
Stoll's answer was entertaining. I hope he's able to get back physically.
This. When Iowa played Arizona down here, half of 4th Ave (our bar scene) were Hawk fans on Friday night. More opposing fans showed up than any other school except for Arizona State for obvious reasons.
That's a lie. At the national duals in Minneapolis, the Minnesota fans were chanting who hates Iowa when they were wrestling some other team.
I wasn't there so sorry that was off my radar. Iowa was at least in the building though.
At a single dual meet against a non Iowa opponent I have never heard The Who hates Iowa chant. I have heard it against Iowa. Again just sharing my experience, it may have happened in the past.

I was at a Zac Brown Band concert at Target field and heard people start the "Who Hates Iowa.." chant. I really don't understand it.
One of my cousins lives in St. Cloud and her kids always talked down on the state of Iowa when they were in grade school. I'm not sure what the deal is.
That interview was priceless. I must confess, that when Stoll committed to the Hawks I was less than convinced that he would become the force that he has become. I watched his HS matches and didn't think his style would translate well to D-1. I was very excited when Aaron Bradley committed and thought that he would eventually beat out Stoll and be the Hawkeye starter. I couldn't have been more wrong.
Stoll actually makes Heavyweight wrestling exciting to watch. He is an absolutely relentless competitor and has developed very well under the current staff. When he's full strength he can beat anyone not named Snyder. Injuries are part of the game, but that doesn't make them suck any less. I'm hoping Sammy heals up ready to go full-bore by Midlands next year and then is granted a 6th year (a long shot I know).
