Remembering Foltz

I am very proud that we are a member of the Big 10 conference. Very proud.


"Mike Sadler was the first guy I met when I visited Michigan State," said Niswander, aNorthwestern junior who is preparing for his second season as the Wildcats' punter.

"He was the guy they set me up with. I remember the way he came up to me with a big smile and immediately treated me like I was one of the guys." Their connection, Niswander said, was immediate.

Sadler, whose Michigan State career ended in 2014, was not ultimately successful in recruiting Niswander to succeed him as the Spartans' punter, but he did make a friend.

"I could text him," Niswander said, "and ask him anything."

Report: Big Ten punters to honor Sam Foltz, Mike Sadler

"All the Big Ten punters, we are going to write, 'RIP MS' on our left (shoe) because Mike was a lefty and 'RIP SF' on our right because Sam was righty," Niswander said, via the Chicago Tribune. "Everyone was all in. It was a little something we could do to honor them.

Thinking of Sam today. Tomorrow is likely to be a difficult day for his family. We're all excited for the first game and they are without their baby. My prayers go out to them

 
Saw this program cover on twitter earlier and the first thing i thought was how emotional the pregame tribute for Sam will be. Will be the first time I've ever seen 90,000 people with tears in their eyes at the same time. I know I will be there nice and early to make sure i don't miss it.
