Tragedy: MSU and Nebraska punters die in car crash
Sad news for Foltz but there is no mention of Sadler in those tweets...
Edit..I now see the tweet mentioning Sadler below, guess I was hoping it wasn't so.
Just tragic...feel for the families and friends of these young men.
My heart just sunk a little. no way....
Prayers for the families!
I've seen comments in the past to this effect.
My view is that you can debate the merits of these views, but it's a bad idea to bring it up when people are trying to work through a tragedy.
I sometimes wonder if we could see all downvotes, not just for the main poster, if a lot of the drive-by votes would be gone. Because while we can absolutely get into a debate about religion and prayer on the internet, after two 20-something guys die in a tragic accident is definitely not the time.

Went to High School with Mike. Such a great guy who loved the game, MSU, and helping others. Thoughts are with his family and all families involved.
With Ryan a long time ago now.
FHN class of '04. Small world, a shame it took a tragedy like this to find out how many FHN grads are on here.
Mike Sadler was headed to Stanford to begin law school.

I heard that they were on their way back from a punting clinic or camp in Wisconsin when this happened. Very, very tragic indeed. Cannot even imagine what their families are going through right now.
Condolences to their friends, family and respective university communities.

Sad news indeed.
to their families and friends.
Prayers for both men and their families, horrible news. May they rest and peace and inspire lifetimes of positivity in their memory.
That is a tragedy. Those kids were way too young. RIP fellas.
way, way too soon.
He, amongst everything you mentioned was a great twitter follow - never an unkind word said.
I was going to mention this.
Other than personal friends, he was my favorite Spartan ever.
RIP.
Foltz was the Big Ten punter of the year last year and was on this year's Ray Guy Award watch list as one of the nation's best punters.
That's awful.
Terrible news. RIP young men.
So tragic to see young men taken way too early. RIP lads. Thoughts with their families.
Yep, very sad when young ones go. WIsh their families the best in a tragic time.
Life is too damn short, and the world is a cruel place. We have to appreciate what we have, and who we have, while we have them. Because we could wake up tomorrow morning and they all could be gone.
At the end of the day, football is just a game. Gone too soon, young men.

According to the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department, Foltz was a passenger in a car traveling westbound on Beaver Lake Road at 11:30 p.m. The car lost control on wet pavement, left the roadway and struck a tree. Speed appears to be a factor in the traffic crash.
According to one person who lives near the area, there was a torrential rainstorm in the area last night.
The driver of the car was Michael Sadler, 24, a former Michigan State punter. He and Foltz were pronounced dead at the scene. A second passenger, Colby Delahoussaye was transported to Waukesha Memorial Hospital. Delahoussaye is a senior punter at LSU.
The three were attending a weekend punter's camp in Wisconsin.
