Saturday night former Michigan State Punter Mike Sadler died after a car accident in Wisconsin. Sadler, 24, was the driver in a single car accident, according to the Waukesha County Sheriff’s Department.

Police say that Sadler lost control of his car on wet pavement and hit a tree. He was pronounced dead on the scene.

Nebraska punter Sam Foltz also died in the crash and Louisiana State place kicker was transported to the hospital with injuries. They were all in Wisconsin for a weekend punting camp.

Sadler was four-time Academic All-American and was scheduled to start classes at Stanford Law in the fall.

Sadler was known around Michigan State’s campus for his hilarious social media feed, of which he had a few notable encounters with parody Twitter accounts.

Sadler also got a lot of recognition for his trick plays including this one against Michigan in 2012. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RspNRAMaku4

I never had any personal interactions with Sadler, but I did run a Twitter account that he would occasionally reply back and forth with, and he seemed like an awesome guy with a great sense of humor.

Everyone I know who has interacted with him has nothing but good things to say about his character. The Michigan State community has truly lost someone special.

So as we mourn the loss of Sadler, let us come together as a community and remember the incredible player he was for our football team, but also remember the incredible guy he seemed to be. Thank you, Mike Sadler, for leading our football team to many victories as well as being someone Michigan State will forever remember. You will be missed.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
