***Tragic News - Current Nebraska Punter Sam Foltz dies in car crash***

[Apathy]

3 hours later from hearing the news and I still can't believe Foltz is gone.

 

Sucks that Sadler is gone too. I always enjoyed reading the conversations between him and Faux Bo.

 

Today is a sad day both for Spartan and Husker fans.

Such Tragic news. Prayers to their families and teammates.. RIP #27 & #3...

[The Duke]

Simply tragic news. Both young men have left this world way too soon.

 

Many prayers & condolonces to their loved ones. Prayers to both the Cornhusker & Spartan families.

 

Live each day to the fullest. Make the best of every moment you have.

 

Rest in peace Sam. Rest in peace Mike. God's peace be with you both forever.

I'm just finding out about this. Horrible, horrible news. Sam, and Mike Sadler, who was such a great sport having fun with Faux Pelini. Gone way too young.

I like the gesture of lining up to punt with 10 men. Also really like the idea of a red hashmark at the 27yrd line. Could also do the 27 in a circle on the helmets like we did for the UCLA kid.

I swear to god, we should honor him by never punting all season. Sounds stupid, but every time we go out and punt it will just hurt across the nation without him out there. Gosh dang, this is just awful.

 

That might be impractical.... but I think this might be a cool idea - the first time Nebraska lines up in punt formation this year, they should only put 10 guys on the field and not have a punter line up, and let the play clock run out and take a 5 yard penalty, or otherwise call a time out on zero.

It rained pretty hard here last night. Now I realize that same system is what they were driving on and caused the wet conditions up there.

For those of you too young to know, or remember, this is what it felt like when Brook Berringer died.

Same here. It just passed through Metro Detroit this morning. It was a pretty bad down pour for 10 minutes or so. Street was flooding, if I were out driving I wouldn't have been able to see a thing in the day light. Had that happen to me a month ago on a straight road. Scared the absolute sh#t out of me. I could only guess where I was by the occasional blurry white line where the hood meets the windshield. Was too scared of getting run over from behind to completely stop.

Absolutely heartbreaking news.................RIP #27, you will be missed!

[I am I]

Sad

Condolences go out to the friends, teammates, and family of Foltz and Sadler.

 

In some way, I wish we were playing MSU this year. It would be a great way for fans on both sides to honor two valuable players lost way too soon.

Great punter. He will be missed by the team greatly this year. We all know how invaluable a great punter like Sam can be.

 

Obviously his loss will be felt off the field much, much MUCH more.

Yeah it was a pretty intense yet somewhat brief downpour here too. I also remember thinking I was glad I was not out in it.

 

I wonder if visibility was a factor due to the possible heavy rain. Such a tragic accident.
