RIP Mike Sadler, Big Ten Media Day, Darien Harris Tribute, Memories of Mike Sadler, Le'Veon Bell, and Weekend Winners.

For the Michigan State community, this one hit close to home. Recent Spartan punter Mike Sadler died in a car crash at the age of 24. His memory and the outpouring of support is the center of today's show, as both Al and engineer Isaac Constans give their memories of the All-American punter. Next, Darien Harris, former team captain and linebacker, is available to recall what he remembered best about playing with Mike Sadler. Harris also lines up his plans for remembering his teammate. And finally, Al and Isaac try to pick up the mood with 'Weekend Winners,' remembering what went right instead of wrong.
