EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Several thousand people gathered at Spartan Stadium on Sunday afternoon to memorialize former Michigan State punter Mike Sadler, who died in a car accident last week.Sadlers mother and sister addressed the fans, family and former teammates who came to campus for the two-hour ceremony. Head coach Mark Dantonio, athletic director Mark Hollis and former teammates Connor Cook, Darqeuze Dennard and Travis Jackson also shared stories about Sadlers life and the impact he had on others.Mike was no ordinary guy and this is no ordinary funeral, said Karen Sadler, Mikes mother. Its extraordinary. Its an incredible celebration of an extraordinary life.Sadler, 24, died in a single-car accident along with Nebraska punter Sam Foltz last Saturday night in Wisconsin. LSU kicker Colby Delahoussaye was also in the car and was treated for minor injuries. Police said rainy weather and speed may have been factors in the crash.Sadler was an All-American punter and a four-time Academic All-American during his time with the Spartans. Dantonio said that Sadler would also have wanted him to mention that the punter averaged 18.5 yards per carry on several fake punts and field goals.Michigan State teammates and friends from earlier parts in Sadlers life remembered his wit and bright personality by sharing memories of his practical jokes, wardrobe choices and self-appointed Heisman campaign. Sadlers sister, Katie, told stories about the Speedo swimsuit he wore to a high school career fair and the time he changed the clocks in her room to convince her she was late for school -- at 3:30 in the morning.Jamie Kohl, who ran the Wisconsin kicking camp and worked with Sadler for several years, was one of several speakers who noted Sadlers ability to accomplish a great deal during a relatively short life.It was time incredibly well spent, Kohl said. It was time that mattered.Sadler planned to attend Stanford law school this fall. The university plans to set up a scholarship fund in his memory. Michigan State has already started an endowment in Sadlers name to fund one football scholarship each season in his memory.The ceremony began with Michigan States past and present players walking the length of the field together as they typically do before football games. They and others in attendance then released hundreds of green balloons following the national anthem.Dantonio concluded the list of speakers by talking about Sadlers competitive spirit and his constant quest to make the most of his potential. The head coach finished by quoting an essay written by Ann Landers.Class can walk with kings and keep its virtue, and with crowds to keep the common touch, Dantonio said. Everyone is comfortable with a person who has a class as he is comfortable with himself. When you have class, you dont need much of anything else. If you dont have it, whatever else you have doesnt make that big a difference. Scarpe Air Max 180 Scontate .

Scarpe Nike Air Max Scontate . -- Playing time has been limited for Maxim Tissot this season, so the Montreal Impact defender made the most of his first scoring opportunity on Saturday. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Diana Taurasi and the U.S. womens basketball team opened their Olympics with a record rout, beating Senegal 121-56 Sunday.The Americans were not expected to be challenged by Senegal, and the only real suspense was how many records they would set. When it ended, the U.S. had set three Olympic marks: points scored in a game, margin of victory and assists.The players and the U.S. coaching staff were happy with how the team went about it.With a team of WNBA MVPs and All-Stars, the Americans constantly made the extra pass on offense that led to open shots or layups. Sue Bird had eight of the teams U.S.-record 36 assists.When we move the ball like that and the ball doesnt get stuck and the defense has to guard us at all five spots on the floor, thats just a tough task for anybody, U.S. coach Geno Auriemma said. Especially in the first half we shot the lights out, we shot great. ... It was really fun.Well, maybe not for everyone.The Brazilian fans tried to spur on the African country, cheering loudly every time it scored and booing the U.S. when the Americans had the ball. The fans even shouted down a brief U.S. chant with a Senegal one.The Americans were used to that treatment, having last played in Brazil in 2006 when they lost in the semifinals of the world championship. Thats the last time the U.S. lost a game in a major tournament.We played in Sao Paolo in the world championships and we played against Russia, Bird said. And it was in Brazil again and we lost that game, and the entire place was chanting Russia. I mean every single person.The Americans reached the 100-point mark for the 15th time in Olympic history early in the fourth quarter, and Breanna Stewart hit a 3-pointer with 3 minutes left to top the Olympic-record 114 points the Americans had against China in 2012. They also broke the largest margin of victory in U.S. history, which had been a 60-point win over Zaire in 1996.When you think about it, its really cool to know that history it went that far back and we were able to break it today in our first game, Stewart said. We hope to play even better in our next one.The Americans were a 57.5-point favorite coming into the contest. Taurasi swished her early 3-pointeers as the U.ddddddddddddS. raced out to a 27-5 lead. The Americans led 35-9 after the first quarter and by 43 at the half en route to a 42nd consecutive Olympic win.Both U.S. basketball teams opened with dominant victories. The womens performance came less than 24 hours after the mens team opened with a 57-point rout of China.More than anything, regardless of the score, its beautiful basketball. Were sharing the ball, Bird said. I dont even know how many points we scored, 100 and whatever. ... We share the ball, we move the ball, we make the right plays at the right time, and that to me is a great brand of basketball.First-time Olympians Brittney Griner, Elena Delle Donne and Stewart all had their first taste of the Games. Griner had 14 points, seven rebounds and two blocks. Stewart, who won four titles under Auriemma at UConn, scored 15 points, tied for the team lead with Taurasi and Sylvia Fowles. Two of Stewarts points came on a nifty alley-oop layup from Bird. Delle Donne added 11.We looked around and said that the three of them played like they were Olympic veterans, Auriemma said. It didnt look at all like there was any sign of nervousness or tentativeness or deferring to the other players. I was thoroughly impressed and really, really happy the way it played out for them. The perfect way for this to start.Senegal was playing in its second Olympics. The African nation lost all six of its games in 2000. Nigeria is still the only African country to win an Olympic contest, getting a victory in 2004.I dont think were really disappointed, said Senegal guard Aya Traore, who played at Purdue on the 2005-06 Sweet 16 team. This is the second time for Senegal to be in the Olympics, and for our group, this is the first time. So playing against the U.S., whos been here every Olympics and world champions and last Olympic gold medalists, what can you expect more? For us, were just happy to be here. We learned a lot of things today, and hopefully were going to take the things with us moving forward.The Americans could face a stiffer test Monday when they take on Spain. ' ' '
