I'm having a really hard time coming to grips with exactly why this could have affected the OK St. players.

I'd disagree, but it's just opinions. When I was in college, most of the athletes on the various teams knew each other, went to each other's games periodically, etc. They crossed paths in the athletic offices, functions, etc.

I'm guessing even the non-athlete students at OSU were probably a little shaken up that day. It was national news, and it was the 2nd deadly plane crash in their AD in recent years. It affected the entire campus.


BTW - point of clarity, it was the head coach and an assistant that died, right? Not two assistants.

I have MANY years of experience in trying to appreciate steaming piles of dogshit.

I doubt they used the same plane.

Im pretty hammered right now.

I doubt they used the same plane.

Wasn't it being flown by a booster who owned it?

It would shake me up pretty good to have a second plane crash happen to my school and then be flying on Oklahoma State planes a few days later. People love to play the "It could have been me" game.
