I'm having a really hard time coming to grips with exactly why this could have affected the OK St. players.
These players and coaches were likely using the same or similar planes and this is also the second time something like this has happened. Also, the AD and other administrators seemed incredibly shaken up and the players likely have empathy for those people too.

They still should have won but when dealing with kids that age any distraction can become a big deal.

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 think it was the women's basketball coach at Oklahoma State and an assistant who were killed in that plane crash, Spanky.

I doubt they used the same plane.

Well, not anymore. That'd be crazy.

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.

I cannot stand the "It could have been me" card, but I'll agree with you on that basis. But, that was a tiny little plane, certainly nothing that Boone Pickens' money paid for.
