Oklahoma State: Oklahoma State Remembers the 10

Oklahoma State Remembers the 10: For the first time since 2001, Jan. 27 fell on a Saturday, and Oklahoma State commemorated the sixth anniversary of a plane crash that killed 10 associates of the Cowboys’ basketball team, including players Daniel Lawson and Nate Fleming, with a home game. The plane crashed as they left Boulder, Colo., after a game Jan. 27, 2001. Big 12 officials have been cautious by not scheduling Cowboy games on the disaster’s anniversary. But officials approached Oklahoma State this season, which said the team would be willing to play on the date as long as it was a home game. The university has always commemorated the crash in private ceremonies and, after consulting the victims’ families, decided not to hold a formal memorial service. [1/29/07]
