This story hits close to home for me as I live in Oklahoma, and my cousin was friends with a couple of these guys. I think Doug does a good job expressing his sorrow for his former friends and teammates.

I don't remember what game we were about to have. Maybe it was UNC, when we lost to them Shane's senior year. But I remember I was making a poster before the game, with a big black marker. It said:

OSU VICTIMS
BOBBI OLSON*
AL MCGUIRE

Because they all died basically bam bam bam. I'm in the grad line on the south side of the building, and Mike Sobb comes up, and he says to me, we're gonna do something for that tonight. There was a moment of silence before the game.
