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]

Former college basketball coach Mike Jarvis is back with a new book, The Seven C's of Leadership.
"Every one of us has leadership within us and this book offers fascinating principals that work in any setting—from the locker room to the executive board room. In The Seven C's of Leadership, Coach Jarvis lays out the essential ingredients of leadership."
-Jay Wright, NCAA Championship Men’s Basketball Coach, Villanova University
"At a time in America when we are witnessing an epidemic of opioid addictions and deaths, along with suicides, we need Coach Jarvis' Seven C's of Leadership – grounded in the power of Christ alone where we should all make our stand.”
-Lietenant Colonel Allen B. West (U.S. Army, Retired), Bronze Star recipient, and Member 112th U.S. Congress
"The Seven C's of Leadership is a slam dunk! Coach Jarvis has always been an outstanding leader because he has the ability to decipher what true leadership really means.”
