sports Lynne, David Moss’ Remember the Ten story reminds us of the power of sports Ashton Slaughter Assistant Sports Editor
Lynne and David Moss, as they have for years now, found themselves in GallagherIba Arena for another Remember the Ten game. Ever since 2001, they have come to the annual late-January game — among others, since they are season ticket holders. OSU, the university David graduated from and Lynne’s favorite college, is trailing West Virginia at halftime, 33-32, and their chances of capturing a conference victory — which would be their first one of the season — seem slimmer than they had when the lineups were introduced. Lynne and David are happy, sure, smiling and all, but their hearts are heavy; they are always around this time of the basketball season. The couple has been feeling the same heaviness in GIA this time of year for 23 years. They were here before the Remember the Ten game became an annual event to honor the 10 members of the OSU men’s basketball program who were killed in a plane crash in Strasburg, Colorado. They were here when the emotions were visible, the grief was unprocessed, and the future was unclear. Lynne and David were in the arena for the Cowboys’ first game after the crash. It had been nine days since the plane crashed in a Colorado field. The season was back on. Missouri was in town. “When you walked in, you could just feel the sadness,” Lynne said. Lynne and David weren’t just sad from a fan perspective, but from a personal one, too. Their daughter, Amy, opened up the Chili’s in Stillwater, and during the 2000-01 season, OSU basketball signed a contract with the restaurant in which the players, staff and other members of the team would eat there once a week. Amy particularly built relationships with Pat Noyes (director of basketball operations) and Nate Fleming (player).

Battle could’ve been a problem for the Cowboys to control. Instead, quite the opposite transpired. Battle was on the court for 27 minutes, but in that time he was held to only 2 points on 1-of-6 attempts — a season low for the guard. Credit is certainly due to the Cowboys for locking Battle down on defense. However, with one man down, it was the next man up for the West Virginia offense. Kerr Kriisa, a player that Boyton recalls recruting “a little bit” was the leading scorer in the game, scoring 21 points and hitting all six of his first three-point attempts. Kriisa’s season-high in points was the Cowboys’ primary dilemma on defense, despite silencing Battle. “He’s a really good player,” Boyton said. “We knew he shot it well, but I think once Battle wasn’t going, he started to get more aggressive.” Bryce Thompson has a moment of long-awaited redemption at the FT line Free throws have been an up-anddown journey for seasoned Oklahoma State guard Bryce Thompson, but a trip
to the line with the game in balance, 69-66, brought forth a redeeming moment that felt like a long-awaited sigh of relief. In need of a two-possession advantage that would seal the win, Thompson missed his first free throw attempt but knocked down the second. Now up 70–66, the pressure of past mistakes at the line seemed to at least partially release. Thompson’s 66.7% free throw rate is his highest in four collegiate seasons. While Thompson wasn’t perfect from the field, knocking down only 2-of-9 of his shot attempts for eight points, his teammates advocated that the number of points on the line doesn’t always tell the full story. “It’s all about having the next-play mentality,” Eric Dailey Jr. said. “Bryce is a double-digit scorer, but some days it’s just not going to be your day. There’s always something that we can do right to help the team, regardless. So I think that’s what he did.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

sports Offensive struggles continue for Cowgirls, lose third-straight game to No. 13 Baylor, 72-60 Davis Cordova Staff Reporter
The Cowgirls had a stretch where they couldn’t buy a basket. OSU women’s basketball team lost to No. 13 Baylor, 72-60, on Sunday in GallagherIba Arena. The loss was highlighted by offensive struggles in the middle of the game, along with double-digit offensive rebounds by Baylor that helped the Lady Bears win. What highlighted the Cowgirls’ struggle on offense is an eight-minute stretch ranging from the second and third quarters where OSU scored three points. The Cowgirls also took 4:11 to score in the second half, which allowed Baylor to build on their three-point lead at the break. The drought has been persistent throughout conference play for the Cowgirls, they’ve gone on similar runs in their three-game losing streak, but OSU coach Jacie Hoyt said it’s not a tendency the Cowgirls have developed. “I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily a trend,” Hoyt said. “Every game has the highs and the lows and teams go on runs. I don’t think it’s as much about that, it’s just we have to find a way to piece a full game together.” OSU (11-9 overall, 4-5 Big 12) couldn’t keep Baylor and specifically 5-foot-11-inch guard Aijha Blackwell off the glass. Baylor (16-3, 5-3) outrebounded the Cowgirls 45-29 and corralled 16 offensive rebounds. Blackwell had a field day on the glass, hauling in seven offensive rebounds and 12 defensive rebounds. Hoyt said she may need to change things in preparation for games in the future with the outing the Cowgirls had on the rebounds against Baylor. “I mean, let’s keep perspective everyone. Baylor’s the 13th-ranked team in the country. They’re a damn good basketball team. They’re doing a great job,” Hoyt said. “Ultimately, we’ve got to be better on the glass and I know I have to make changes in practice to help our team with that. I know our kids will do whatever I ask them to do. “I need to push them more because that’s unacceptable.” sports.ed@ocolly.com

Swift has consistently backed Democrats, which is why Vivek Ramaswamy, who dropped his presidential bid and endorsed Donald Trump this month, took to his X account to share his conspiracy theory on the matter. The Republican politician suggested the NFL rigged the endgame to ensure Swift has more airtime ahead of a Biden endorsement. “I wonder who’s going to win the Super Bowl next month,” Ramaswamy wrote, “And I wonder if there’s a major presidential endorsement coming from an artificially culturally propped-up couple this fall. Just some wild speculation over here, let’s see how it ages over the next 8 months.” For months now, the worldwide sensation has been appearing at NFL games to support her boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The reigning Super Bowl champions won
the AFC championship, securing their place in the upcoming Super Bowl in Las Vegas. The victory ignited conspiracies from not only Ramaswamy, but several right-wingers. Another failed GOP candidate, Jack Lombardi II, said he has “never been more convinced that the Super Bowl is rigged. With all the unneeded and unwanted Taylor coverage at the games. KC’s journey to the Superbowl – totally scripted … KC wins. And then later (they announce) their support for Biden. Coincidental? No. Bought and paid for couple.

news prediction OAIRE . . . weather data with the goal
Continued from 1 In Oklahoma, research concentrates on wildfires, Jacob said. Drones serve multiple purposes, not only for fire detection, but also for guiding ground personnel beyond initial sighting points. Using diverse sensors, including infrared, enables the identification of hot spots and fire lines, facilitating strategic deployment. In addition, the imagery obtained through drone technology often surpasses the resolution of satellite imagery, enhancing overall effectiveness in disaster response and management. “Drone technology will help us to determine how we better tailor our deployment and let me know what resources I need to send,” Baker said. “Fire apparatus are very expensive, and the more you drive them, the more they break down. Every time we leave a fire station, it’s a risk. I put people out in jeopardy. “You can only drive so far in traffic, but if we had someone in the Arkansas River, we could see so much more from a drone. And if we do have someone, we could see where they are. Then we’re not sending boats way upstream when they’re downstream, and we know exactly where they’re at because we’ve got eyes on them quickly. So, it speeds up the response, it is more effective response and it’s the right resource.” Jacob’s team is also working to enhance
of providing real time information to first responders and to create models that can predict what will happen in the next hour, and the ensuing 12 hours. “This is really focused on the ability to pull in data that you can utilize to help improve your sourcing,” Jacob said. “The reason for this is, when you’re operating things such as smaller drones or larger Uber air taxis, you must know what that weather scenario we need that information to be able to fly these things. At the same time, you can use these things as a useful tool to get that weather information together and use that to help provide that critical data to tell you what that looks like.” Through his role, Baker collaborates with Jacob on programs like DFR to add a first responders’ perspective. He said this collaboration provides essential insight into the future of public safety. “If we don’t have academic partners, government partners or community partners, we’re not going to be effective in this and I think that’s really the key,” Baker said. In the future, Jacob is looking forward to establishing an OSU UAS first responder training course. “We have OAIRE, and we have both research and education missions. So, we’re really focused not just on doing the research, but also making sure that we’re educating and training the next generation,” Jacob said. news.ed@ocolly.com

He lifted me out of the slimy pit...he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand. He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear (stand in awe) and put their trust in the LORD.” (Ps.40:1-3 NIV) “But they that wait upon the LORD shall
renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” (Is.40:31 KJV) There is something definite and real about waiting on the Lord. I remember years ago when I sensed the Lord speak to me. “Make yourself available!” I thought I was! I was reading my Bible some and going to church regularly. As I considered this challenge from Lord, I felt I should spend some quiet time daily with the Lord. With my busy days,I decided to spend a hour (5 to 6 a.m.) each day. That decision brought about important changes in my life and service to God. I was learning to wait on the Lord. What a loving and faithful God we have to help us find his best for our lives.

OSU News Greenhouses at the Agronomy Farm at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater on Nov. 9, 2023.
Station . . . Continued from 1 During a deep freeze in February 2021, pipes froze in the program’s main greenhouse, a building constructed in the 1960s. The facility’s heating system failed, and the OSU wheat breeding team lost 70% of its potential new plant lines for the year. After surveying the damage, Brett Carver, regents professor
and OSU wheat genetics chair in agriculture, determined the plant loss would delay important wheat variety development for several years, and some of the losses were never recovered. The weather’s effect on deteriorating greenhouse conditions highlighted OSU’s need to update or replace dilapidated research facilities within its division of agriculture; one teaching lab still used today was built in 1957. Other structures in operation on the premises date back to the 1930s. “If we had new facilities, we could stretch out our season to nine months
out of the year and respond more quickly to wheat breeding developments that are happening elsewhere in the world,” Carver said. A 2020 study released by the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities reported $11.5 billion in repairs and renovations are needed at schools authorized to receive U.S. Department of Agriculture research funding. The data indicates that 69% of the buildings at 97 land-grant universities are more than 25 years old and require urgent upgrades to remain safe and effective, including experimental farms,
greenhouses and support facilities. A continued lack of funding to address university research infrastructure will negatively affect agriculture, food and related industries that annually contribute $1.1 trillion to America’s economy. Lusk said these initial steps for the OSU agronomy farm are promising. “We look forward to seeing improvements in motion at the Agronomy Research Station and how those upgrades will translate to our land-grant mission areas, and ultimately, the agricultural industry,” he said. news.ed@ocolly.com
