I live 45 minutes away from the terrible tragedy that happened today during a college homecoming parade. I went to the rival school, the University of Oklahoma, but today, everyone in Oklahoma is on the side of Oklahoma State University.
They held a moment of silence at the beginning of OSU's football game today. The same was done at OU. I'm sure there were other places that held a moment of silence in remembrance of the victims.
But what is striking me is the silence in the homes of the victims. Four people died, most recently a 2-year-old. How silent will that house be after today?
And what about the silence in this 25-year-old woman's jail cell tonight, sitting alone with her thoughts. What made her get behind the wheel and cause this awful, awful event?
My heart goes out to everyone touched by this accident. I may be Sooner born and Sooner bred but tonight, my thoughts are with the Cowboys in Stillwater.
