Bedlam flyover to honor Mike Winchester

Former Oklahoma punter Mike Winchester will be honored with a flyover from a Southwest Airlines Boeing 737 before Saturday's Bedlam game, weather permitting.

Winchester was shot and killed Nov. 15 outside Will Rogers World Airport, where he worked for Southwest Airlines for 29 years. Winchester was 52.

Winchester's family will be on the field for a pregame moment of silence. His son James played football at OU and is a member of the Kansas City Chiefs. His daugthers Carolyn and Rebecca competed on the OU women's basketball and rowing teams.
