OU has put up a memorial to the student who blew himself up outside the football stadium.
The father of a University of Oklahoma student who died after a homemade explosive he was carrying detonated near a packed football stadium said the placement of a memorial to the young man on campus wasn't his idea.
A football fan attending OU's Red-White game on April 7 spotted a stone paver outside the student union with Joel Henry Hinrichs III's name on it.
"I was just kind of horrified," Jenny Clemons told The Oklahoman. "I don't think he has any business being out here."
Clemons, 50, a hospital nurse, said she was in the stadium when the explosion occurred. "... I feel like ... if he'd been successful he would have killed a whole bunch of us at the football game," she said.
The stone is engraved "Joel H Hinrichs III" and is toward an end of the patio west of the union.
