From Staff Reports
NORMAN -- An explosion near the University of Oklahoma's Gaylord Family-Memorial Stadium killed one person Saturday, OU officials said.

The explosion happened at the courtyard near the George Lynn Cross Hall, Botany-Microbiology Building on OU's campus, which is west of the stadium, according to Sgt. Gary Robinson of the University police department.

The explosion happened during the second quarter of Oklahoma's game against Kansas State.

After the explosion, police set up a perimeter of several blocks and made fans exit the stadium to the east.

Expect the liberal media to start spinning 9/11 as 19 "individual suicides" and 7/7 as 4 "individual suicides".

Who is dead?

Just a guess, but I imagine no one will know this guy. Obviously his dorm roommate is not missing him. Maybe he is a "graduate" student. Ha, ha!

Right now they are probably trying to dig up an American name for him so they don't have to use his real name.

Disgusting. I don't know how the left can reconcile all these things. Of course, while Islam technically is anti-gay, the sexual use of teenage and younger boys by adult men is an accepted thing and seems to be considered OK in Muslim cultures. So maybe it's no surprise that this appeals to the lavender wing...

I don't see all that much difference between an airplane at 35,000 feet and a packed football stadium

Because there isnt. A packed stadium on Saturday or a domed NFL game on Sunday are very tempting targets for organized Jihadi's or the freelancer..

here is an interesting read:

It is the 'Official' emergency response plan for OU..scroll down and there are plenty of numbers to call to ask questions. Seems to me like most of the Bio-Hazard types were on the scene shortly after it happened.

---The AP story keeps getting repeated.
(Doesn't anyone other than the AP report the news?!)---

For many newspapers, at least, the AP feed is the news.

I guess if you blow yourself up and don't kill anyone else you're just a suicide

To the MSM, that's true if you're a Muslim or a lefty. Palis blow themselves up in Israel quite regularly, but if no Jews are killed, the MSM does not regard it as "violating a shaky truce" or as "ending a period of relative calm." No harm, no foul!

They really do think they can keep it quiet. None of the local radio stations reported anything about the blast and the one with the game on never did.

I find this blackout of news absolutely amazing

Have they found out who blew them self up?

Consider that we have a never-ending stream of potential Islamists planting themselves in universities nationwide

You and I both live in Florida, and as much as I love Jeb, I was a little distressed by his call this week for more foreign students and relaxed visa requirements for them, because I suspected that he was referring directly to students from Muslim countries (whose visa requirements have been tightened up, although not enough). I don't want any more of them. They don't learn to love us; they get what they can, don't use their education for anything constructive, and then decide it would really be better to kill us.

Maybe I've been watching too much "24", but I would think the FEDS can shut down whatever they want if they can convince the Media that National Security is in Jeopardy.

LOL...same here - if there is such a thing as too much "24!"

Do you think that boys and girls will remember Richard Reid has already been used?

OK....just wondering: do you still think this is just a prank or a grilling accident?

I just can't figure reporters out. Maybe the story's not sexy enough....

They delay is that it takes time to figure out how to spin the story with a "Blame Bush" slant.

"It's much like playing whack-a-mole, with the ACLU, academia and a wide range of powerful financial, political and/or leftist interests on the moles' side."

True, no doubt. As Holland goes, so goes the world?

Hey, why don't we save ourselves a lot of trouble and go out and get our prayer rugs and korans.

I said this early on this thread yesterday and I'll repeat it: the MSM's silence on tis story is disquieting.
