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.

Spoke with a local talk radio station this morning about the bombing and asked why they weren't covering it. They said their sources said that it was not worth covering - the story was dead. I told the station manager's assistant that the story was far from dead. I refered him to your site.

Ignorance is never bliss...

e-mailed savage, hannity and bortz. Maybe one of them will pick it up. And yes, I heard Rick Roberts last night on Savage's show. I like him. But 40 minutes is not enough. But then again, not much is happening with Able Danger and Savage and Roberts have been pounding that home and it doesn't see like anyone is listening to them either.

Maybe we should let the Dems have all the power. Maybe this country needs to have the crap scared out of them - have a "political" heart attack if you will - so that this country can make itself healthy again.

I also have a question and excuse me for being stupid but physics and bombs were never my forte'.

What sort of bomb could make such a loud explosion and not damage anything else around it? Neutron bomb? Doesn't that leave all the buildings and kill the people? I mean, nothing around this site where the bomb went off was damaged - at least not in proportion to the "sound" of the bomb.

I mean, I understand that THIS particular bomb was not a neutron bomb but...

just speculating

What's with Savage today? He made a strange announcement that no longer will he be ranting about politics, or words to that effect. He said he is changing the entire format of his show and will venture into something different which will include a co-host and a small cast of players.

Makes me wonder if someone's out there making offers that cannot be refused.

Was he serious, or was it typical Savage sarcasm?

It could be the topography of the area.

Buildings reflect sound waves. I would imagine any explosion of a bomb would be deafening in the general vicinity.

A neutron bomb doesn't "not damage anything else around it" but rather put out extra radiation (which is why it's called an enhanced radiation bomb) that kills farther out from ground zero. "Regular" nukes do most of their damage by blast effects, with the radiation being a rather undesireable side effect.

From the article about his purchase attempt, he went to one of the local garden centers in Norman.

He wasn't very kind to PKM and others on Saturday and Sunday.

PKM/HR: guess what? The troll who was tormenting us (hoboken-whatever) appears to have been banned. Good riddance to......as they say.

I hope hoboken didn't let the door hit him where the good Lord split him.

He sounded serious, watchwoman. He sounded like he was really burned out on politics.

Check out the link. I shut him off tonight. Thought he might say something about Norman, Okla. Lemme know what you think, if you can catch his broadcast tonight:

I think it's simpler than that. GW's been wining and dining the Clintons. He gave Sandy Berglar a slap on the wrist. And I think, quite simply, he's friends with the Clintons. I'm not saying he's their 'boy'. Just their 'bud'.

He was an idiot. I was monitoring him yesterday (cause he really pissed me off on the original thread, and he was soooooo obviously a troll), and low and behold the maroon was banned.

Hahahahaha!

Sorry, but if you understand the left then you know that if you let them have true power for even a moment, you will not get it back without a bloody fight. And given the level of the 'I don't really care' attitude in this country, I doubt there would be enough opposition to the left if they were to get real power. The left would at that moment act like communists because that is what they really are when you get down to it. The liquidation would be something fierce. As long as some are willing to fight despite the burdens, then should things get really out of control down the road there will be enough people to lead those who finally wake up.

You know, sticks and stones, and all that.

I have read every post so far, so I am up to speed.

Where is that KingCobra guy, anyway? He just loooooved hoboken109, and thought we were all silly twits.

I gladly accept my tin foil hat.
