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.

"Here's a campus map. No. 31, the Botany/MicroB building, is not near the stadium."

Have you considered the possibilty that the bomber was on his way to the stadium when he accidently set the bomb off prematurely?

Further update from KOCO-5...authorities say the fans still at the game are safe and the game should finish as scheduled. OU Pres David Boren is in contact with authorities and they determined there was no need to evacuate stadium. Focus is on keeping people away from the stadium's west side, the microbio bldg and the campus in general. Search continues...

Didn't he go off after receiving an A- on a test or something?

The protesters destroyed the Math Building because Math refused to be relativistic.

Now that I think about it, they already tried it (multiple targets) on 9/11. I'll try to do better next time.

When does Ramadan begin? Anyone know? I know it's soon. It is a very significant and emotive date for Muslims.

Well, its 10:40 FOX has Geraldo interviewing Natalee's mom about Joran Vandersloot. And I looked over to CNN and they are talking about Elizabeth Smart. Nice to know the 24 hour news stations are on top of a story like this. I know a lot is not known at this point. But a bomb near a huge football crowd should be of concern to all of us.HELLO MSM? YOU THERE?
