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.

I never go to DU. Can't risk losing what little sanity I have left.

But I can understand their concern. It is common for Christian fraternity guys to be blowing themselves up, you know.

Some early reports indicated 2/3 middle-eastern men AKA Islamo-fascists.

Weird! Why change the story? And then the story contradicts itself. BTW, one of the reporters is a sports guy -- never known him to cover anything but sports.

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

I don't think so, because so far, most of the American "jihadists" the Muzzies have been able to produce have not been interested in killing themselves. The only one I ever wondered about was the Black Muslim helicopter mechanic who brought down the helicopter in Iraq during the war - but he actually appears to have thought that he was not scheduled for the flight, and only went on it when forced to do so. In other words, it wasn't a suicide attack in his case, but the usual homicide - and he couldn't refuse to go on the flight without ruining his plans.

American converts, whether Black Muslims or teenage white losers who convert to Islam, generally don't seem to do the suicide part of these attacks.

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

I did notice there were no tributes this year, or, footage.

Remember when that kid in Tampa flew a plane into that skyscraper. He was part Muslim and had some writings saying Osama was great. The media buried it.

Also, remember---- An EGYPTIAN gunman opened fire at the ticket counter of Israel's El Al airline at Los Angeles International Airport July 4, 2002, killing two and wounding at least two others before being shot and killed by an airline security guard.
The media buried it.

Reporters are trying to find answers and getting nowhere.

indcons, I live in a Big 12 university town in "flyover country". I suspect there's an underlying sentiment among the skeptics that hasn't been expressed thusfar that I've actually heard from friends living in Washington DC and L.A. In a condescending and somewhat mocking tone, they usually ask, "Really, why would a terrorist target LUBBOCK of all places.... (or insert your Redcity, Redstate, USA medium size city name here)?"

The more I think about it, the more likely it seems to me the authorities might be keeping the lid tight while seeking others involved. The reasoning might be that if the story keeps being repeated as a "lone nut," others possibly involved may let their guard down.

LMAO......trust the DUmmies to come up with the worst explanations. I won't be surprised to hear calls for understanding and tolerence (from the Dims) if this turns out to be a failed terrorist plot.

What do you know about Elohim City? When the Murrah Bldg was blown up, there were some rumblings on the Internet about some people in Elohim City being involved. I never followed it up.

Distance between Norman and Glendale AZ? I have driven it in less than 18 hours. I-40 to Flagstaff, then south to Phoenix.

I have never heard about the molestation of boys in Islam. Though I'm sure in happens in all cultures. And it makes sense since they marginalize women and are clearly frightened of female sexuality.

Do you have a source? I believe you, but I like to have back up.

Er, huh? I don't know of any. I'm talking about nutcases who would give serious thought to parroting THIS one if they thought it would get them on the news as a "big deal." It's tragic, but it seems only a matter of time until suicide bombings occur in the U.S.

Therefore it could be feasable that this is the first.

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

The grill was a joke regarding a tailgate party. A prank is possible. Lone nut possible. Terrorist possible. Terrorists (plural) possible. Kid stealing stuff from Chemistry class that accidently blew up possible. There are many things possible. I'll wait for some facts.
