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.

Always the Big-12

No, but there will be a FEMA halftime show.

So a suicide carries a spare bomb? I think not.

This year, Ramadan coincides with Rosh Hashanah, from sundown 3 Oct 05, and all day 4 Oct 05.

The plot thickens.

"They're all there. This is no ordinary suicide."

The Saudis have leveraged themselves into Viacom and Fox? Details?

"No, but there will be a FEMA halftime show."

And they'll probably be running 20 minutes late. [ \ sarc ]

Agreed.

Pipe bombs near football game = terrorist attack.

Oh shucks...You figured it out!! Can you spell L O N D O N ?

Hmm, who would build a pipe bomb just for their suicide ? Sounds a bit odd.

Hopefully they will recognize it for the sarcasm that it is.

I am still amazed that this story is being embargoed.

Speaking of Bush, just where is he tonight. He should have known about this in time to stop it. So what if Bush has a Supreme Court Justice to appoint, he should be there: RIGHT NOW.

YA! This is all Bush's fault. He coulda shoulda woulda stopped this from happening.

I think I'd rather avoid the usual hysteria and rumor mongering that follows in the wake of initial reporting, and wait until we have concrete details to follow up on this with.

It has been my experience here, on FR, that sometimes things heard on the news and posted here, are not heard again, until the INVESTIGATION.

There are probably Ramadan stamps at the post office. Better stock up soon.

[TomGuy]

Nope. No sign of terrorism.

[Right Wing Assault]

He coulda shoulda woulda stopped this from happening.

But remember, he WANTED it to happen. Isn't that the next part?

[Just A Nobody]

...trying to avoid a stampede panic, I'd probably go with the "it's a suicide" theory...

Exactly what I was thinking.

I think it was just a football savy fan. Explosion sounded while K state was trying to audible out of a bad play..... :)

Dammit! I wish you people wouldn't delete posts! Especially when they are adressed to me! Thinking of the blind leading the blind as moderators of this forum lately.
