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.

That's how we got into the show years ago....when you could stay all day. We came in the exit door when the movie was letting out. We saved a dime....Wow....But it bought an ice cream cone back then. Big Wow!!

Yeah, just your typical suicide: FBI, Homeland Security, etc. are on it. Nothing to see here, folks. Move along... Move along!!!!!

Relax, folks. It was probably a right-wing extremist. On his way to bomb an abortion clinic when he set himself off prematurely.

Or maybe it was Richard Jewell.

No need for the FBI. This is clearly a case for Chief Moose and Eddie Compass.

No terrorist...they would have done it in day time. More casualties in day time.

More folks in the daytime than during a football game at OU?

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

You must have gone to a Div. III or an NAIA school. A quick Google shows that the stadium holds over 75,000.

Brother-in-law had tularemia about 20yrs ago...very sick for about 10 days. He was misdiagnosed twice before they finally realized what he had...then his recovery was fairly swift. OK has quite a few cases every year, mostly hunters or avid outdoor types.

There has been much speculation here about nationality but that will come out. What our government would really not want us to know is, that a suicide bomber came into the country illegally through our southern border. The politicians who have sold this nation out, would rather have a suicide bomber come through legal channels under the noses of homeland security than admit that the lack of political will to police our borders is in fact our greatest danger.

Hi zeaal-

"...Not only would there have been certain death for the people around the bomber but also the injuries and possible deaths as a result of panic..."


You've got to read Enemies Foreign & Domestic by our very own Travis McGee. It is truly an outstanding read that touches on this very topic.

We all know how those Amish dudes are.

They're the ones who make the wooden pipe bombs.

How to recognize Amish terrorists.

What is ELF?

Earth Liberation Front. They are the terrorist arm of the environmental movement. They are the ones that destroyed all those hummers out in san francisco a few years ago.

Hmmm.....KWCH did a better job. Even interviewed an OU cameraman who saw the smoke from the bomb. Mentioned another device was found and detonated.

There is something in the air for the Government to have thought about issuing biochemical supplies to Seattle this month.

That's interesting. Do you have any more information, or a link, on that?

....I'm with you. I'm aware of the Hamas cell in OK and I don't believe the OKC bombing was just those two either....

An Al qaeda cell, as well. There are several old threads regarding Nick Berg's meeting w/ 2oth hijacker Zacarias Moussaoui at U of Oklahoma in the Freeper archives.

Or planted by another party.

IMHO, insufficient evidence, but good basis for investigators to publically announce it as an isolated event, while rigorously investigating all angles of this in the background.

Many campus' are fairly vacant in the Sci/engr buildings during ball games or other social events. A handful of grad students working aren't conspicuous. Prime time for either an alienated individual to become overly depressed and seek a suicide opportunity unimpeded by outsiders, or other ulterior motives.

On the other hand it might also be a good time to use, misuse, or intrude into facilities with minimal risk.

Insufficient information,..the rest is merely conjecture, bits and pieces (no pun intended).

earth liberation fund. They are the nuts who hang out in trees and I beleive they have been linked to burning down buildings and I think they also had a car bomb blow up with 3 elf fanatics in it about 10 years ago.

The ELVES are a radical ecoterrorist group. Earth Liberation Front..

They are responsible for spiking trees in old growth forests, burning down under construction housing developments and burning lots full of new, unsold hummers and other SUVs.

Basically, the are granola crunching dirty hippy versions of Al Quaeda.
