One of the other posters on another OU fan forum (not the one where I post) said they heard the 2nd detonation, that it was muffled, but felt the same. He said it was "south of the South Oval" and heard it while he was walking to his car.

Officials say the bomb detonated 100 yards west of the stadium near the George Lynn Cross Hall, Botany-Microbiology Building. Explosive experts brought in bomb dogs and located a second device, which was later safely detonated.

Some 84,000 fans were not allowed to leave the game until late in the 4th quarter, after another sweep of the building. The bomb squad also swept the stadium before the game began and found no explosives inside. No one inside the stadium was injured.

Despite the circumstances, the fans remained calm. "It sounded like two explosions very close together," stated one person who heard the blast. "The seats rattled a little bit. We didn't know anything until the game was over."

If so, then the second device was detonated well after the event, because the first happened in the 2nd quarter, I believe(?).

If it happened, then they're going to have a hard time suppressing what many, many thousands of people must have heard. On the other hand, maybe atttendees would have just thought it was Rufneks' celebrations or something I suppose.

Being a Cowboy fan, I can report that in Stillwater we're having the opposite problem -- a complete lack of explosiveness. ;-)
