All joking aside, if it was some kind of Islamic ultra-conspiracy, I'd think they would have waited until next weekened, when it would get national media attention (the OU/UT game will be broadcast nationwide, and it takes place alongside the Texas state fair - several hundred thousand people will be there).

Good point. But this could have been a practice run that went awry.

What practice is needed, when it comes to suicide bombing?

When it comes to that kind of thing, either you push the button or call the #, or you don't.

On top of that, having any kind of practice run with a live bomb, is foolish in the extreme.
