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.
NORMAN -- An explosion near the University of Oklahoma's Gaylord Family-Memorial Stadium killed one person Saturday, OU officials said.
Update from KOCO-5. Bomb squads continue to search the area west of the stadium with dogs and robots, looking for other devices. No one will be allowed to exit on the west side. This will complicate fans efforts to leave the stadium, but as of now the fans and stadium are not believed to be in immediate danger.
Remember we are still in the foggy period. I bet you even the TV guy really doesn't know what has really happened 30 minutes after this thing has gone off.
Let's wait for about 4-8 more hours.
Doesn't seem to be making the Tulsa area news yet.
I haven't heard about a 2nd device. Hope it's not true... just relaying what I heard.
2 devices is no prank.
If I were trying to clear a stadium with thousands of spectators and was trying to avoid a stampede panic, I'd probably go with the "it's a suicide" theory...move along nothing to see...
Rival dorm? Good God man. When I was in college some of the idiots 'streaked'. No one on campus was pissed enough to go to pipe bombs because a rival dorm rangled them. Has college come to this?
CNN is talking about the typhoon in Taiwan. WTF...?
Could have been a stunned beeber set on overlord
Linky no worky!
Yes, and it coincides with Hebrew New Year this year--which doesn't happen all that often.
Possibly. However, there is no possible way national news would permit heavy rotation for a bombing of a college football game. That would be just about as close to off limits as I can think of. Furthermore, it would be necesary to have a cover story in place...now.

Here's a campus map. No. 31, the Botany/MicroB building, is not near the stadium.
Your link doesn't work
Yeah...typed too fast...see new one above.
"Yes, and it coincides with Hebrew New Year this year--which doesn't happen all that often."
Quite correct.
You know, the jihadists could cause more trouble by going after several smaller targets than a couple larger ones. It would cause more disruption.
