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.

As someone who was not there I would like to reiterate that what you saw and heard did not happen

"UPDATE: Joel Hinrichs, 21, engineering junior, is the identity released at the press conference as the suicide bomber.
What is the source of this information?"

Well, it WAS on the Daily Oklahoman website, I think. Now I don't see it.

Two important posts by BlackRain that covers this well:

This is all starting to sound like the authorities DID get a tip and kept it under wraps.

Yes, Starwise, it is beginning to sound curiouser and curiouser, to be honest.

I am sitting here in shock at the mention of car bombs

If I were you, I would wait to be shocked at the actual existence of car bombs, rather than just the mention.

Even if this was the guy killed then there are still many possibilities left that do not exclude it being terrorism.

"Joel H Hinricks"

again, wrong spelling; it's Hinrichs.

[MizSterious]

Interesting that he was likely an engineer. So was Atta, if memory serves. And why pull the website? Wonder if it's cached anywhere?

I did not see a thing or hear anything! I have been reprogrammed.

[RasterMaster]

"...his name doesn't suggest a Jihadist."

Neither does Richard Reed or Johnny Walker-Lind among others.

[MizSterious]

But then, neither did Richard Reid...look for religious affiliations, or possibly political...

That link says the 2 apt. complexes may be related to the suicide. WTF? (and I don't use that expression often).

[Old Student]

quite true. Need more facts.

[Revolting cat!]

Rumsfeld's Law - the first reports are usually wrong.

Yep! We don't know that we don't know what we don't know!

LOL susie

Probably never put anything on it in the first place. If he did, they pulled it b/c he's and b/c it's evidence.

[BlackRain]

Hey Bob, what did you do Sunday?

Oh, Hi Ted. I just sprayed suicide bomber guts off of buses in Oklahoma. And you?

What? Where is the media? I did hear anything about this!
