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 is Parkview Apartments. There are some white guys hang out at the Islamic Center -- Berg was one of them.

Until I put mine up, it showed the same thing his does. Mine sat there for a year or two before I started putting anything on it.

PDATE: 4:25 p.m. — Parkview Apartments, 606 Stenson Drive, and Ashley Apartments, 1415 George Ave., were evacuated at about 7 a.m. this morning and may be connected to the suicide bombing Saturday night on the South Oval. The evacuees were taken to local hotels, OU President David L. Boren said. OU Department of Public Safety said earlier today that there is a possibility of car explosives in the parking lot of the two apartment complexes. A bomb squad member is suited and headed toward Parkview now. The OU DPS, Norman Police Department and the FBI are currently investigating the scene at the complexes. OUPD are also at the scene of the bombing, but are waiting for the bus drivers to return to the buses still parked in the South Oval

She was in her car and on the way to the DU house when I called her. She only knows him in the course of her duties of her job at the Center for Student Life. I will get back to you when I learn more.

Bomb squads? Gee, ya think maybe the'd wanna look around the apartment and parking lot of a kid who bombed himself? I'd only be concerned if they didn't send the bomb squad. But, as they say, that's just me.

That would be a good explanation of the cell phone outage if it only happened after the bomb.

Well there is the reported near simultaneous cell phone outages near other Big 12 games being played that night. I don't give that too much weight because I've experienced cell phone problems in a Big 12 football stadium myself. And that game was no big deal, even though the stadium was full.

ONE STUDENT KILLED IN BOMBING AT OKLAHOMA UNIVERSITY DURING KANSAS STATE-OKLAHOMA FOOTBALL GAME

It's probably foolish to assume that Fox cares anything about accuracy, but if the authorities don't know the identity of the exploded one, how would Fox know it's a student?

it's possible.

Depends on the device used and how much explosive there was.

Of course if they weren't carrying one, that would negate it.

It would depend on when they posted that headline, as the kid's name has been released today as the victim/bomber.

Makes me nervous too. Wish I could remember the name. Channel 9 just reported that terrorism has NOT been ruled out.

"You are correct, that a 61 yr old man did not do this!"


No but, his 40 something year old son's son who is around 20 could have.

Just a guess but that might be the grandfather. Since this guy was the III.

Dogs AND they search players and personnel coming into the stadium.

There was a big stink made about it last year when the Michigan players and staff had their bags and equipment searched.

they do sweeps in the stadium before anyone is in and then afterwards as well....

It is likely his father. He is a "third."
