I guess my point was, if it had been an "isolated incident" and a "simple suicide," why the need for the beefed up security? Why even question feelings of safety? Until April 1995, I always felt safe in this area, far safer than in other parts of the country. Certainly people commit suicide all the time--but this is the first time I've ever seen security increased when someone did it.

That said, I hope the Sooners have gotten their mojo back! This game is cause for hope!

Personally think it woke them up to the lax security we had a games and getting more lax as time went on -- what popped out at me in the Boren letter to season ticket holders was the quick response for Government grants.

If this was a "real" suicide from a depressed kid no way would all of these measures been taken IMHO. If they had not found all those explosives in his apartment, am sure they would have gotten away with the lone depressed bomber theory but the amount of explosives and his attempting to buy ammonimum nitrate put a whole new face on everything. That is why I believe we had incresed security -- no one is taking a chance.

Concrete barriers everywhere around that stadium. Something that no one has asked is if he tried to get his car into the South Oval area reserved for media, donors, and buses.
