Title: Worth discussion over here
Post by: WildCatzPhreak on May 04, 2007, 09:44:53 AM
Did anyone go to the K-state/OU game two years ago?  I did.

If so, do you remember that loud explosion?  I remember freakin' out when I heard the noise, but I looked around and noticed that none of the sooner fans were worried or even looked like they had noticed anything happened.  I remember saying the exact words "Well, if they're not worried, then we probably don't have anything to worry about.  Must've been some fireworks that went off early or something.."  We all got back to the game.  (A horrible, HORRIBLE game btw, but that's a different story.)

Turns out a kid had blown himself up not too far away from the stadium.  And also that he tried to get into the stadium, where if the bomb had gone off could have killed hundreds/thousands of people, but the security wouldn't let him in with his backpack.

Well, now OU is erecting a memorial/statue on campus for this kid.

Maybe it's just me, but I think erecting a memorial for a kid that tried to kill me is &@#%ing insane.

That is insane, I hope Oklahoman's are the ones paying for this, and not a federal project.  Weird that people would honor an attempted suicide bomber, when does Timothy McVeigh get his statue?

Very little.  Most of our football fans are idiots.

I didn't go to the game but I do remember hearing about that shortly after the game.  It was true.

I hear Oklahoma is also erecting a statue for the KSU
punter that forgot to show up on 4th down.......



PS. I was also at that game, and remember all the
cops in that blocked off area when we left the stadium.

That is a little crazy. Kind of like how the Shockers erected a statue of a millipede on their campus. It was either that or a SafeRide program.

That should knock them out of the BCS equation for good.

Because of him, I couldn't get a pass to leave at halftime to get a beer (or 6) which was definitely needed after the first half.

OU's just pissed that Virginia Tech is getting all this free publicity.

Didn't he blow himself up right beside our FB teams bus?

I was in Norman for the game, but we couldn't get tickets, so we watched it at a bar across the street.

Negative: the game sucked.
Positive: the OU fans in the bar took pity on us (the only K-State fans in that particular establishment) and bought us drink after drink all night long.

This has about as much relevance to this thread as another Prague story.

I watched this game half passed out on my coach couch from drinking all day long.  I think I got up around half time and made a couple of grilled cheese sammys for dinner and maybe poured yet another vodka.  Can't remember what else I did later than night but I think I went out with the GF after el-gamo was el-overo and hung outo.

No I'm not a prince with a coach/horse drawn carriage.  It was a simple typo on my part, I will go back and edit my faux pas as to not confuse any of our cubs.
