UPDATE: Nada, zip.
Some asshole called in saying they were al qaeda. Really? Credible threat which means what exactly? Do we have more sleeper cells in this country?

Evacuation due to threats on campus. Immediately evacuate ALL buildings and get as far away as possible. More information to come.
via Emergency Information | The University of Texas at Austin.
UT Director of Communications Rhonda Weldon said the university got a call around 8:35 a.m. from a male with a Middle Eastern accent claiming to have placed bombs all over campus.
He said he was with al-Qaida and that these bombs would go off in 90 minutes.
Someone want a day off today?

Middle East accent? Not so hard to fake, but could be genuine, and credib;e to us because Muslims only know how to harm. Where are their Nobel Prizes in medicine?

This was an easy out for the kids. There are 50,000 students at UT. That doesn’t include faculty. The fact that they have an operating nuclear reactor underground is probably the reason that they evacuated the entire area. Well, save for the stadium. Big game tomorrow.
