If they really wanna scare people on campus they should threaten to blow up the box seats at neyland stadium.

Somebody probably just had a test they didn't study for

possibility...but there are certainly some whack jobs out there or someone forgot to study for an exam.

I don't think the entire time I was at UT that anyone phoned in a bomb threat, and frankly I was shocked considering how many parties went on every night (meaning people were getting drunk and not studying). That always seemed goofy to me, if you can't stop your partying for even one night, you've got a problem.

But as bomb threats go on a college campus, in my memory, NONE of them has ever turned out to be real. Anybody remember a real one?

very true. i attend Northern Illinois, last semester there was a threat that someone made about shooting up campus during finals week. they canceled the first day of finals as a precaution. Better safe than sorry, especially since the university knew about it. hope everything is ok at UT

When I went to UT, there wwew bomb threats on the Humanities building every day for a week. By the end of the week, we were holding class in the building, anyway. A week or so later, they caught the guys that were doing the threats -- they lived a few doors down from some of my friends.

I was P. O.ed about signing day too but it's crazy to threaten to blow up a building because of it.

We had a couple when I was there and it is amazing that both were in humanities. Both times were during exams and my professor dragged the class outside (it was spring semester) and proceeded with the exam. Some complained but the professor didn't care. I thought it was kinda cool being outside. If it had blown up we would have had a good view.

Well it's done. People can re-enter.

Anybody here the final word on this? I got the text but I don't have classes in humanities and I slept til 2 anyway...I didn't see it on the news or anything.
