Tom Langston, a Bio-Chem major currently studying for a very difficult final, was reportedly in Thompson Library during the long-awaited Big 10 championship and so has no idea that the entire world is basically over.
Diligently pouring over his books and reviewing practice questions, Mr. Langston was seen to rub his eyes and go for a cup of coffee while, just outside his ignorant paradise, everyone he loves is sobbing into a piece of scarlet or grey memorabilia. He returned to his seat near the window, ready to learn, not realizing that civilization was teetering on the brink of destruction, and any minute The Oval might burst into flame.
Around 11 PM, Mr. Langston reportedly furrowed his brow with frustration at several students watching the game live on a computer, their sense of reality crashing down around them. Unaware of the soul-crushing, earth-shattering disappointment they were experiencing, he, from a distance, rudely asked them to “keep it down” while others were working.
The Sundial asked Mr. Langston for comment on the game:
“Oh – was that tonight? I’ve just been so wrapped up in school work I completely forgot. How did it go?” he replied while the human spark of hope died and our souls were pitched into eternal darkness.
