Matt Ryan walks off the field after losing Super Bowl 51.

Over 111 million people watched the Super Bowl on Sunday night, so it should really be no shock to you why there's a dark cloud hanging over the state of Georgia right now. After the loss, a Georgia Southern college professor let his students know there would be no class on Monday, on account of the fact that the damn Falcons couldn't protect a 25-point second half lead.

That professor, Multimedia Film and Production instructor Tyson Davis, sent out a note immediately following the historic choke to let his pupils know this was not the time to worry about their education.

"We will not have class tomorrow. I am in mourning," Davis said. "I don't want to talk or discuss the Falcons on Wednesday unless someone wants to make the argument that they intentionally threw the game, because there isn't a better explanation for such a loss.

"We will resume class on Wednesday. See y'all then."

We're guessing Davis's consolation is better than nothing.

Davis wasn't the only person in the area not worrying about school, as a number of local students gave excuses such as "Falcons depression," and "[Failure] to rise up," as excuses why they were late.

SMH. No need to sugarcoat it; it's going to be a miserable offseason Atlanta fans. Fortunately (if you're 18+) we know just the people to turn to cheer yourselves up.
