Langston University is a public university located 40 miles north of Oklahoma City. It is the only HBCU (historically black college/university) in Oklahoma and the country's westernmost.
The Langston University Quiz Bowl team burst onto the "main circuit" in January 2007. They competed at the Sword Bowl mirror at the University of Oklahoma. Despite some lopsided losses, the team still remained somehow overconfident-receiving the most minus fives. From that point, Langston Quiz Bowl was re-born. Appearing in the Norwegian Blue Juniorbird NAQT tournament at Oklahoma State, Langston may or may not have won the Consolation Bracket Championship, maintaining the tradition of outrageous negatives and partially correct answers. Langston persevered to earn a top five finish at ACF Fall Southwest 2008.
Langston hosted the Edwin P. McCabe Scholars Bowl in October 2007, an NAQT tournament won by Oklahoma Bible Academy. The second installment of this tournament was held on September 27, 2008. The second tournament saw an increase from six to seventeen teams, with Edmond Santa Fe defeating Edmond Memorial for the Championship. Timberlake, a school of seventy-five students, defeated Moore for third place. The third tournament was won by Edmond Memorial, with a victory over Oklahoma Bible Academy.
Langston regularly competes on the HCASC circuit and has participated in Sword Bowl, NAQT Norwegian Juniorbird, ACF Fall, and the Golden Hurricane (Illinois Open Mirror) Open. Langston University is scheduled to participate in the Know Your Heritage Black College Quiz Show, in December 2008, which shall air nationwide during Black History Month. Langston semi-frequently scrimmages with Oklahoma State. Edwin Bryant lead Langston to the Sweet Sixteen as Captain in 2010, in his final year on the team.
