A Call to Arms: For God, For Country, For Bwog

Two years ago, we at Bwog lost the U.S. News and World Report‘s “Paper Trail” blog’s Best [Campus] Alternative Media Outlet poll to Wesleyan after some crotchety commenters lampooned their granola-eating ways and they retaliated en masse. We lost last year, too.

This year, we have another foe: Yale. That’s right, now you have the chance to reject them.

What makes this battle even more worth fighting is that the Yale blog is based out of one single residential college. That’s like a blog for Wien (albeit a beautiful, wonderful Wien with its own library and cafeteria) winning this whole contest. Egregious. And while we lower our lances at Yale, we also set our sights at Penn State. You may have an undergrad population of six million, but we have the fervor to best you.

Vote now, vote on multiple computers, whatever it takes. You have until midnight on February 17th. Do it for Bwog, because we’d do it for you.

Second to One

It wasn’t exactly a nailbiter, but the final poll results are in: Bwog got stomped in US News’ poll for “Best Alternative Media Outlet,” coming in second to the Blogspot sensation Wesleying. Our pride, it’s hurting a little bit. In their winner’s circle interview, Wesleying seemed a little disgruntled about how we initially pitched the contest, which included an appeal to Columbia’s pallid ego. For the record, we’re really not Ivy snobs — we just didn’t want to be beat by anyone, anywhere.

And we both sank a blog at Harvard, so high-five, buds.

Meanwhile, the rest of the world seems to be more in the loop than we are: the best story of the year went to Zachary Fox of USC for fighting the powers that be, that central government of ours has caused some price-hikes in the pill, and President Gordon Gee of Vanderbilt is a pimp-and-a-half.
