Not content with battling it out in the U.S. News and World Report rankings, the Ivies are throwing it down by way of that most gentlemanly of pastimes: war! Or rather, inter-campus computerized simulations of games that simulate war! Kind of!
Our buddies at GoCrossCampus have organized an Ivy League championship. While Columbia hasn’t won a single outright basketball or football championship in the League, we all know that cross-country Risk is the glamour sport of the future. So take up arms, Columbians! Let our arrows blot out the sun! We’ll make Princeton pine for 1777! Hoohah!

Our extensive knowledge of ancient Greek military history should give us the edge, obviously. Join the ranks, Columbians!
@Clearly We should just leave one army in Fairfield to fend off the Yalie horde while we gather our strength towards the south – it worked in the movie!
@Off-topic but Pinkberry just opened!
@Glad to see that they didn’t include Barnard on the map.

@the truth there will be no day more glorious than when the legions of Columbia march into Harvard Yard and destroy the statue of John Harvard and replace it with a replica of Alma Mater….
@apparently nobel peace prize winner doris lessing loves the pres bo http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D8SEFAKG0&show_article=1 (is it that hard to get the ‘u’ correct in columbia?)
@Literature Lessing won for literature. Al Gore won for peace.
Tip-off that she didn’t win for peace: Lessing was quoted using the word ‘hate’ four times in that interview–directed at Ahmadinejad and Tony Blair. I’m glad to see that she’s got her priorities in line…
@DHI Nah, all the Nobel Prizes are the Nobel Peace Prize. It’s the Nobel Peace Prize for Chemistry, Nobel Peace Prize for Literature, etc.
@hmm curious Was that joking/sarcasm, or a statement of fact? I really can’t tell.
@Clarification It’s a reference to a mistake Kanye West made in a sketch a few weeks back on SNL. Jeez, who doesn’t know that?
