If you are half as much a caffeine addict as the average University student, you might not have noticed something untoward and thoroughly SHADY happening at two of your local purveyors of bean.

Last weekend, Bernie Sanders held a rally at the University of Iowa encouraging students to vote for him in the primary today. But this wasn’t just an ordinary rally – it was also a concert, featuring indie rock group Vampire Weekend. Bernie even sang “This Land Is Your Land” on stage with the band. (NY […]

In an in-depth analysis of Zayn’s new single, we’ve discovered that he may have been singing about none other than Bwog itself. See for yourself.   Climb on (the executive) board. We’ll go slow (with the pitches, so you can keep up). So we’ll piss off the neighbors (aka everyone else in SGO, because we’re […]

We the people of Bwog aren’t exactly known for our ability to carefully make decisions…after all, just look at how we spend our weekends? This paucity becomes especially apparent during our pitch meetings, when we come up with our posts for the week. In this piece, our staff recount some of their favorite article ideas that never made it to our site. Shots In Butler […]

Happy birthday to us! How else would we at Bwog celebrate but with a party and a playlist to go along with it?
