Since the Ivy schedule came out, analysts have pegged this game as the game to determine the fate of the basketball season. March has come, and those predictions have come true. Columbia (21-9, 10-3 Ivy) may be out of the title picture, but they have a completely precedented opportunity to play spoiler to Yale (21-6, 12-1 […]

In a new Bwog feature, we go into Butler Library to explore some of the most checked-out books at Columbia. Once we find them, we look not at the content of the literature but at the discourse around them. The notes written in by generations of students, if they don’t illuminate some new feature of […]

In the second year of the Sexual Respect Initiative, Columbia has offered more workshops and more sessions of each option. It has also hidden the availability of the Arts Option inside of the “Create Your Own Project” category and supposedly responded to the feedback of students and faculty. What does all of this change mean […]

Sports editor Ross Chapman has had many exes over the years, but none of them have scorned him quite so harshly as Ivy League Basketball. In this open letter, he explains why – and yes, it has to do with the possibility of a threeway. To Ivy League Basketball, You drive me wild. These days, I can’t […]

Something’s got to give in the Ivy League. This weekend, Columbia said, “not us.” Another week of Ivy basketball has passed, and the top three teams have refused to cede any ground. Columbia, Yale, and Princeton all went 2-0. The Lions, unstable after dropping their first home game last week, bounced back in the strongest […]

“Did Columbia blow it or did Princeton swipe it away? Yes.” Ivy Hoops Online’s Mike Tony perfectly described Saturday night’s game at Levien, and perhaps the season for Columbia as a whole. Through a series of improbable events, a slew of amazing shots, and a pair of Princeton players who refused to go quietly into […]

Among the many other dance and music groups at Columbia, the fact that our school has both a swing dance group and a big band is often easily forgotten. But recent collaboration between the two groups has put on an event that was – according to senior staffer Ross Chapman – pretty memorable, both for […]

Columbia and Yale have been held down for far too long. These two teams haven’t been to the NCAA tournament since the 60’s, but are now both 4-0 and will face off tonight at 5 p.m. in New Haven. The winner of the match will have the inside track to securing the Ivy League title, […]

Intrepid Bwogger Ross Chapman ventured to writer Mary Roach’s lecture at CU for a night of debauchery, drinking, and dirty secrets about the Department of Defense. Read on for the less-dramatized details. “Turns out, diarrhea can be a threat to national security.” Dodge 501 was filled to the brim with (mostly wine-drinking) students last night […]

Shopping period is ending soon, so it’s time to pick your classes. But between absurd prerequisites, teacher approvals, and the outdated course bulletin, registration is nearly impossible! How screwed will you be come the deadline?

This year was supposed to be awful for Columbia women’s basketball. In the Ivy League preseason poll, they weren’t just picked last, they were picked last hard, with a majority of writers projecting them at the bottom of the pack. And who could blame them? Last season, Columbia was 2-12 in conference. Their three top […]

It’s getting cold outside, and this weekend doesn’t bode well for us. But how should you personally deal with it?

We know that finals season means that every minute of studying is valuable. We also know that a lot of students on campus just don’t care about a lot of the athletics teams.
