This past Friday’s away game for Columbia Basketball at Michigan State ended with a win for MSU at a score of 62-53. However, a front-page Reddit post has sparked off-topic at times heated discussion over MSU fans shouting the wrong shot clock countdowns, causing Columbia to take their shots at the wrong times.

Bwog is an intellectual who loves all poetry even if it’s bad. Poetic Justice Bwogger Claire Friedman journeyed to the annual Philolexian Society’s Bad Poetry Contest and recounted the beautiful performances. If you’ve never had the occasion to think, “wow, what a romantic poem about the NSA,” you’ve obviously never been to the Philolexian Society’s […]

You may have heard about Columbia’s triumphant near-win last night. Baller Jeremy Sherman brings you the inside scoop.

This weekend, CMTS is presenting alums Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel. The final performance is tomorrow at 2 pm in Roone. Bwog editor Alexandra Svokos caroused. Before I get into a review of CMTS’s Carousel, I have to get one thing out of the way: to our modern Columbia sensibilities, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Carousel is, well, problematic. The female […]
