As promised, Bwog dragged itself out of bed for the 10th annual Fun Run earlier this morning to report on the University’s attempt to include us less able-bodied in the athletic community. PrezBo himself was truckin’ along in a shuffle, working up a sweat alongside the students, his hair uncharacteristically unkempt, his Timex at the […]
