Anything involving the New Jersey Nets—literally, anything. Being Hofstra and having a football team… wait, really? Drinking your alcohol. UPDATE: A commenter has notified us of a Columbia-related news item – James […]

Columbia Wants 60 Seconds of Your Time…

By Bwog Staff on Dec 03, 2009 7 Comments

To complete the “Campus Tobacco Student Poll,” which went out to pre-selected students’ inboxes earlier this evening. An informal and shockingly unscientific poll of Blue and White/Bwog staffers leads us to guesstimate that if you didn’t get an invite, you probably know several people who did (unless you really don’t get out that much).
