When running back Leon Ivery ran in the two-point conversion to give Columbia a 22-10 lead over Yale with only 8:32 to go, Norries Wilson’s team had to be confident about returning to .500 in the Ivy League.

Bwoglines: Forgetting Something?

By Bwog Staff on Oct 31, 2009 3 Comments

When writing a whole column about ROTC at Ivy League schools, do not mention Columbia’s survey last fall. (Times) Despondent over lack of dates? Manhattan’s 50% single!
