With Halloween being on a Saturday, it’s as if everyone got a do-over with their costumes tonight. So there’s no excuse: send us your best costumes to bwog@columbia.edu by midnight tomorrow, and hope for yet another piece of candy. Oh, and apparently Daylight Saving Time ends tonight? Not cool.

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.

Bwa-ha-ha-ha! The Orphanage (2007) The […]
