Basketball Mania is today, from 9:00pm to 10:00pm in Levien Gymnasium. For those of you who don’t do sports, Levien Gymnasium is the wood-paneled basketball gym in the Dodge Fitness Center. Don’t worry about trying to find it. Everyone else will be just as lost. Still, try to get there on time, because the first […]

In a valiant effort to drum up anticipation for the homecoming game against UPenn, the various student council groups on campus have been organizing a series of events. Yesterday, for the first time, the pep rally was held on Low Steps instead of in Dodge gym. This may also be the reason why this is […]

Bwog has received the most…scintillating….tip that the Columbia University Marching Band is shooting an amateur pornography video for submission to the annual HUMP! festival. Characters as diverse as tubas, oboes, and *accordions* may be appropriated as anatomical substitutions for their sick, sick pleasure. If you know what we mean. In response to our frantic inquiries, […]

Today’s intermittent thunderstorms drove most NSOPers and Bwog indoors to seek shelter, leading to a pretty damn quiet Wednesday on campus. Some overheards were had, and even formed some distinct themes, proving that after only a few days here, the class of 2017 is already learning how Columbians complain. Overseen: The ever-entertaining Marching Band was […]

In the first Senior Wisdom of the day we bring you the wonderful James Bennett II, star of Columbia’s Harlem Shake, Sensual Sundays, the International Butler Anthem, WKCR jazz shows, your dreams, and so on and so forth… Name, Hometown, School: James A. Bennett, II; Baltimore, MD (the original Bay Area- Chesapeake what up); Columbia College […]

Today’s First Senior Wisdom: Tyler Benedict, from CUMB and other annoying things. Want to get more annoyed? Go watch him read at Orgo Night tonight. Name, Hometown, School: Tyler Benedict; Dayton, OH; CC. Claim to fame? I’m the annoying guy from Orgo Night and all those CUMB videos. For a brief moment I was also annoying on TV. Where are you […]

The Columbia University Marching Band is stepping away from their traditionally controversial and caustic content, and moving towards sheer seduction. Do you want to express your love for your peers in a seductive tone that neither your awkward agitated attitude nor CU Admirers can properly express? In a new series they started yesterday, CUMB’s James […]

After  Zeta Beta Tau lost their charter to a hazing scandal and all the controversy that followed, CUMB pounced at the chance to make fun of the situation with a moving account of the memories that will remain as ZBT leaves us. We found the Breakfast Club music incredibly fitting and CUMB’s absolute lack of compunction hilarious.

Let’s recap: on Thursday Dean Shollenberger condemned the Marching Band for their posters about Orgo Night in an email sent to all undergrads. In a meeting with Shollenberger, he explained that the posters were brought to his attention by students who felt marginalized by them. On Monday night, a meeting was held with a coalition of students […]

The Columbia Marching Band has not always been known for their political correctness, and this time around it seems as if they have taken their controversial humor a step too far. Many people were offended by their Orgo Night “Gaza Strip: everyone wants a piece” promo fliers and took to notifying the administration. Following this, […]

Update: Columbia Lions won its second Empire State Bowl with a 34-17 victory against Cornell! For those still reeling from our 0-69 loss to Harvard football, here is something to perk up your (school) spirits. At today’s home game against Cornell (The Empire State Bowl), our beloved CUMB have been at it again:

The semesterly tradition of filling Butler 209 to capacity happened last night, and for all those who missed out on the swampy experience (the B.O. levels rivaled Butler 409) we present a short collection of thoughts, observations, and Instagram-y photos cobbled together at a surprisingly empty 1020 (thank you Lit Hum and CC finals!).  The […]

Name, Hometown, School: Jose Alberto Delgado, Brownsville, TX, Columbia College Claim to Fame: Marching Band Banned headlines, I woke up to 10 emails from journalists asking for interviews one day and was called like 30 different times by radio stations, newspapers, and magazines. I also organized a performance for a party attended by LeBron James, Chris Paul, […]

Tonight, Tyler Benedict, CC ’13, and Poet Laureate of the Columbia University Marching Band, will compete in the Jeopardy! College Championship. Slightly less obscene than Celebrity Jeopardy!, the College Championship brings together 15 college students to answer trivia and make cheesy promo videos for the chance to win $10,000. The show will air at 7:00 […]

Update: The band has provided a video showcasing assorted jokes and songs from last night. Relive the action below. Last night, Butler 209 played host to Orgo Night, one of Columbia’s time-honored traditions and the reason many upperclassmen choose to move off campus. Bwog will have a full review later today, but for now, check […]
