When Bwog rolled out of bed this morning and checked iCal, we counted two weeks of classes left, so we naturally assumed we were miscounting because we hadn’t had our morning Joe yet. Upon post-caffeination recount, we still counted two, and quickly resorted to running around our room screaming like a little kid in the […]

This season has not been kind to Columbia football, to say the least. And, for those of you who didn’t tune into today’s game, the Lions suffered a 41-62 loss at the hands of the Cornell’s Big Red, which is actually a bear. (No more random than Dartmouth’s mascot, so we’ll cut the Ithacans some […]

Unbury that school spirit and come out to support Columbia football take on Penn at Homecoming. The pre-game picnic starts at 12:30pm and the game kicks off at 3:30. But the festivities last all day: there’s a carnival from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m., where kids can get their faces painted while adults remember the good ‘ol […]

Slovenian Philosopher Slavoj Žižek taught “Radicalism 101“, in Zuccotti Park yesterday. (He’ll be at Columbia this Wednesday). Meanwhile, the protest has spread to 25 cities. (The Observer/CBS News) Barnard Political Science professor Sheri Berman writes a scathing review of a book about conservatism that claims the ideology is about subjugating society’s lowest. (NY Times) Giuliani is […]

Last night’s CCSC meeting began at 8:03 instead of the usual 8:05 because there was a general consensus that it was important to get back to watching the Jets game as soon as possible. Brian Wagner, Bwog’s sideline reporter, has the latest. The Council began with a review of its autumnal accomplishments. 9 resolutions were passed: […]

Butler was rated 4th most beautiful library in the country!  If only the judges knew what a wretched hive of scum and villainy it is during exams when there are people in it. (CampusGrotto) Nissan wants us to buy their fancy-pants eco-friendly car, the Leaf.  Unfortunately, it doesn’t perform well in extreme temperatures.  And do […]

Princeton’s marching band wended through campus this morning, terrorizing students with upbeat marching band tunes. Quelle horreur! The orange-clad individuals have committed such crazed acts in the past. The visit may or may not have been related to the Columbia-Princeton football game today at 12:30 p.m. on Robert. K. Kraft Field. Update: COLUMBIA WON! REJOICE!

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. But Yale scored less than three minutes later, and then again with under a minute to play, […]

And it all looked so promising two weeks ago: rather than rebounding from its Homecoming loss to Penn, the football team’s season spiraled further out of control this afternoon, with a 28-6 loss at Dartmouth. Quarterback Millicent Olawale was a poor 12 of 32 for 89 yards, including two interceptions, though he and On the […]

Yesterday, we pointed out that the last time Columbia won its opening Ivy League game of the season was at Princeton, six years ago. That game was a close 33-27 win; this time, the Lions sent a message to the rest of the Ivy League with a 38-0 stomping of the Tigers, in Princeton.  The […]

When star wide receiver Austin Knowlin scored in the 2nd quarter to put Columbia up 13-0 over Central Connecticut State, the football team looked well on its way to a second victory of the season. But Central Connecticut blocked and returned the ensuing PAT, and then scored on three of its next four possessions, to […]
