That’s right, the oft-maligned football team won its first conference game in almost two years, 21-13 over Dartmouth. At a windy and rainy Wien Stadium, quarterbacks Shane Kelly and Millicent Olawale combined for 205 yards in the air, and the team also produced 193 rushing yards, as the Lions moved to 1-2 in the Ivy […]
Procrastinate close to home. Monday Jeffrey Sachs, George Soros, Nouriel Roubini: About saving the world economy. Moderated by John Roberts of CNN, formerly of CBS. We’ll LectureHop if you can’t make it. 3:30 PM @ Miller Theater. Tuesday Men’s Soccer vs. Lafayette: As Bwog noted on Friday, they’ve had a mixed season. But the uncertainty […]
The Columbia football team’s season got off to an unfortunate start this afternoon, as the team fell at home to Fordham 29-22. The Lions exploded for 22 points in the second quarter, including a 56-yard touchdown pass from Shane Kelly (10-20, for 170 yards and 2 touchdowns) to Austin Knowlin, and an interception return for […]
You read the title correctly – sports coverage on Bwog. Stop pointing at the pigs above us. We know they’re there. With the start of a new school year, we felt it was time to turn over a new leaf in the Bwog-sports relationship. In the past, we’ve generally only reported on sports either as […]
Bwog’s a little late with this item, but we didn’t want any more time to go by without congratulating the Columbia men’s soccer team on their 3-1 victory yesterday over UC Santa Barbara, who were ranked 6th in the country (and who won the national title two seasons ago). Despite being outshot 22-7, the Lions […]
A sharp-eyed tipster noticed that the rouguishly grizzled visage of erstwhile Artist-in- Residence Vaclav Havel has a near double: that of billionaire financier Kirk Kerkorian, a revolutionary in his own right. Meanwhile, our man Sunil appears to have put his foot in his mouth regarding footballer David Beckham’s move to the Los Angeles Galaxy. Bwog […]
As if trying to singlehandedly bring prosperity to Africa, or at least co-ordinate his wardrobe of fuschia, canary yellow, and shiny neon green blazers wasn’t enough, Bwog has learned that Columbia’s own (and only) Catalan economist, Xavier Sala-i-Martin, has been serving as president of FC Barcelona, which won the 2006 UEFA Champions League cup back in […]
Forty-seven years ago today, in Allahabad, India, Bwog’s favorite international soccer tycoon was born. And it took him this long to get his own Wikipedia entry. Cheers, professor!
Bwog fan Joyce Hau checks in from Berlin, where she jostled with nearly a million football fiends on the Fan Mile for the final match of the world cup between Italy and France. From Joyce: How ironic–the French have nothing to thank him for now. More from Joyce, including literal translations of German player’s last […]
Bwog would not want to be Landon Donovan–or anyone associated with the US Soccer Team–after our boys’ 2-1 loss to Ghana yesterday. Sunil was not happy. “This is where the entire world is watching,” said the United States Soccer Federation president, with the kind of icy disapproval reserved for those who confuse Lorentz curves with […]
Bwog correspondant Lucie Kroening describes football festivities in Sudetenland in the first of a summer series of dispatches from around the world. Overheard on the loudspeaker at the World of Football complex in front of the Reichstag (also live on the radio): German commentator (in English, with slight accent): Today the USA is playing against […]
