Bwog’s resident Boy Archer Zach Kagan paid a visit to the Archery Club and learned a thing or two about shooting arrows. Arms straight. Bow extended, resting under the chin.

Since its creation, Bwog has been notoriously light on sports coverage, mostly because the majority of us know nothing about them. Still, every now and then, even we can’t help but get caught up in all the sporting excitement.

Imitating Wikileaks—it’s a thing! Assange-wannabes across the globe are creating their own whistle-blowing websites. (Reuters) P. Diddy is being sued for $1 trillion by a woman in Los Angeles for, among other things, causing the 9/11 terrorist attacks, putting her son (who he apparently fathered) in the hospital, and stealing her poker chip worth “zillions […]

Sports news, for real! Hudson Taylor, Columbia’s new assistant wrestling coach, is pretty awesome. A three-time all-American wrestler while at the Division I University of Maryland, Taylor is also ardent supporter of LGBT equality in athletics. While we at Bwog don’t know what a lot of sports-related terms mean for sure (all-American? Division what?), we […]

During our time at Columbia, most of us meet one or two group leaders, student government presidents, star athletes, and the like.
