It’s a new season, and with the new season comes the return of the Friday Sports Roundup, where Bwog summarizes the past week’s sports scores (this week, to be honest, there aren’t that many), and looks ahead to the weekend for the Light Blue. Football: Football does not begin its season until next weekend (at […]

The Columbia Lions football team has made the national media as extras for a GQ magazine feature on ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews. Andrews is mostly known for being “that girl” on the sidelines during ESPN college football and basketball coverage. The photoshoot is attracting extra attention because Andrews was filmed by a peephole perv […]

The team‘s meteoric rise began the weekend of April 18th when they surprised the competition in Sectionals. Though the team was the 8th seed out […]

The men’s golf team won their second Ivy League title in a row today, coming from three strokes back to beat Penn by one stroke.

Men’s Basketball: Let’s face it – last Saturday’s loss to Yale, after a huge win over Brown was a big blow to the team’s title hopes. With 4 games left in the season, though, anything is possible, and the Lions (11-13, 6-4 in the Ivy League) are at least looking to finish a strong second. […]

 – Columbia University Athletics With a chance to make a real statement about contending for the Ivy League title, the men’s basketball team stumbled in New Haven earlier tonight, falling 57-49 to Yale.
