Bwog’s sports editor Ross Chapman brings us another weekend sports wrap-up. Volleyball is apparently rocking it this season, and the field hockey team is capable of crushing you under “an unforgiving stick.” Exciting! This weekend marked the beginning of the season for Men’s and Women’s Tennis, who went off to tournaments hosted by Princeton and […]

This morning, PrezBo sent out the following email, announcing the resignation of M. Dianne Murphy—who, according to PrezBo, oversaw “an unprecedented record of success”—from her position as Director of Intercollegiate Athletics and Physical Education.  She will remain in her position until the end of the academic year. This comes almost a year after the heated […]

Lions super-fan Max Rettig brings you an update on the Lions our Blue. The Lions lost last night in a close thriller that came down to the last seconds, ending their season with a 69-72 loss to Yale. With the clock winding down in the second half, the Lions pulled within 1 or 2 points, […]

While athletics at Columbia get a bad rap because of a certain sport-which-shall-not-be-named, many of our teams have been performing incredibly well lately, and they all deserve attention. Instead of spotlighting one team, Bwog’s new Sports Editor Max Rettig is shining light on many winter sports teams as they head into their home stretches. Teams […]

In case you missed it, this weekend was the big homecoming game–that’s football, for you uninitiated. Not to worry, Bwog’s own Odysseus went on an epic journey to find Alma Bwogger Penelope, as they both homecame. Tell me, Muse, of the men of many ways, who were driven to 218th Street, after they had been sacked 53-7 […]

Tonight at 7 pm in the Levien Gym, the volleyball team will have their Ivy League home opener match against UPenn.  Tonight’s match is the team’s Breast Cancer Awareness game.  The first 200 fans will get pink t-shirts and Fairway market is donating $1 to the Herbert Irving Cancer Center for every fan in attendance. […]

Spotlight on Soccer The Lady Lions have been kicking the ball as of late. They’ve also been blocking the ball well (insert sexual reference here). Columbia’s women’s soccer team won their third shutout performance in four games, beating LIU Brooklyn on Sunday. The “W” is also Columbia’s second consecutive home win at home. Senior Beverley […]

I might be a couple of days late with my recap of this past week in Columbia sports, but the football team came up 45 points short of even a tie against Fordham on Saturday. The Lions lost their season opener to Fordham’s Rams by a score of 52-7 on Saturday. Despite the turnover-heavy performance […]

If you haven’t already figured it out from all the new car ads (okay you got us, the last one is actually a Doritos ad), the Superbowl is this Sunday! Whether you’re a die-hard fan (i.e. planning to support one of the two teams playing), or you’ll be watching the Puppy Bowl instead, we know […]

Levien Gym is officially “on lockdown” as the OKC Thunder prep for tomorrow’s game against the Brooklyn Nets. Bwog couldn’t catch a glimpse of Kevin Durant (though his presence was confirmed by one, very confident bro), but 2003 NCAA NPOY, First Team All-American, and Kansas’s second all-time leading scorer, Nick Collison, was confirmed in attendance via blurry […]

Interested in free food, a new t-shirt, and watching a pad-less contact sport you’ve probably only seen in Invictus? Well, you’re in luck. Tonight, the Columbia Rugby Team, aka CURFC, takes on Yale in their biggest home game of the season. The two teams kick off at 7 pm at Baker Athletic Complex, but don’t […]

Office hours: they’re the best! For the latest in our ongoing series of professor interviews, Sam Schube spoke with old Bwog favorite Bruce Robbins. While you might know him from that one essay you skimmed for University Writing (that’d be “The Sweatshop Sublime”), Robbins is a man of many interests—chief among them plumbing and the […]

New York wants you to eat better. (NY Post) Women’s basketball defeats Yale! (Spec) Kyle Merber CC ’12 breaks Ivy League record. (CU Athletics) A tipster reports that fire alarms blared in Schapiro last night/this morning at approximately 3:14 a.m. Turns out that there was no fire, but only a flooded urinal.

And just like that, Columbia football is off the schneid, snapping their five-game losing streak with a convincing 30-20 win over Cornell.  The team took care of the ball when they had it (just one turnover in an area that’s plagued the team all year) and forced an impressive six turnovers on defense, including four […]

During our time at Columbia, most of us meet one or two group leaders, student government presidents, star athletes, and the like. But there are many Columbians whose profiles are lower, yet their talents are just as (or even more) awesome. Here’s our recurring feature devoted to those students: this time, we present Taylor Chaintreuil, […]
