So the Superbowl’s tonight. Whoohoo and etc. One good thing this does mean is that you are at liberty to eat and drink lots of food and beer to quell the nagging feeling that you should be in Butler. May we suggest: Browsing through the local establishments and ordering online. Lion’s Head is offering $7 pitchers of beer. Nacho’s is doing […]

You’re likely wearing sweatpants and a shirt from the book store right now, but no matter! The Eye wants to bring the glamour and flash of Fashion Week to your slobbish form, and they’ve launched a special website (of which they are super proud) to do so. And, in the category of another thing “a lot of people (but probably […]

A new Facebook group promises to break our long streak of sportive sorrow: “Poke the Opponents.” That’s right. If we all poke them hard enough, all at once, they will probably lose. At least, they will not finish their homework before the big game, because of all the Facebook spam they will need to delete. […]

For your personal edification, we present another hard-hitting article from the October issue. Out now! It’s sports-tastical! Columbia University is now offering an MS in Sports Management.

In today’s New York Times, everyone’s favorite Principles prof, Sunil Gulati, explains why you’re better off at Columbia than pursuing your dreams of soccer stardom. As if our Major League Soccer dreams needed any more dashing.

Beloved econ professor Sunil Gulati has always seemed to have a bit of an inferiority complex when it comes to his Nobel Prize-winning/poverty eradicating/just plain publishing colleagues. At least now he can cheer himself knowing he’s the only one in the department elected president of the U.S. Soccer Federation. Here’s to better luck this time […]
