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 […]

“I can’t say it was the best decision” Press releases: an overworked reporter’s best friend Homelessness: nobody’s best friend School spirit: still sort of lacking (unless it’s for water polo) Plus: Columbia’s Safire on pimple-toms and booby caresses!

Bwog daily editor Mariela Quintana floats into the surprisingly happy go lucky world of Ivy League fencing. The Columbia Fencing team did not carry themselves with the athletic aggression that one would expect at their final competition of the season. The mood Wednesday evening at Dodge Fitness Center evoked memories of the indoor soccer tournaments […]

Columbia men’s basketball came into this evening’s game against Cornell with high hopes—after all, some sports prognosticators and portents had picked the Lions in the preseason as league champions, and opening league play with a hard-fought six-point loss at Ithaca against Cornell, there seemed to be no reason that the senior-studded lineup couldn’t better their […]

Robert Kraft’s recent donation to Columbia got the Lions some sort-of-big-time sports coverage. Gregg Easterbrook, who writes the 6,000- word Tuesday Morning Quarterback column for ESPN’s Page 2, wrote a paragraph on Columbia’s fundraising  program.  Easterbrook writes that Columbia may be trying to move into the upper tiers of Ivy athletics by, like Harvard, Yale, […]
