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. This is the punch line. Like the ones about British dentistry schools. “We’ve always been good at the gentlemanly and the ladylike athletics,” Lucas Rubin, the program’s director, […]

It’s time for The Blue and White’s October issue!  This month, the staff of the magazine takes its first foray into the world of Columbia Athletics with our Fall Sports section.  Throughout the next few days, we’ll be rolling out selected stories from the section so you can get a head start.  First up: PE […]

There’s a new sport on campus, but you won’t see them posting offensive recruiting signs: the Four Square League welcomes jocks and pussies alike. The Varsity team plays at 4:00 PM on Fridays on College Walk. If you’re new to the game, you might want to check out JV, whom Bwog ran into on Van […]

Today, 12:30 is “Baker Blast” and opening day for Columbia’s football team. Community building, right? Oops. Thanks to a joint effort by the Student Development and Activities (SDA), the Office of Multicultural Affairs (OMA), and Activities Board at Columbia (ABC), all student leaders — under threat of freezing their clubs’ accounts– will be busy  undergoing […]

Columbia has just posted its alcohol policy and rules for “pre-game initiatives” at Baker. And guess what? Free beer!*     *One cup per person per concession run, up to four concession runs permitted, only if you have two valid forms of ID [updated] with birthdate. You may only drink in specified areas during the […]

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 […]

In addition to gentrifying Manhattanville and coiffing his hair, apparently PrezBo also has time to run 4-6 miles a day. Check out Runner’s World’s interview with the man on the subject and notice how he name-drops the Core’s greatest capitalist.

See Clown’s sign. Then see Playboy touting the ‘Stend as the center of the universe. Update (1:45 pm): When this Bwog correspondent showed up at the ‘Stend to take some Beer Carnival pictures, she was quickly informed by the Manager that, this being a Saturday, everything was running a bit behind schedule and to come […]

When reached for comment, Felix Gillette, CJR Daily reporter and author of the Slate profile of J.J. had the following to say: “I’m concerned that the long hours, endless travel, and lack of a stable home life may finally be catching up with J.J. Jumper. This latest incident looks like nothing less than a cry […]

This isn’t the first time Columbia and J.J. Jumper’s stars have collided. A Columbia Journalism Review reporter did a bittersweet profile of the homeless frog for Slate almost a year ago. It seems like J.J. takes it more than he dishes it out so maybe we aren’t so mad at him for destroying $6,500 of […]

Bwog, in a fit of teary-eyed, second-semester senior nostalgia, decided to attend our first ever Columbia sporting event last night, the men’s basketball game against Yale. And while we lost in a heartbreaker, JJ Jumper still managed to provide a moment of amusement. Not to be confused with Roar-ee, Columbia’s own lamely named mascot, JJ […]

Overheard after Columbia’s ten-point victory over Brown in Friday’s basketball game: “Too bad for them you can’t pass/fail in basketball.” –Gautam Hans–
