Bwog's logo up to 2009. Recently, seasonal variations have been featured on various holidays, notably the anniversary of the Minuteman stage-rush incident.
The Bwog is the blog of The Blue and White magazine, centered on campus news and gossip. It was launched on January 30th, 2006.[1] Some consider it to be snotty and elitist. Others consider it witty and entertaining. Most people read it regardless.
