Now you can’t say we never did anything nice for ya. After weeks of late-night, never-back-down, tooth-and-nail negotiation sessions, the Buggy Alumni Association is proud to announce the first ever members-only hotel discount. That’s right, we’ve secured a limited number of rooms at the luxurious Hampton Inn during the peak-demand days around carnival at a [...]
We’ve mentioned the guys from Apex Buggy a couple of times in the rolls reports. They are a group of mostly freshmen, mostly living in a new dorm called “The Residence on 5th” or “The Rez” for short. Despite being on campus for only a few months, they’ve done an impressive amount of work towards [...]
After a rainout on Céilidh weekend, this past Sunday was designated as our official fantasy buggy showdown. 41 people entered our first ever fantasy buggy game to take their shot at the $250 “ticket to carnival” grand prize sponsored by NumberFire.com. Fringe and CIA timers helped out to collect times that could be shared publicly [...]
I know I don’t want to admit it, but the reality is that the end of summer is in sight, and the Buggy Alumni Association wants to be ready for another big year (our 4th!). After the buzz from raceday died down, we all took a healthy break from buggy madness, but a few things [...]
If you’ve been on cmubuggy in the last 5 days since our new site debuted (and over 2,000 of you have), you’ve undoubtedly checked out its biggest new feature: the video library. For the launch we had 264 videos capturing buggy from the 1950′s through raceday 2009. Thanks to our partners in this project over [...]
At 9AM this morning, bidding will commence in the 3rd annual Lead Truck Auction. Don’t show up fashionably late to the bidding this year as we’ve got only 36 hours (bidding closes at 9pm wednesday) to divvy up the rides because the heat selection was held later than it has been in recent years. For [...]
I hope the rolls report faithful weren’t too distraught today given the lack of rolls report following an exciting truck weekend. As you may remember, after truck weekend the large and well compensated BAA staffers spend the night producing an in depth and comprehensive report for our generous supporters: the Members-Only Raceday Preview. Lucky for [...]
Rolls weren’t to be this weekend, but the BAA had a good homecoming weekend anyhow. The weather report for Saturday morning was pretty bad – temps just above freezing, and a rain / snow mix forecast above 50%. It was also the last day of rolls before daylight savings was to end, so there was [...]
Hi everyone! This weekend is Homecoming, and I hope if you’re in town, you’ll all be out at rolls this weekend! Here’s the full list of other exciting things the BAA has planned. Please join us for the fun or just stop by and say hello. Leave a comment on this post if you’ll be [...]
Last night, a historic 2 hour conference call marked the peaceful transition of power from the founding committee of the Buggy Alumni Association to the 50% newly elected committee that will lead us forward into 2011. We covered administrative details of course, but we wanted to take this moment to step back and appraise our [...]
