Yale Daily News

This should not be a surprised; every time a Democrat wins the White House, Harvard wins the game.

Come on! This was not about giving the ball to McLeod in the waning minutes of the game. All day the offense could not make plays-and in football that is everything-you have to have offensive guys make plays. Harvard made plays despite a super job as usual by the Bulldog defense. Second guessing the coach? McLeod angry? You've got to be kidding!Players just want to win-and had the offense picked up on the backside blitz-on those last two Yale plays--there might have been a different ending.

Seriously, I wonder if there is a more pathetic coach anywhere in FCS football. What an awful coach. We need to fire him, stat.

Hey!?!? No postings on the YPMB???... the brave unsung spirit boosters who ALWAYS outplay and outlast the sad Lamebridge Band??? No postings on their halftime show....superior in wit, humor and uber prop to Harvard's band?
Yes, Harvard beat Yale this year in football (wait till next year)but...... THE BAND ALWAYS WINS!!!!

And Tom Beckett too.

My conclusion is that Tim Murphy owns Siedlecki. jack, where's your imagination? ok, '06 was a big win but we always seem to be outcoached by the crimson -- their talent is no better, but our Game plan sucks. we're a much better team than showed up today, remember the cold conditions were the same for both teams.

Some of the worst play calling I have ever seen (with the exception of last year's H-Y game, which was also awful). McLeod is a terrific running back who, unfortunately, has been poorly utilized.
The numbers speak for themselves---47 to 6 combined scoring total for the last two years in favor of Harvard. One Yale win out of the last 8 years. Yale deserves better. Football recruiting will suffer. Its time for a change.
PS-the only highlight for Yale fans was the band

Totally agree with #3 and #5. I think we've only beaten Harvard once since 2001 and the offense hasn't scored against them the last 2 games. We don't like to lose but what is even worse is to play boring, predictable football. Siedlecki seems incapable of making adjustments when a game plan isn't working. It's time for him to go.

I will not contribute any money to yale until they fire that pathetic coach.

I'm a Junior, and I also will contribute no money until we fire Siedlecki.

Which means they had better hurry up...I want my degree.

Jack, for the good of Yale Football please offer your resignation. Carm never had such a woeful streak against Harvard and even he knew when it was time. Please do not put President Levin and Tom Beckett in the uncomfortable position of having to terminate you. You've served us well but it's time for you to leave with your dignity intact. Many thanks from grateful Yale alumni.

Let's be honest: He hasn't served us that well.

yalie band: masters of incomprehensible inanity at halftime for over 10 years (since I've watched them). And now they learned a new trick: how to get suspended... :-p

Once again a befuddled Siedlecki stares vacantly from the sidelines as Murphy outmaneuvers him. I have no doubt that Harvard somehow engineered Sidelecki's selection as New England Coach of the Year in 2007 as a means of ensuring that he remains the Yale coach as long as possible.
Virtually the entire game he called McLeod off tackle right, McLeod off tackle left, or McLeod up the middle although it simply was not working. Then, with time running out and a first down on the Harvard 2-yard line, when McLeod easily could have punched it over for a touchdown, Siedlecki inexplicably goes to the passing game! It would be bad enough if Yale were simply tolerating mediocrity, but this is outright incompetence. It is past time to show Messrs. Siedlecki and Beckett the door.

I have to defend Coach Siedlecki. Jack is a good man with an astute football mind and a legendary work ethic. Each fall he comes down to the Yale Club in NYC for the Bulldog Kickoff Reception to preview the coming season. He was brutally honest this past September, revealing that 3 to 4 games a season could turn on a break here or there, and that Yale's 9 and 1 season last year, with the overtime games and close calls, could have easily been 6 and 4. Okay, Tim Murphy is very good and Harvard has won the last 7 of 8 Games -- but no one, I mean no one feels worse than Jack. Let's resist turning Yale football into the embarrassment that Notre Dame is facing with Charlie Weis. Jack is a great recruiter and motivator --and I'm confident that during the off season he'll do whatever it takes to get Yale back on top.

I don't think so, Ken.

Let's get a top notch coach now, there are some great young football minds out there. Maybe give it to Flanders, but let's use this opportunity to set Yale Football in good standing for the next decade.
