I tuned into ESPN Classic yesterday evening with great anticipation. Even after losing those three early games I felt like things had turned around and was looking forward to seeing a sweep of the P's on their home court.

It was all going according to plan until our team of upperclassmen couldn't hit a shot while a bunch of freshmen slapped a big run on us. As a Yale fan I've had a lot of punches in the gut over the last few years but this ranks up there. I mean if we're not going to win at Penn this year when is it ever going to happen?

I'm so disappointed to see this team at 4-4 in the league. I feel like only Cornell has talent on par with what we put out on the court and frankly I think we match up well with them, especially with our experience. It's just baffling to see this team getting blown out by a bad and young Penn team.

I'm not ready to call for Coach Jones' firing or anything, but if I haven't already lost faith in him I'm really close now. I feel like ever since the magical 01-02 season he hasn't come close to getting the most out of his talent.

We're out of it this year and the bad news is that aside from Zampier and Morin I really don't have much confidence in any of the returning guys next year. Looking ahead it's hard to see us contending for the title any time soon, unless Coach Jones has some standout recruits coming in.

Ok I'm done venting to whoever is actually reading this.
