Yale football will look quite different in 2009 with a total of 37 seniors graduating this May and an overhauled coaching staff taking the reins.

In sports they say it’s tough to defeat an opponent multiple times in one season. The men’s basketball team will try to do it twice in a week. Coming off a 70-62 victory over Brown (6-9, 0-1 Ivy) last Friday night in Providence, R.I., the Bulldogs (6-9, 1-0) look to start the Ivy League season »
