Public Service Announcement: The Game starts two and a half hours later this year.

We’re guessing that the 2:30 p.m. start time, a bit later than the traditional noon, doesn’t mean too much for the football team. But for those of us who make it down to New Haven for the annual day of revelry on Nov. 21, it means more time to pregame.

(Before the tailgate, maybe you can sleep in, fit in a real brunch, make a mixed drink instead of subsisting on Rubinoff out of the bottle—or you could just drink for longer.)
