With the announcement that the Oct. 3 game at Penn will be at 3:30, the Big Green schedule now features games at seven different game times, on two different days of the week:
Noon – Georgetown, Central Connecticut and Princeton
12:30 – Brown
1:30 – Yale
3 – Columbia
3:30 – Penn
7 – Sacred Heart
7:30 Harvard (Friday)
8 – Cornell (Friday)
Green Alert Take: Mark it down. Someone will show up for a game this fall and have a long wait on a Saturday afternoon. Or a r-e-a-l-l-y long wait if the game was played the night before.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Steelers blog writes about Dartmouth alum Dan Rooney '12 (LINK):
The son of Art II, Dan works as a scout for the Steelers. He was a quarterback and is a graduate from Dartmouth and interned in the NFL offices for a few years before joining the Steelers’ scouting department. He is intelligent, grew up around football, knows the game and looks to me to have all the qualifications to succeed his father in the job with more seasoning, if indeed that is how they want to go when that time comes.Find Rooney's Dartmouth bio HERE.
