Capital Cup :''For other uses, see South's Oldest Rivalry (disambiguation).'' Coined as the "South's Oldest Rivalry," the Capital Cup is one of the longest-running college football rivalries in the United States. Contested yearly between the University of Richmond Spiders and College of William & Mary Tribe, only four rivalries have more games played. ==History== The Capital Cup is one of the oldest collegiate American football rivalries, played between the University of Richmond Spiders and College of William & Mary Tribe. The yearly contest is tied for fourth most occurrences, currently standing at 124 times. Played nearly continuously since 1898, there have only been three years that the game did not occur: 1900, 1902 and 1943.〔〔(''The Collegian'' – UR defeats W&M 23-20 ). Retrieved on November 28, 2008.〕 The game had until recently been dubbed the I-64 Bowl, from 1984 though 2008.〔 Beginning in 2009, however, the game was officially renamed the Capital Cup, for which a new trophy was created.〔 The Capital Cup name was chosen to honor the entire 119-game history of the rivalry between the two schools and the status of the two cities as two of the historical capitals of the Commonwealth of Virginia.〔 The match is typically played as the final regular season game for both teams, but for many years used to be played on Thanksgiving Day.〔 The November 21, 2009 game marked the 119th meeting between the schools.〔(RichmondSpiders.com ). "...Saturday in the 118th meeting between long-time rivals at Zable Stadium in Williamsburg." Retrieved on November 28, 2008.〕 The Richmond win placed the all-time record at 59–55–5, remaining in favor of William & Mary. The Richmond Spiders won this inaugural Capital Cup by a final score of 13–10, simultaneously giving Richmond a share of the Colonial Athletic Association season championship. Place kicker Andrew Howard converted a game-winning 48-yard field goal as time expired. Then, in 2010, William & Mary clinched a share of the conference with the Capital Cup win. The Tribe had to beat Richmond and have Villanova upset Delaware in order to share the championship with Delaware, and both of those results occurred.
