The Richmond Spiders are a college football team representing the University of Richmond in Richmond, Virginia. Richmond was the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision champion for the 2008 season. Richmond currently competes in the Colonial Athletic Association of the NCAA's Division I Football Championship Subdivision. Wayne Lineburg was named interim head coach of the Spiders on August 23, 2011, succeeding Latrell Scott, who had resigned on that same day.〔(Latrell Scott Resigns As Head Football Coach – RichmondSpiders.com )〕 In 2008, #7 Richmond beat Eastern Kentucky, Appalachian State, and Northern Iowa to advance to the NCAA Division I Football Championship against Montana. In the FCS National Championship Game on December 19, 2008, they defeated Montana 24–7 to win the first team NCAA national title for the University of Richmond in any sport. Richmond's traditional rival in many sports is the College of William & Mary. Richmond and William & Mary have met 123 times since 1898, making the rivalry (sometimes referred to as "the South's oldest rivalry") the fourth most-played in Division I college football. Only Lafayette-Lehigh, Princeton-Yale, and Harvard-Yale have played more games. The winner of the annual W&M–Richmond match-up claims the Capital Cup (formerly the I-64 Trophy), which reflects the historical significance of the cities of Williamsburg and Richmond as the last two capitals of the Commonwealth of Virginia.〔(Richmond, William & Mary Rename Football Rivalry As Capital Cup )〕 Richmond scored a 13–10 victory in 2009's inaugural Capital Cup, with kicker Andrew Howard making a 48-yard field goal as time expired. == Conference affiliations == *1881–1906: Independent *1907–10: South Atlantic Intercollegiate Athletic Association (SAIAA) *1911–1931: Independent *1932–35: Virginia Conference *1936–76: Southern Conference *1977: NCAA Division I Independent *1978–81: NCAA Division I-A Independent *1982–85: NCAA Division I-AA Independent *1986–96: Yankee Conference *1997–06: Atlantic 10 Conference *2007–present: Colonial Athletic Association 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richmond Spiders football」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
