The Uni Watch
Fans (Sports Aesthetics) Facebook page will be posting a minimum of 1 NCAA Football Team
(Division I) a day to celebrate the 150 years of College Football. The teams
will begin with the oldest team in their respective conference (Big Ten =
Oldest Conference) until all the teams are listed. The team helmets will go
back to the early 1960’s and their current logo will be used.
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. Former University of Tennessee at Chattanooga head coach Russ
Huesman was named head coach of the Spiders, on December 14, 2016, replacing
Danny Rocco who had depart to become head coach at the University of Delaware a
day earlier.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 127 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.
