The Columbia–Georgetown football rivalry is the American college football rivalry between the Columbia Lions of the Ivy League and the Georgetown Hoyas of the Patriot League. In 2015, the teams began competing for the Lou Little Trophy,[1] named in honor of the College Football Hall of Fame coach[2] who led Georgetown and then Columbia to success in the first half of the 20th century.
Series history
editColumbia and Georgetown met for the first time in 1901, an 18-0 Lions win at New York’s Polo Grounds,[3] but did not play again for more than a century. They reconvened for their second game in 2006, a 23-21 Lions win at Columbia’s Wein Stadium.[4] Since 2015, they have completed annually. For Columbia, the trophy game has effectively replaced the Liberty Cup[5] series with Fordham, last contested in 2015;[6] for Georgetown, it has replaced the Mayor’s Cup Series with Howard,[7] last contested in 2011.[8] It’s typically the second game on Columbia’s schedule and the fourth on Georgetown’s.
Lou Little
editLittle coached Georgetown from 1924 through 1929 to a six-year record of 41-12-3. He led Columbia from 1930 through 1956 to a program record 110 wins, including an upset victory over Stanford in the 1934 Rose Bowl,[9] and three AP Top 20 finishes. He was inducted into the college football Hall of Fame as a coach in 1960.[10]
