My brother played Football for Macon back when both schools were still
all male. The rivalry was stronger back then. He still calls H-SC "Humpty-Dumpty".

Mine also played for RMC, in the early 2000s. Those were some fun games.

Can't get credit for Randolph Macon. But we'll do it for Randolph Scott.

ding, ding, ding, correct!
The series goes back to 1893. H-SC leads 59-58-11, but R-MC is on a 12 year win streak. On a side note, after transferring from VT, my father played for H-SC in the 1940 and 1941 games (both won by H-SC) before a certain event Dec 7, 1941, ended his (and many other’s) college careers.

My son-in-law is a Hampden Sydney baseball alum. I know all about their
sports teams.

I will also give you credit for the correct answer for having included the
hyphens.

Haha, no problem, just giving @Stork a hard time. Gotta get up early to
beat him in trivia!

Ha. Not including the hyphens sped up my typing by 10 seconds.
