===Rivalries===
Roanoke College and [[Washington and Lee Generals|Washington and Lee University]] have been rivals for nearly 150 years. The rivalry is fueled by a long history of competition; the schools have competed against each other since the 1870s. The rivalry is also influenced by conference affiliation and geography; the schools are both charter members of the [[Old Dominion Athletic Conference]] and are located about 50 miles from each other along [[Interstate 81]].
Roanoke and [[Virginia Tech]] were rivals in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when Virginia Tech was a small college. In 1877, the schools competed in Virginia Tech's first intercollegiate baseball game (Virginia Tech won 53–13), and in 1896, Virginia Tech first wore its current athletic colors – Chicago Maroon and Burnt Orange – in a football game against Roanoke.<ref name="lib1">{{cite web|url=http://spec.lib.vt.edu/archives/databook/text/chap2/2_8.htm |title=Historical Data Book, Section 2.8: Student Organizations |publisher=Spec.lib.vt.edu |access-date=October 14, 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.vt.edu/about/hokie.html |title=What is a Hokie? | Virginia Tech |publisher=Vt.edu |access-date=October 14, 2008}}</ref> In 1895, Roanoke and Virginia Tech were charter members of the now defunct Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Association along with [[Randolph-Macon College]], the [[University of Richmond]], and the [[College of William and Mary]], and in 1926, Roanoke and Virginia Tech played the inaugural football game at Virginia Tech's [[Miles Stadium]].<ref name="lib1"/><ref>{{cite web|url=http://spec.lib.vt.edu/archives/databook/text/chap6/6_4.htm |title=Historical Data Book, Section 6.4: Athletic Facilities |publisher=Spec.lib.vt.edu |access-date=October 14, 2008}}</ref>
