In addition to the All-150 Team, Columbia celebrated its 150th Anniversary of Football with a social media and virtual initiative featuring three fan-friendly events, numerous historical feature stories, social media posts, and fan interaction polls. The celebration runs from September through the end of November.
Columbia Football is the nation's third oldest college football program. Columbia took part in its first-ever football game on November 12, 1870, against Rutgers in New Brunswick, N.J.
