List of Hampden–Sydney Tigers football seasons

[1] Hampden–Sydney's playing surface, originally named Venable Field, was built on a former frog pond dredged by students in 1896.

In 1915, according to tradition, the field was nicknamed "Death Valley" by a defeated Richmond College player because Hampden–Sydney so frequently trounced opposing teams at home.

The only years that H–SC did not field a football team were in 1904 and 1943 due to a large percentage of the student body being drafted into the war.

[11] The school saw its first real success in football when another alumnus, J. Stokeley Fulton, became the head coach in 1960, serving in that role until 1984 when he succumbed to cancer.

Fulton, inducted into the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame in 1977, lead his team to 9 conference championships, back-to-back Knute Rockne Bowls in 1971 and 1972, and was voted as the ODAC coach of the year 3 times.
