The cities of Easton and Phillipsburg are connected by more than just two bridges that span the Delaware River.
A Thanksgiving day football game has brought the two towns together for the last 102 years.
ESPN has broadcasted the game twice, once in 1988 and the other in 2006 to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the game.
Entering the game, the Easton Red Rovers lead the overall series 56-40-5.
The 2008 edition of the Battle for College Hill took place in Lafayette's Fisher Field with the winner receiving the Forks of the Delaware Trophy. Easton entered the game heavy underdogs since they missed the Pennsylvania State Playoffs and Phillipsburg is considered one of the top programs in the state of New Jersey.
After the game, Easton's Kyle Harbridge was named the MVP after rushing for 109 yards and two touchdowns.
