History of The Game
The two teams first played each other in 1954 and have played every year since. The 54th Causeway (and 55th matchup, see results below) was held on November 3, 2007 at Hornet Stadium. From 2008 onwards Davis-hosted games will be held at Aggie Stadium. Sacramento State-hosted Causeway's are held at Hornet Stadium.
The name "Causeway Classic" began to be used in the early 1980s and is credited to former Sacramento State sports information director Mike Duncan. The word "causeway" refers to the Yolo Causeway, which is the long bridge on Interstate 80 over the Yolo Bypass that connects Davis, California and Sacramento, California.

Famous quotes containing the words history of, history and/or game:
“Look through the whole history of countries professing the Romish religion, and you will uniformly find the leaven of this besetting and accursed principle of action—that the end will sanction any means.”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
“It is true that this man was nothing but an elemental force in motion, directed and rendered more effective by extreme cunning and by a relentless tactical clairvoyance .... Hitler was history in its purest form.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“The family environment in which your children are growing up is different from that in which you grew up. The decisions our parents made and the strategies they used were developed in a different context from what we face today, even if the “content” of the problem is the same. It is a mistake to think that our own experience as children and adolescents will give us all we need to help our children. The rules of the game have changed.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
