The Empire State Bowl has been the name of the annual Ivy League football game between Columbia and Cornell since 2010. Although the schools have played a football game against each other for decades, no one thought to make it into a marketing opportunity until 2010. Perhaps the schools should also lobby to have the fixture scheduled for the last weekend of the season, the traditional "rivalry weekend" in the league, when Harvard plays Yale, and Penn plays Princeton - Cornell and Columbia are currently paired with Dartmouth and Brown, respectively.

After three years, Columbia leads the series 2-1. The series has produced memorable games so far, including a shootout in 2011 with a 103 total points scored, and a furious comeback in 2012 when Columbia scored 24 unanswered second half points to overturn a 7 point deficit.
