Dating back to legendary debates on the Virginia House of Burgesses, George Mason and George Washington are two of the most distinguished Founding Fathers. Political rivals and longtime friends, the two had estates overlooking the Potomac River only miles away.

As the schools face off as conference opponents, the budding rivalry is set to become one of the best in the nation.
