The Southampton Stags are a member of the British Collegiate American Football League (BCAFL)'s Southern Conference-Southern Division. The Stags have been consistent contenders in the Southern Conference since their inaugural BCAFL season in 1989-90. Southampton won two BCAFL titles early in their history (winning College Bowls VI & VII) and have had success of late, making the playoffs in each of the past six seasons (with two division titles). In 2006, the Stags finally returned to the College Bowl, defeating the UT Cougars 79-8. The final score broke Southampton's own record for largest margin of victory in a College Bowl (71 points, breaking the previous record of 53 points, posted in the Stags 53-0 victory over Glasgow in College Bowl VI).
