The Grantland Rice Bowl was an annual college football bowl game held from 1964 through 1977. The game originated as an NCAA College Division regional final, then became a playoff game for Division II. It was named in honor of Grantland Rice, an early 20th-century American sportswriter known for his elegant prose, and was originally played in his hometown of Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
