re: Grantland Rice at his old Underwood..

My very first college football game was watching the Grantland Rice Bowl. Louisiana Tech and Terry Bradshaw got beaten by some team from Tennessee. I'm sure I still have the program in a box somewhere. I remember the game was in December, but it felt more like June. We sat a few rows behind Governor McKeithen and Ag Commissioner Dave Pierce, who wore his trademark Stetson hat the entire game.

I wonder how many on this board actually know who Grantland Rice and what an "Underwood" was.

Sportswriter and a typewriter. The latter required very strong fingers.
