Grape Bowl

The Grape Bowl was a postseason college football bowl game played in 1947 and 1948.^[1] It was held at the Grape Bowl stadium, in Lodi, California.^[2]

Both games featured the College of the Pacific (now University of the Pacific), who defeated Utah State in 1947, and played Hardin–Simmons to a tie in 1948. Like some other postseason match-ups of the era, such as the Glass Bowl and the Optimist Bowl, results are listed in NCAA records, but the games were not considered NCAA-sanctioned bowls.^[1]
