Final Coal Bowl of the Series

Last Saturday (September 1) was the last Friends of Coal Bowl of the series with WVU coming out victorious in each of the seven games.  As in the past games, there was a very large crowd in the Friends of Coal tent before the game and the previous nights festivities at the Remember the Miners/Bob Huggins Fish Fry was also well attended.

A very special thanks to everyone at Marshall University and West Virginia University who helped to make these Bowls such a success.  Both schools have been exceptional.

Coal = Jobs
