Some 300-400 Mountaineer and Thundering Herd fans made their way to the Charleston Civic Center Thursday evening for the Second Annual Country Roads Tailgate party.
Bob Pruett and Don Nehlen appeared along with the Mountaineer and Marshall’s Marco, as the Friends of Coal tried to get everybody in the proper frame of mind for the upcoming Friends of Coal Bowl, September 8 in Huntington.
Earlier in the week, the Friends of Coal Bowl trophy was on display in Huntington at a press conference initiated by MU. President Stephen Kopp, Athletic Director Bob Marcum and Coach Mark Snyder all praised the coal industry and specifically the Friends of Coal for their involvement with the universities and this game. Bill Raney spoke for the Friends of Coal, expressing our enthusiasm for the series and our anticipation for our upcoming trip to Huntington.
