Friends of Coal Bowl

Blog Reader Sol sent this photo of The Friends of Coal Bowl.

For most West Virginians its the biggest football game of the year.

Even though each year both Marshall and WVU play bowl

games - win their conference - this game is important. Not for national ratings - but for State Bragging Rights.

The trophy was made in West Virginia by FENTON GLASS , Dave Fetty came out of retirement to manage the making of the glass football. The design and implementation of this trophy is superior.

Don't like football? Well, you probably couldn't find a ticket - even if you wanted to attend. You can watch the game on TV hoping to see the trophy or google 'the coal bowl trophy" to find photos.

If you plan to attend the game. Stop by BLENKO GLASS, there are a dozen sale tables. Its a great weekend for football and Blenko / WV Glass.
