HUNTINGTON,WV  (HNN) -  Marshall and West Virginia University football fans watched the "Friends of Coal Bowl,"  football game on a large 276 foot  television screen set up at David W. Harris Riverfront Park. 

 
The "2011  Almost Heaven Big Screen Showdown."  was a free event  that was sponsored by radio station,  The Dawg,  WDGG- FM (93.7) and the Marshall University Alumni Association.   They did ask for a can of food for the Huntington Area Food Bank. 


The crowd of about 300 was  mostly made up of  Marshall fans.   Herd fans responded  with many cheers when the Marshall  scored first taking a 7-0 lead.    The picture on the big screen television was excellent  and it  showed up well even  during the afternoon hours.

A scattering of  West Virginia fans cheered when the Mountaineers scored.   West Virginia   eventually took the lead and kept it.     West Virginia won the  football game 34-13.   The game was stopped as the fourth  quarter  started  because of bad weather and lightening.
