Major moment

As odd as it may seem, Major Harris, who last played college football in 1989 and was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in April 2009, will be enshrined this weekend. The lengthy parade is nearing the conclusion and Harris is just now beginning to understand what it means.

Harris, who was a three-year starter with the Mountaineers from 1987-89, was working at a football camp recently, one of the many things he’s been invited to and involved in since he was elected to the Hall in April 2009.

“They introduce you and I’ve done a bunch of them and normally it’s ‘Former West Virginia quarterback …'” Harris said. “This time it was ‘Hall of Fame quarterback…'”

The gravely voice paused and then chuckled.

“That was pretty cool,” he said.
