THE SHOTGUN THROWDOWN: Major Harris gets a street named after him

Welcome, By-Godders, to The Shotgun Throwdown, WVU’s best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor, and daily distractions.

MAJOR HARRIS STREET

West Virginia football legend Major Harris is getting a street named after him. The street connects Elmore Street and Bently Drive in the Hill District of Pittsburgh, which is near where Major grew up. The College Football Hall of Fame quarterback is very thankful for the honor, just as he appreciated his jersey retirement at WVU last fall.

A dedication ceremony for the naming of “Major Harris Street” will occur on Friday, July 15, at 3 p.
