[Jim]:	First a question you probably get asked a lot. What made you come to WVU?
[Major]:	It was close, you know.
[Jim]:	Not closer than Pitt, though.
[Major]:	Pitt?... no.
[Jim]:	You spent a lot of time with Coach Nehlen. I've asked other players of his this question. What's your favorite Nehlen saying?
[Major]:	Saying?
[Jim]:	Yeah... like "daggonit".
[Major]:	Aww... no saying, but he liked to butt heads.
[Jim]:	Huh?
[Major]:	He'd come up to you, and just rub his head against you.
[Jim]:	Huh?
[Major]:	Uh huh.
[Jim]:	We all know "The Play". What other play in your career will you never forget?
[Major]:	At Penn State. I scrambled one way, the back went the other way. I threw it to our fullback to the one yard line. If the play would have stood, we would have beat Penn State that year too.
[Jim]:	Why did they call it back.
[Major]:	Lineman downfield. We looked at the film. Touchy call.
[Jim]:	1987, right?
[Major]:	Yeah, the year before the time we beat them.
[Jim]:	So, how did you meet your fiancee? [her name is Sheri and was sitting right next to him]
[Major]:	Oh. Just out.
[Jim]:	That's it? She told me you stalked her. [Sheri is nodding]
[Major]:	Hey, well you know...
[Jim]:	I've read before that "The Play" was a result of you forgetting the play. Is that true?
[Major]:	Well... it was 28 or 29 stack option. I forgot which way it went. The play clock was low. I called the play and was rushing everyone to the line, and I just kept thinking "clock, clock". We got it off, but after the snap, I brain locked.
[Jim]:	Well, no one is complaining now. What did you say to Coach Nehlen after it?
[Major]:	I just said, "I messed up".
[Jim]:	So, what are you doing now besides spending time with me?
[Major]:	Coaching at my high school.
[Jim]:	Brashear?
[Major]:	Yeah. Coaching quarterbacks. Helping the young men there.
[Jim]:	Speaking of young men who need help, do you remember high-fiving a bunch of guys in togas one late night in the early 90s outside of Discount Den?
[Major]:	Uhh?
[Jim]:	That was me and my friends! It's one of the stories we still tell from our college days. Huge toga house party my friends had. You don't remember us?!!
[Major]:	[looking very confused and laughing] Nooo. That's funny.
[Jim]:	Well, remember the block parties?
[Major]:	Yeah.
[Jim]:	You ever go?
[Major]:	A little. I just remember not being able to move. Crazy.
[Jim]:	Where did you live back then?
[Major]:	What's that street? Valley View?
[Jim]:	Near the stadium. You live with other players?
[Major]:	Yeah, that year I lived with Jamie LeMon and Rico Tyler.
[Jim]:	As a fan of WVU, anything you'll never forget?
[Major]:	93. I came back to school in 1993. I was on the field after we beat Miami. I just kept thinking, those goal posts are big.
[Jim]:	Did you have to dodge any pepper spray?!
[Major]:	Nah, they let us. I just stood there looking at it thinking, will it actually fall? I'll never forget that. I kept thinking it was going to bust someone's head.
[Jim]:	So that wasn't you marching them down High Street? I remember heading down from our house (not too far away) after hearing people had walked the goal posts from the stadium to High Street.
[Major]:	I believe it. Those people were crazy.
[Jim]:	I know you've got a good woman now. Since she's sitting right here, I'll put you on the spot. What's the last thing you did to really make her mad.
[Major]:	[stunned look] Ask her.
[Sheri]:	Come on, answer it! [slapping him on the arm]
[Major]:	[silence]
[Jim]:	[laughing] Alright, how 'bout this then... what's one thing you did to make Coach Nehlen mad?
[Major]:	Not me, but when Tony had us do the Mountaineer rap.
[Jim]:	Tony Caridi? Coach Nehlen was mad?
[Major]:	Yeah. He was mad.
[Jim]:	You remember why?
[Major]:	Dunno. Just remember he was really mad.
[Jim]:	OK, you didn't remember me in the toga, but do you recall the 5 foot 10 white guy that played intramural basketball against you in 1989? I think our team name had to do with a malfunctioning body part or something that year.
[Major]:	Yeah, you were good [sarcasm and laughing]
[Jim]:	I remember thinking we didn't do as bad as I expected. I remember your team was stacked. I think you had Reggie Rembert too, right?
[Major]:	Yeah. Reggie was on that team. We lost in the championship to the guys that ran study hall or something.
Thank you, Maj. It was truly an honor. Congrats and best wishes on your upcoming nuptuals.
