A Football Players Story

*Probably more interesting to WVU, Marshall, and Miami Hurricane fans.

A story from the Charleston Gazette on Dennie Harrah, OL for the Rams. He played in the SB in 1980 against the Steelers. He graduated from my High School in 71, the year I was born. (Just realized I need to ask my mom about him, she would only be a year older I think. Recall her and dad talking about him but man...that was years ago.)

Some might argue with me due to technology always advancing...but when I see Denny's photo in his Rams uniform it really stands out to me...that this is a real guy. (I may be more effected from personal links here, but I recall very similar feelings when I see "old" stories now.) But the picture doesn't have that old frosty look of pictures my mind is so used to seeing when I see "old" players. But that pic is from 32 years ago! And I wonder about the impact and effect when kids look back at old photos from here out. (New photos are better, but at the same time, I look at photos everyday that really are no better than this one...with people passing phone pics, scanning and posting pics, and newspapers being limited on the quality they can reproduce.) Just a different feeling.
