Bryn Renner to feel right at home against Virginia Tech
Posted Nov 16, 2011
North Carolina quarterback Bryn Renner has been to so many games at Lane Stadium, he can’t even count them. His father, Bill, punted at Virginia Tech and later for the Green Bay Packers before becoming a high school football coach in Northern Virginia. His mother, Sue, was a Hokies cheerleader. His grandmother, who lives near Blacksburg in Pulaski County, has had season tickets near the 50-yard line for 44 years.
