North Carolina's 'fainting goats' prank goes viral
Posted May 2, 2013
Bryn Renner did not disappoint when some of the offensive staff at UNC decided to "punk" their starting QB during practice last season. Renner snapped the ball, and as he dropped back to pass, his teammates — on offense and defense — fell down, as if they had fainted, leaving Renner the only one standing.
