Nice little nugget about Willie Byrn going on scholarship...

From Andy Bitter's story on Byrn in the Roanoke Fishwrap...

BLACKSBURG The day Willie Byrn had been waiting for finally came this summer, when he was put on scholarship at Virginia Tech. The receiver from Virginia Beach knew the news would go over well with his family, so he had some fun with it.

A golfer who frequently hits the links with long snapper Joe St. Germain and linebacker Derek DiNardo, Byrn decided to tell his dad he needed money to pay off some escalating bets on the final few holes of a round.

I was like, Dad relax its only like 500 dollars. Its not that big of a deal, Byrn said, remembering the ire rising in his dads voice. And then I was like, You dont have to pay my tuition anymore, so its not that big a deal.

And he was like, Im so wait, what? What did you just say?

Love the proud Dad moments. Way to go Willie.
