That’s right, Mrs. Lynch, who is very active on Twitter, is re-recruiting her son Aaron to Notre Dame. And is doing so by asking one of the best ND alums in the game today, Justin Tuck, to swing by Zahm and convince him to stick around.

This is fascinating for several reasons.

1. LYNCH LIVES IN ZAHM????!?!??!??! NO FREAKING WONDER HE WANTS OUT! That’s problem #1 folks. Get the boy over to Dillon, and he’s Irish forever. Forever Irish.

2. Social Media, and especially Twitter, is amazing. It allows a mom to reach out directly to an NFL star that will be on campus, and it also allows all of us to watch as it happens.

3. Mrs. Lynch is quite the character, but you have to LOVE her commitment to her son and her passion for trying to help him make the decisions that are best for him in her eyes. Yup, it may be tough for Aaron to see on Twitter. Yep, he may get some heat. But she doesn’t care – she knows ND is best for him and she’s going after it. Gotta love it. You go Mrs. Lynch! And you, Justin Tuck, you go to Zahm my man!
