He sure picked a strange weekend to visit Happy Valley.

He said he loved the 'funereal atmosphere'.

His dad's an undertaker.

Some details on the switch to StatePenn from an article today in the Buffalo News:

Interesting quotes:

"But deep down in my heart I always wanted to see Penn State. I always had an admiration for it since I was in fifth grade when I bought that Penn State varsity jacket."

Penn State never stopped recruiting him despite Lynch's verbal commitment.

and good news for SU and its new conference... (my boldface type)

"It started off with ACC [Atlantic Coast Conference], then went on to the Big 10, the Big 12 and eventually the SEC [Southeastern Conference]. In football, it has always been important to me to play in those big conferences, but for schools to also hold that academic integrity as well."

I'm sure Lynch is not the only player who feels this way about choosing a school partly based on its conference.
