If someone (ahem, Boyz n da Pahokee) could embed this for everyone, it would be much appreciated.

For all of you (like myself) who respect Molk a ton, you will love this interview, especially the end.

If everyone on the team is as mentally tough as this kid, or simply mentally tough enough to buy in and follow him, I have no fear for Michigan Football.

I love David Molk the passion he brings to the game is second to none. Imagine a coaching staff with Mike Hart and Molk in 25 years. I wouldn't want to make a mistake on that team.

I uploaded this several hours ago. If the OP wants to embed a video, he can do it himself (thanks aaamichfan) by going to the mgovideo youtube channel in my signature, right-click the video and open it in a new tab or window, click the embed button and copy the code into mgoboard's plain text editor.

This interview is an excerpt from Inside Michigan Football. I will upload the rest of the show tomorrow night.

Who says the boys on D don't have that mind set. If there is one thing that the D has done pretty much all year is never quit. I think Woolfolk being out most of the year was a bigger blow then most of us thought. The secondary has no real leader. Floyd was our "veteran" sophmore leader, and now he's gone.  Everyone bitches about the D regressing, but it doesn't really surprise me when you have a bunch of true freshman in the secondary playing. Its a longer season then it is in high school, plus this isn't high school. Its D1 big ten football.

I get just as pissed at the next guy when a walk-on qb can drop back throw a screen pass on 3rd and 8 to get a first down over and over again.  But what are they suppose to do. They're kids. Eventually they'll get it, and they shouldn't have to be thrown out right now, but thats what we got. No one could have imagined that when RR came in here that  are secondary would suffer from all the crap that has happend.

I'll be there this saturday for my once a season game, cheering for the team, RR, and every part of this team. This team hasn't given up on each other all year. I wonder if the coach has anything to do with that? Go Blue.

The defense is playing to it's collective talent and experience level but there doesn't appear to be any quit in Roh, Martin, VanBergen or Sagesse and the linebackers (God Bless the effort) are trying but limited by their talent level and the secondary should all be redshirting (well, the corners and Big Play Ray, anyway). I'll give them the credit for showing up and giving their best. Unfortunately, their talent level doesn't equal the effort level.

feels like they have to bowl a 300 every game.  Score every possession.

Super.

Well, if any M offense can do it, it's this one.

God speed.

I imagine that Molk is player version of Barwis in terms of passion and not holding back how he feels.  Also, both scare the living daylights out of me.

Is the man. I love his attitude. I would imagine that Mike Martin is the same for the defense. Hopefully they all get rowdy on Saturday and come out strong.

EDIT: Would love to hear what he said in the locker room at halftime.

I remember that there were quite a few players who used to help Jim and Lloyd do the michigan replay show, does anyone know if players are still involved in the behind the scenes work?
