Molk's pregame prep.

According to a recent report, here is a description of Molk's pre-game ritual:

"When talking about harnessing emotion entering Saturday’s game at Michigan State, Mike Martin mentioned that center David Molk has a pregame routine in which he head-butts a freshman to get his anger out so he won't snap too hard. …"

that's like 12 dead freshman a year, unless it spreads to the rest of the team. The student section could get really empty pretty quickly. Maybe that'll reduce the season ticket waiting list.

He went on further to explain the freshman is a general member of the student body and not affiliated with any sport.  It also happens twice a day, every day, starting 5 days before the game and usually near the Espresso Royale on S. University next to the Ulrich's.

I can't find it online, but there was a great article about Terrance Taylor in the Ann Arbor News or Detroit News or Freep (pre-jihad) during his senior year. In it, he talked about how he was the strongest player on the team but that there was some freshman named Molk that would talk smack to him about being stronger. Don't remember the exact words, but TT said that periodically he would have to pin/take down/slam Molk in order to remind him of his place in the hierarchy.

I remember that story because I thought  it was pretty balsy at the time for a three-star freshman to be getting up in the biggest senior on the team's grill. That confidence has since been duly earned.
