Joe Milton Interview
Joe did an interview with his old high school coaches this past week.
Joe was on the show for about 20 minutes talking. Start at the 1:01:30 mark of this youtube video.
"My days of being scared in the pocket are over"
October 10th, 2020 at 10:13 AM ^
Hopefully Joe has what it takes.
October 10th, 2020 at 11:20 AM ^
Don't worry, Ponyboy, Joe Milton has the right stuff!
October 10th, 2020 at 2:12 PM ^
Stay Gold
October 10th, 2020 at 2:11 PM ^
This interview is remarkably similar to this interview that was posted Thursday.

The only way to beat OSU is to have Superman as your QB these days.
The good news: Joe Milton just ripped open his practice jersey. Inside was a big f***ing S.
October 10th, 2020 at 12:00 PM ^
So.... you're optimistic?
October 10th, 2020 at 2:25 PM ^
How did WD create a new account with already over 19,000 points!?
I wish I shared your enthusiasm. I'm not getting excited again until we actually beat them.
October 10th, 2020 at 4:03 PM ^
Is "WD" really the only enthusiastic fan left? If so, that's stupid. Why not enjoy some optimism before reality sets in?
Also, if I was posting about apparel, your comment would make sense.
Therefore, downvote.
October 10th, 2020 at 8:17 PM ^
Enthusiasm is welcomed...but inferring that Joe Milton is going to be "Superman" against OSU is delusional. Dude is career 6 for 11 with 2 INT's and one TD.
Therefore downvote and an "apparel post" would have been better.
October 10th, 2020 at 10:19 PM ^
Have you ever seen crazy happen?
October 11th, 2020 at 9:53 AM ^
I sure have! CO's "Hail Mary" verse Michigan. Michigan State blocking our punt and returning it for a TD.
We are Michigan. These "crazy" things don't happen "for us", they happen "to us".
October 11th, 2020 at 9:21 PM ^
Gallon invisibility cloak UTL v. ND was pretty crazy and happened for Michigan.
October 10th, 2020 at 11:36 AM ^
He says he ran a 4.62 the last time they tested him. There's always some bias/home cooking in those numbers, so I imagine it's more like 4.7, which is still pretty good for a guy who's 6'5" and 243 pounds.
October 10th, 2020 at 2:17 PM ^
Yeah, 4.7 would be great. That's linebacker speed, which would be enough to pick up plenty of first downs. With his size, he could be a battering ram on keepers. When OSU won the title in 2014 I remember Cardale Jones running guys over on keepers and it added a great dynamic to their offense.
October 10th, 2020 at 2:27 PM ^
Newton, who national outlets compares Milton to because of... reasons, ran a 4.59 at the combine IIRC.
That's more than enough speed to keep defenses honest (assuming the offense seriously uses the QB as a run threat) and Milton's arm is better than most QBs with mobility (it's better than most QBs period).
Just has to read defenses and be accurate. What's so hard about that... O, right.
October 10th, 2020 at 11:52 AM ^
If he exhibits any sort of a run threat and the ability to roll and throw out of the pocket, it will make this offense so much more dynamic. He's big enough to draw and get some tough yards. I really like the potential here. Just hope he stays healthy!
October 10th, 2020 at 3:03 PM ^
Accuracy from the pocket has been questioned, so unless he somehow shows more accuracy on the run Im not sure that is part of his tool kit (at this time).
October 10th, 2020 at 12:04 PM ^
Super intriguing season just to see Milton progress. It's a developmental year for me anyway, so I have no anxiety. However if he shows great promise this team could be really good next year.
October 10th, 2020 at 3:45 PM ^
I'm very interested to see Joe play, but I wish this were a normal season with a couple of "warm up games" early on, against the likes of Eastern Michigan or Southeast North Dakota Tech or some such.
October 10th, 2020 at 6:09 PM ^
Or App State
October 10th, 2020 at 6:18 PM ^
Never mind.
October 10th, 2020 at 8:40 PM ^
you suck.,,,bad.
October 10th, 2020 at 12:13 PM ^
I'll believe we have great QB play when I see great QB play, I'm sick of hyperbole but hoping for the best.
October 10th, 2020 at 12:40 PM ^
That's why you need to adopt the BPONE strategy of expecting nothing but the absolute worst, that way you're never let down!
October 10th, 2020 at 12:51 PM ^
This is a sad commentary but true. We have not won a B1G title since 2004.
October 10th, 2020 at 4:17 PM ^
I have been doing this for a long time. I can't be upset that they lost when I already had in my head that they will lose. It really is much easier to live life.
October 10th, 2020 at 1:14 PM ^
On an unrelated note, my GF just asked me what the date was and I said "hey, it's 10/10, 2020...happens once a century"
Numbers are neat!
EDIT: I just realized it'll never happen again, duh.
October 10th, 2020 at 1:24 PM ^
I’m just trying to make it to 2/2/22 which is on a...”2’s” day (Tuesday). It’s really the only thing I’m holding on to hope for. Should be great.
October 10th, 2020 at 1:27 PM ^
Nice, I'll be crossing my fingers for ya!
October 10th, 2020 at 2:00 PM ^
2/2/22 will actually be a Wednesday, if we make it that far.
October 10th, 2020 at 6:47 PM ^
Dreams shattered
October 11th, 2020 at 9:26 PM ^
If 2/2/22 is a Wed doesn't that make 2/22/2022 a Tues? Dreams restored.
October 11th, 2020 at 12:55 AM ^
I think you'll probably make it to 3/3/33. I hope to make it to 4/4/44, since I'm about a half year older than Harbaugh. 5/5/55 would be a real stretch. I don't think I'll be around in 6/6/66, unless technology improves to keep us going longer, then who knows, I'll try for 7/7/77, since I would like to see the Tricentennial. I'll be 113 for the Tricentennial.
October 10th, 2020 at 1:49 PM ^
Wouldn't 11/11 2222 and 12/12 2424 be similar patterns?
October 10th, 2020 at 2:41 PM ^
Well yes, good observation, I'm just referring to the particular number of 10/10, 2020.
October 10th, 2020 at 1:50 PM ^
Once in A century
October 10th, 2020 at 2:19 PM ^
Or less, apparently. Only two more occurrences in the next 400 years, then zilch. Oh, numbers, when did you become such a cruel mistress!
October 10th, 2020 at 4:51 PM ^
The Cold Equations.
October 11th, 2020 at 12:49 AM ^
I liked 10/10/10 better but I did not like the day before when sparty clobbered us 34-17 at home. Glad those years are behind us.
October 10th, 2020 at 1:41 PM ^
Major recruiting advantage: "the snow"!
October 10th, 2020 at 6:24 PM ^
Milton has talent, drive, and intelligence. I just hope he has a tenacious and killer demeanor when the pressure is on.
October 10th, 2020 at 9:06 PM ^
Glad to hear it from him. But like others, I’ll believe it when I see it. Been snake bitten too many times.
October 10th, 2020 at 9:09 PM ^
That’s not comforting
October 11th, 2020 at 12:44 AM ^
Hey Joe, what are you going to do with that football in your hands. I'm gonna sling it, 100 yards and stick it in that WR hands.
