Michigan Football’s Ex QB Joe Milton Drops Honest Take On Big Ten Vs. SEC
SEC Media Days are currently taking place and one of the representatives to take the podium on Thursday for Tennessee football was QB Joe Milton. Milton is now QB1 for the Volunteers, but he once was the starter for Michigan football before transferring over to the SEC.
When it comes to power five conferences, it’s hard to find more a group of fans from different schools that band together like SEC fans. They hate each other when they play one another, but when an SEC team plays a school from another conference, fans of all SEC schools will join together to root on an in-conference foe.
SEC teams and fans believe they are the best, and now that Joe Milton is part of it, it appears he feels that way too after dropping an honest comparison between the Big Ten and SEC.
“Guys, they may be 200 plus, right, but they’re running,” Milton said at Media Days, via Saturday Down South. “Those guys are running. For example, my first let’s say big SEC game, I won’t mention who it was, but I was running, and I saw the goal line. I was so happy. I’m thinking that I’m going to score, right? I just feel a big old hand come across my visor. I just went with it. At the same time I was thinking, This game is real. Those guys in the SEC can run and they’re fast.”
Milton seems to believe that SEC teams are recruiting the biggest and fastest players in college football, making for a more intense game. He must’ve not experienced that in his time with Michigan football.
Last season, Milton appeared in nine games as the backup and threw for 971 yards, 10 TDs and zero interception. The hype around him heading into this season is loud.
The aurora borealis lit up the night sky in Michigan on Monday and Tuesday, according to the NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center.

Social media posts from the Northern Lights
What are the northern lights?
The northern lights are caused by collisions between fast-moving particles (electrons) from space and the oxygen and nitrogen gas in the atmosphere, NASA said.
Why do the northern lights have different colors?
The color of the aurora depends on which gas is being excited by the electrons and on how much energy is being exchanged, NASA said.
Oxygen emits either a greenish-yellow light (the most familiar color of the aurora) or a red light; nitrogen generally gives off a blue light. The oxygen and nitrogen molecules also emit ultraviolet light, which can only be detected by special cameras on satellites.
When is the best time to see the northern lights?
If the weather is clear, the best aurora is usually visible within an hour or two of midnight, according to NOAA.
The agency maintains an aurora dashboard that should help skygazers track the phenomenon.
Can’t see the northern lights? Use your phone
If you’re having trouble seeing the northern lights with the naked eye, try using your phone camera in night mode and hold still while capturing the photo. You might be surprised at what’s dancing in the sky.
How can I find out when the northern lights will appear?
There are several sites that track northern lights.
NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction website shares information about the strength of solar storms, when they will reach Earth and where the northern lights may be visible, among other information.
