Joe Milton nickname

[tone357]

I like this one!

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

I think Rocket Man and Astro Dobbs were kind of interchangeably used for Dobbs already.

Bazooka Joe works just fine.

 

[90 Vol]

After his strong performance in the OB, he gets promoted from overthrow Joe to bazooka Joe.

I punched Jeremy Banks in the face.

I'm Joe Milton and I approve this message.

Or just JB33 KILLA

 

[UTwild82]

Bazooka Joe

Edit: 90 Vol beat me to it.

 

[TnVols16]

Bazooka Joe is good. I was saying Big Throw Joe last night, personally.

 

[Volosaurus rex]

I get the impression that his teammates have already begun to refer to him as Bazooka Joe, so they will have the final word.

Personally, I believe that moniker does not do justice to the strength of Joe's throwing arm. Carl Furillo, an outfielder for the Dodgers in the 1940s and '50s, was known as the "Reading Rifle" in tribute to his powerful throwing arm and the fact that he originally signed with a Reading, Pennsylvania minor league team. To update Milton's "weapons platform" designation, his arm strength reminds me more of a missile launcher, perhaps even an ICBM or surface-to-air missile (SAM), so SAM site Joe could work ... even if nobody else would ever use it.

You aren't wrong. But you put a lot of thought into that one

is this true ?

 

[Stonewall83]

Bazooka Joe for me.

Also 1 more opportunity to publicly say I was frustrated with the guy at the end of the Ole Miss game. But what a teammate/man/brother…. We are damn lucky to have him on our side. Results be darned….he goes 6-6 next year I’ll never question his loyalty or effort. Thankful he’s a Vol!

is this true ?

Was discussed pretty heavily in another thread.

 

[volsfan24017]

I like Tee Martin 2.0. Come in and win us a Natty a year after our QB got jilted of the Heisman.

 

[imbubbaspitcup]

[TennesseeTarheel]

Get Some

 

[AdoptedVOL]

Makes my heart warm seeing VolNation embracing Joe after all the crap he's taken the past year.

 

[Sudden Impact]

Mo Joe

 

[VolBricks]

After he leads TN to the Natty next year we can call him "Champion" Joe or "MVP Joe"

 

[PureOrange]

JoeM3 for me. Keeping it simple.
