Why Jalen Milroe made Crash Davis and Bryce Young proud Saturday night.
The fictional minor league catcher played by Kevin Costner in the classic Bull Durham famously schooled a young pitching prodigy on the art of interview answers. He had Nuke LaLoosh take notes on the greatest hits from “playing one game at a time” to “I’m just happy to be here.” Tim Robbins’ character complained they were boring.Later in the film, they cut to LaLoosh firing off the cliches one at a time after getting called up to the bigs.
It went on from there, crediting teammates, respecting the opponent and getting 1% better one day at a time. Requests for specifics were artfully batted away, deferring grading of his performance to the coaches while noting he needs to improve “everything.”He’s from Katy, just outside Houston, so this Saturday’s visit must be something special, yeah?
“Honestly, just another opponent on the schedule,” Milroe said. “Just day by day, try to improve and Saturday, our success is going to come from our preparation. So no matter the opponent, we’re just going to take it one day at a time.”Just a masterclass in answering the traditional questions. Confident and prepared, Milroe never hesitated.
“No, it’s just another game on the schedule,” was the reply to a second crack at the Texas question. “… You’re just blessed to play the game, no matter who it is, I’m blessed to play the game. Just like today, the first thing I do is be appreciative to be able to play football.”And this is where the printed word doesn’t do it justice. Milroe’s calm demeanor broke and he cracked up laughing. See the video below for the full context.
Texas native Jalen Milroe cracked up when asked if he had Longhorn fans in his family. Said he had a Vince Young jersey growing up.
