Mike Tice's kid is a Badger

Did you know that Mike Tice's son is a Badger?

During the game Saturday I was scanning the roster to familiarize myself with everyone's new numbers (Kyle Jefferson and Jay Valai are on their third numbers in three years, it appears) and the walk-ons, and I noticed that we have a quarterback from Edina, Minn., on the team. Having a good friend from Edina, Tim Toohey, I had to check it out.

His name was Nate Tice, a quarterback -- a big one at that, 6-5, 230. Still didn't put the name with the dad until I read his bio.

Had to laugh. The first thing I remembered was a funny story Erik Olson once told us about Tice the Elder. Locker room talk that I don't feel comfortable relating here, but ask Erik about it next time you see him.

Tice was easy to make fun of when he was with the Vikings, but then again, most of their coaches in the last 20 years have been. His son seems like a bright kid (Conference USA Honor Roll at Central Florida) who can hopefully contribute to our program.
