Mike Tice quotes:

I've cut my teeth as a coach with some great head coaches and some great co-workers and I have been very lucky to have learned a lot of football from all of the above.

If you look at the offense like a fancy car, the offensive line is the engine. Even though we might have nice spinners and nice rims and tinted windows and some neat paint job, it doesn't mean crap without the engine. If the engine's not working, the car might look like a pretty nice car, but it's a piece of crap.

I've always learned when you win a game, no matter what the stats look like, you have to enjoy the victories because they are hard to come by.

I thought last week's game was ugly and this was even uglier.

It's a shame anyone had to lose that. What a great rivalry.

I don't have that same ambition I had when I was younger.

I don't really ever worry about what anyone else does and I certainly don't worry about what anyone else says about me.
