Because you guys never cheap shoted anyone when you played football? Or am I just a little different because I would hit people behind plays or drill the qb after an Interception?

You'd be exactly right on this one.I don't know Trev, but I've always gotten the impression that he's quite smug and really could give a rats rear end that he's from Cedar Falls, Iowa.
And about cheap shots... they happen. The only playing time I ever see anymore is pick-up games with my friends and rivaling music fraternities (KKY-PMA football, anyone?) and even then cheap shots happen. I can say with honor that I've only done it once, and that was because a kid took out one of my fellow teammates. We got over it, and all went to Pepper's afterwards. It's all good.
No point to that story other than cheap shots during the games are rarely personal. Off the field is another story.

"In the Farley Era:
*Two top 5 1-AA national rankings, three top 25 rankings overall
*UNI has competed in two playoffs, advancing to one semi-final game
*Steady climb in home attendance, culminating in 2003 with the 15th highest average in 1-AA
*The Panthers have had one Gateway Football Conference Defensive Player of the Year, one GFC Newcomver of the Year, one GFC Freshman of the Year, and head coach Mark Farley has received one league Coach of the Year honor
*UNI has had 17 first team all-conference honorees since 2001
*23 Panthers have been named to conference All-Academic teams since Farley's arrival, seven to various academic all-star teams
*38 players have received league Player of the Week honors since 2001
*26 Panthers have received various all-American honors during the Farley era, two to various other all-star teams
*Four Panthers have been invited to various post-season all-star games
*Coach Farley set league records in 2001 for all-game victories (11) and Gateway victories (6) for a first-year coach and won AFCA Revion IV
*Coach of the Year honors and was the Gateway Coach of the Year in 2001
*UNI's offense has produced four consecutive 1,000-yard rushers
*The 2004 Panthers ended the season ranked 20th in the Gridiron Power Index, the third time in the last four years to finish in the top 20. UNI was fourth in 2001 and fifth in 2003."
And then there's this page as well... it's dedicted to The Black Shirts, which is our group of 10 players that act as absolute leaders and help to determine our goals and expectations.
The Black Shirt 10 Commandments are as follows:
1. Thou shalt stay FOCUSED at all times.
2. Thou shalt COMPETE and attack on all cylinders.
3. Thou shalt keep a POSITIVE outlook at all times.
4. Thou shalt approach each day with great DISCIPLINE.
5. Thou shalt approach this game with great ENTHUSIASM and INTENSITY.
6. Thou shalt always FINISH strong.
7. Thou shalt always remember that ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.
8. Thou shalt always MEAN IT, BELIEVE IT, OR DON'T DO IT.
9. Thou shalt place great emphasis on the FOURTH QUARTER.
10. Thou shalt NEVER MISS A WORKOUT.
Okay I realize that was long... but when I get chills, I have to share my excitement. Whew, I'm done
