I know that UNI generally has superior athleticism than other Valley teams and recruits from outside the plains. That does not equate to a thug factor. To me, the thugs are the community college type; the types that cannot get into regular universities without remedial course work and are recruited by lesser programs to serve as speed and muscle for two years. UNI is known, to a degree beyond most other FCS programs, for taking freshman and shaping them into players over the course of five years. That's been the hallmark of UNI success for a long time.
Hard nosed football and dirty are two different animals. The UNI I experienced was hard nosed and dirty. But I put that on Stan Sherrif and the culture he breed at UNI. Except for the incident a few years ago(which got out of hand) UNI plays very hard nosed football.
I think alot of the talk about UNI since our transition shows what a rivaly this game has become. UNI pretty much handed us our ass last year physically but some how we were still in the game at the end. We havent beat you guys yet which shows that UNI has a good football program. One that isnt to be taken lightly. IMO.
This weekend should be a hell of a game. Add the angst between the two for each other makes Games like this what college football is all about. I love it.

When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
