Interesting connection between the two schools (that was probably mentioned the last time they played)...Stan Sheriff: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Sheriff
He was the UNI head football coach from 1960-1982 and AD from 1970-1983, and was instrumental in the construction of the UNI-Dome (https://unipanthers.com/honors/hall-...tan-sheriff/16). The field in the UNI-Dome is named Stan Sheriff Field.
He then returned home (he was born in Honolulu before Hawaii was a state) to become the AD at Hawaii from 1983 until his death in 1993. Although he didn't live to see it open, he lobbied for the construction of a new basketball/volleyball arena at the school which broke ground in 1992 and opened in 1994. In 1998 it was named the "Stan Sheriff Center": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Sheriff_Center
