I'm not a big fan of the 'take-no-prisoners' attitude.  I've seen teams
lose games and sometimes even kill off their postseason hopes with dumb 
penalties due to over-aggressive play too many times, at both the college 
and pro levels.  

Play hard, but play smart too.

You don't have to be 'bad' to be good.
