Add to that the game this Saturday (2 Dec) at Bowling Green, who will have had
a week to rest up from their 3-game sweep of Alaska-Fairbanks.  And I'm not
too sure about the game you list on the 14th.  Schedule I have shows Michigan
off after the Western Michigan game until the GLI, especially considering the
fact that BGSU and WMU are scheduled to play in Las Vegas on the 15th.
 
Fortunately for Michigan, their schedule does get noticeably easier in January,
when they open at home with Ferris State, Miami, and two visits from Illinois-
Chicago (though if those games are anything like last year's UIC-UM matchups,
the Wolverines might have their hands full), not to mention another visit from
UAF.
 
(Schedule I have lists the two UM trips to BGSU as 2 December and 27 January.)

Some small corrections to add to Kenneth's post on I-H-L: Attendance at Munn
was announced at over 6700 (an estimate, I think the number was 6729, but don't
quote me), making that the largest crowd there this season (can't imagine why
;-)) and the three stars announced at the game were Ferranti, Carter, and
Alban (not in reverse order).
