Hey, John, stop making the effort.  Folks at UMass-Lowell *want* UMass-Amherst
to stay exactly that.  Calling them "UMass" gives a token of legitimacy to
their chants of "We're the *real* UMass" at UML-UMA games.  Hockey East has
deferred to Lowell in this regard, calling the two schools "Mass-Lowell" and
"Mass-Amherst" despite requests out of Amherst to be called "UMass".
