I hate to pick nits, but isn't the UP of Michigan in the Eastern Time
Zone?  This would mean that Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan, well, not
any more, would have swept the Gophs at home.  If not, then I'm just
making an a*s of myself.

I would think that traveling east would be easier than going west, because
if you go east, you play an hour or three earlier, hence getting done an
hour or three earlier, so you may not be as tired.  If traveling west, you
start playing an hour later, or in the case of Alaska, you're playing when
you're usually getting done.  Just my opinion, though.
