Actually, there was a contigent of 5 or 6 MSU women who were staying in my
hotel.  I asked them who they were rooting for and they told me that they
were for Michigan all the way.  I was surprised by this but, they said,
"got to get that trophy back in the CCHA where it belongs...."  So not ALL
MSU'ers were rooting for CC.

Agreed!  If I have to hear that song one more time, I might get sick!  :-)
 I'm still singing it in my sleep.  One of the game recap articles in the
Cincy paper told how the UM band broke out in "Hail..." right after
Morrison's goal.  "After all", the paper wrote, "they hadn't played it in
about four whole minutes....."
