        I wonder if Northern Michigan's cries of love lost in downstate
Michigan has anything to do with the fact that in recent years thye've
been pushed around by the WCHA, while the CCHA becomes increasingly
divided between the haves (MSU, Michigan, Lake State) and the have-nots
(Miami of Ohio, Ohio State, Bowling Green).  Better to a big fish in a
small pond, perhaps?
