Summary: 1 year does not a league make

	Mr. Newman's argument is as follows:
"The CCHA won the championship last year. 
Therefore, they are not a weak league".
	
	This argument is only valid if your memory can only hold 1 bit
of information. 1 year does not a league make. 
    OK, *1* year, *1* CCHA team does well in the NCAA's: Even a blind squirrel
finds a few nuts.

>After all, the CCHA is now the conference of champions.
	snort, guffaw! One-bit-itis strikes again! After this Super Bowl,
would you call the NFC West the "conference of champions"? (2 championships
in >= 25 years).

>And Michigan, the eighth place CCHA team
>right now, has won more national championships than any other team.
	all won when Michigan was in the WCHA!
