 I agree that most sports fans this way don;t get into College Sports like the rest of the Country.  
I wouldn't exactly call Clarkson, Merrimack, St. Lawrence & RPI powers...........but those Mid West/Western fans know there stuff.  I went to 5 Frozen Fours in a row and talked with a lot of those fans, they know there stuff just as good if not better than the North East College Hockey fans.
