[Husker] Division Names

[Matt]

I've always thought that Great Plains and Great Lakes were really cool names
and pretty appropriate.  Sadly, the Michigan schools (Lakes) and Nebraska
(Plains) are in the same conference.

One other thing these states have in common is Native American history
(well, every state has that in common).  Maybe something like the Iroquois
and the Winnebago or the Algonquin would be cool, if it didn't offend
anyone...
