Some people in NYC think a lot of people in Nebraska have outhouses in back of their shack. Lol. To be fair some of the Nebraska fans on this forum act like it 😏😜 To be fair on the other hand I find a large proportion of Nebraska fans to be some of the best overall posters on this entire site. Plus for most of the Nebraska posters people would consider among “the worst” I actually like. But I put a high value on people who generate discussion. I can’t say I’m a fan of Nebraska, because I’m not. But I can say I’m a fan of Nebraska fans. That actually goes way back to the 90s when I used to post a bunch on the first popular Nebraska football forums. In any case, I’ve found I have the same feelings on this site regarding Nebraska fans that I had in the day. Overwhelmingly positive.

When I was living in NYC I mentioned I was from Texas, and my interloqutor asked "oh, what's it like living in the midwest?" And I had no idea what to say to that I always think of that famous map of the United States they put on the cover of the New Yorker. I’ll find it for you if you haven’t seen it before. this one? (1976)

There’s been plenty of copy cat maps created since then. Heck, us Texans are just as guilty in our own way. But that one is always my favorite!

Forget the John Cook comments, for me the more shockingly offensive comments were later in the interview... "let's rank the Midwest states... which states are Midwest?.... no, we aren't doing the Dakotas, they're, what do you call it? Flyover?.... (then they also forget to include Ohio and Kansas).... Wait. Are the Dakotas in the Midwest? Really? Shocking lack of basic geography knowledge.... SMH Say what you want about John Cook, but the dude knows where South Dakota is, and actually recruits there, too. When I was living in NYC I mentioned I was from Texas, and my interloqutor asked "oh, what's it like living in the midwest?" And I had no idea what to say to that I live in NYC and people regularly tell me that I'm not from the midwest when I tell then I'm from Michigan. Like... thx for knowing so much about me?? Denying my heritage???

Can't wait for the pin hitter commitment dominoes to start falling. Hope we don't have to wait that much longer! Not until next week… Why is that? Is it because of the timing of Nationals and college camps? I don't have any experience with prep volleyball and no connections with student-athletes, so I'm coming from a place of ignorance.

My condolences to your current living situation. The extremes of the east and west are not good. I was born in the Midwest, grew up in the Midwest, and currently live in the Midwest. In between I’ve lived in both the East and the West Coast. I can unequivocally tell you that Midwesterners have as many misconceptions about the East and West Coast as the other way around.

Humans have misconceptions about one another. Breaking news at 10.
