re: Describe cultural fit in the SEC

Missouri is hard to figure out. KC is a midwestern city. St Louis is a Northeastern city. South of I-44 is very southern. You talk to people native to each of these areas and hear the differences in their accents, even.

Missouri truly is the confluence of the nation...

- St. Louis is the western most eastern city
- Kansas City is the eastern most western city
- The Ozarks (everything south of I-44) is southern in culture
- Much of what is north of I-44 shares the farm culture of Iowa

Overall the state is very conservative, underscored by the firing of everyone involved in the 2015 protests.
So while still sort of an SEC misfit the state itself shares southern values, even if the University might be more aligned with the Big Ten.

Now Kansas, Nebraska and Oklahoma have their own culture. Dead eyed, sort of inbred, soulless if you will.
