re: If the SEC added West Virginia instead of mizzou would we call them Yankees too?

The Capitol Building is an odd comment.. It is considered as one of the most beautiful in the Country.... WV is a truly odd State culturally. The Eastern Panhandle is more like Maryland and Virginia. The Northern Panhandle is more Ohio-Pennsylvania. The Southern Coalfields are what I would term Hillbilly-Martian.... really different....most areas of the State are very conservative and the cities are much more liberal and drug and crime infested...
I do feel like Missouri, Texas, Alabama,etc. that there are a lot more decent and hard working people than in a lot of States.
Stereotypes are just perceptions and they are not rooted in reality..for most people.
Although the drug problem is a reality here as well as everywhere else in America...
