I get that.  My family came from there to CT, then I went back there for a stretch including law school.  In 1971 people in CT asked my parents, who moved us from Overland Park, KS, whether there were still "Cowboys and Indians" battling in KS.  Incredible. No internet so all people knew of the place came from TV/movies unless they traveled.

In law school, one of my professors made some comment about nobody understanding hockey, then looked at me and said, Oh yeah, except that guy.  That was 1991.  There weren't NHL teams in Phoenix, Miami, Las Vegas etc.  Internet was via a 5600 baud modem and the WWW was mostly raw html text.

Today?  The cultural differences are greatly diminished.  There are some, but it's not anywhere near what it was.  You can get amazing New England IPAs at Lawrence Brewing.  You can get good BBQ in CT.  People on this board live stream some guy in Texas trying to eat a steak.  We've a bit more connected than we were.

What I can say is that whether it is KU, K-State, Iowa State, Ok State, they have passionate fans that care about college sports and college basketball.  We've seen it with Creighton, which is the one Big East school in the region.  We know Cinci and WVU and Houston well enough.  [URL]http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/m_basketball_RB/2023/Attend.pdf[/URL]
