ISU's Guide to UConn

That's the Midwest. If you go to rural parts of the Rocky Mountain states people act like that there as well. When I moved from Virginia to Wisconsin, I was pretty shocked by the "niceness". But you get used to it. People still stop to help other people change tires. Pick up hitchhikers. We used to work ungodly hours training Reservists going to Iraq so we would eat dinner late at night at greasy spoons in uniform. Truck drivers who made less money than us would pay for our dinner and leave before we ever had a chance to thank them.

Honestly, I think people on the east and west coast should spend a couple weeks in the flyover states to be reminded that there is another way to be. But that's just me.

When I went to the final four in San Antonio in 2004 I was taken aback by the niceness of the people there. Dook fans were still though.
