Which state is most Midwestern?

I would go Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Wisconsin in that order.

There’s nothing “Dixie” about Kansas. I’d argue it’s Midwestern enough to make northern Oklahoma part of the Midwest.
The history of Kansas definitely has some Dixie in it. And if you visit KU, it has some SEC frat culture.

People in Kansas and Oklahoma can be prickly. Nebraska by comparison is much more Midwest nice. Too many abortion and Jesus signs in Kansas for me to feel midwest. I'd rank them

Iowa
Illinois
Wisconsin
Minnesota
Nebraska

Southern Indiana is like Deliverance. The Southern tip of Illinois at Cairo is like a post apocalyptic movie scene.

The bottom tier of Iowa counties can be pretty redneck. I feel like now a lot of other parts of rural Iowa are wannabe rednecks.

I grew up in the sticks of NW Iowa. Had fishing gear in my car from March to December. Had a shotgun in my trunk a lot of times. And when I worked in southern Iowa out of college I felt like I had culture warped to Appalachia.
If you're a multi-generational Illinoisan wanting to know where you land on the north/south cultural divide, it's worth figuring out who your ancestors voted for.

Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

Don't know how many times I need to explain this to you but SCORE never had a chance in the House due to the lack of SBA/Pooling language and strict anti-employee language. But at least Sankey and Petitti supported SCORE without SBA and anti-Super League language. And then you had the House Black Caucus blockade it in the House due to an entirely unrelated issue.

Cruz-Cantwell has a much better shot of getting passed in the House if an unrelated issue doesn't blockade it again.
So the provision that the power brokers and most influential voices want the least (SBA reform) and the fact that it actually makes a stronger provision than the Black Congressional Caucus walked from (capping earning) is what's going to push it over the line?

Good luck with that.

CF After Dark Draft: Best Single game FB performances

That’s what I really remember about watching that Tech game on TV. Every time the camera showed the Red Raiders, you could see how miserable they were and how much they wanted to just go home.
That has to be in my top 10-ish of "unexpected results for victory" in modern ISU FB history (I'll defined as previous 50 years or so). Winning it? I don't think that would have been a shock, Iowa State was somewhat close/almost in quite a few games that season, but winning by 56 wouldn't have been on my bingo card.

My vote is for Indiana. But Iowa is certainly 1B

It can’t be Minnesota, too becuase liberal and too lakey.
It can’t be Wisconsin, because too drunk.
It can’t be Illinois, because big city Chicago.
It can’t be Kansas or Nebraska, because too cringey.
It can’t be the Dakotas, because the dakotas.
It can’t be Missouri or Kentucky, because SEC
Michigan is too stoned and Ohio is full of ********.
