My wife and her sister are from Mississippi and always tell me we're in the Midwest. Since the Southerners don't claim us, do you?

I agree. Great Plains kinda makes you The West. Although I used to live southeast of Tulsa and it was very much Ozarks Foothills. The soil and even the trees subtly change and the hills start to roll. The land just looks worn and older. There are many more exposed outcroppings of chert, granite and shale. Besides, most Oklahomans place football conference above all. Are you with the SEC? Big Twelve?
