Well, I'm too lazy to read all the replies, but judging from the original post:
Yeah, you're probably right. But there's a reason. It's the same reason why small town folk generally seem more friendly than big city people. The west and midwest teams are more few and far between than the eastern ones, so they have no reason to compete that much. The eastern teams don't have any reason to keep close together, so they compete more.
On a closely related topic, but I didn't really want to start a new thread:
I think there are three types of teams. Of course, it may only be us easterners, but still, nonetheless.
1. Teams who do the obvious thing (this year being going up the ramp in auto, for example). These teams usually never "break through", and after years of work, never have the chance to shine.
2. Teams who do something different (stack slapper, etc). It depends, but on average, these teams are fairly well known (84, 88, etc.). In competition, they do better than the 1s, but not quite as well as...
3. Teams who do the obvious thing (see #1) and are good at it. They usually go very far, and win competitions. Examples: 25, 365, and 222's gettin' up there.
Any comments? I'm sure not every team fits exactly into one of them, but it's at least a basic outline.
