Hunter Dickinson, who transferred to Kansas after playing his first three years in Ann Arbor, said on the Rock Chalk Unplugged podcast that while he enjoyed his time at Michigan, Kansans are much nicer.

"I’m super excited when students come back and the towns get bustling and stuff like that. But just walking around, the people are super, super welcoming. Super nice. Definitely get those Midwest vibes," Dickinson said of Lawrence—an anodyne enough observation from the DMV native.

"I feel like at Michigan, they weren’t as nice. They were nice people but not as nice," Dickinson said. "I feel like Michigan is like a fake Midwest. Kansas is actually like a Midwest town. I loved my time in Michigan, but the people here at Kansas are especially nice.”

Maybe the mitten is too close to Canada. Wasn't it Bill Burr who said that Canadians are low-key hostile?
