I remember as a kid it was Colemans coffin corner punts that got me interested in kicking.  I have always enjoyed his parts of the broadcasts and other interviews.

Lots of states claim to be "mid western"  why do we never hear anybody talk about the middle eastern states?  I also have heard Minnesota as mid western which makes no sense as it is about a central as it gets in the US.   Silly things we say I guess.

It comes from the Northwest Ordinance in 1787. At the time, it was considered "The West" relative to the existing states. Once America moved further westward, "The West" became "The Midwest" and what we now consider "The West" became "The West".

Northwestern University got its name from the Northwest Ordinance. At the time it was founded, it was in the Northwestern United States.

Many of the "silly things" we say that don't make sense today are rooted in history.

The origin and application of the term mid west state,  and if there's a mid west why not mid east states?  Somewhat explained already by kenny.
