King of the Hill works well for all the suburbs surrounding Dallas and Houston.

Friday Night Lights is good for litte towns off in bumblefrick.

I thought Bernie captured small town East Texas fairly well.

The responses are predictable

Missouri have 10 fortune 500 companies for a state population that's around 6mil or a lil under 6 mil. One of the wealthiest college boosters live in Missouri.

Fortune 500 2012

Lets not forget Sprint=Nascar sponser....
Anheuser Busch

400 richest Amercans

That's not including Robert Plasters Family, John Q Hammons,


One of the most powerful boosters....


School ties: University of Missouri (Memphis State, Class of '74)
Age: 53
Reported wealth: $2.2 billion
How made money: Nice marital catch, hooking up with the former Nancy Walton, a daughter of the late Wal-Mart co-founder Bud Walton
How much donated: More than $30 million
School song/cheer: Fight, Tigers
Braggin' Rights: Contributed $25 million in 2003 for the new basketball arena to be named after their only child, then 22-year-old Paige. The Paige Sports Arena lasted only until a "20/20" story revealed the Wal-Mart heiress paid a former roommate $20,000 to do her school work at Southern Cal, which was followed by Paige Laurie's voluntarily surrendering her communications degree. The Lauries previously endowed the E. Paige Laurie Professorship for the Equine Center at the School of Veterinary Medicine and gave money for a new performing arts center on campus. ... Nancy's late father, Bud, put up $15 million and still has his name on the University of Arkansas basketball arena.
The Buzz: Nancy's dad and her uncle, Sam Walton -- co-founders of Wal-Mart -- were Mizzou grads. The seven heirs are worth $83 billion and all rank on the Forbes 400 List. ... Nancy and Bill Laurie both graduated from what was then Memphis State. They moved to Columbia, Mo., after marrying and evolved into fervent backers of the Tigers' basketball team. Mizzou fans regularly vent online about Bill, the starting point guard who led Memphis to the NCAA Championship game in 1973, meddling in the program. He supposedly influenced the decision to hire Quinn Snyder rather than Bill Self when the head job last came open. ... Nephew Josh Kroenke played hoops at Mizzou. ... The couple owns the NHL's St. Louis Blues.


Oh and most of the wealthy people live in the STL suburbs to escape the crime. STL's city limits is like 350,000 but the suburbs is like 2.9mil.


ETA: On a side note after the Joplin Tornado there was so many people amazed at the work ethic of the people in this area, no bitching, complaining, hard working people, how nice the town is. This was on CNN, Fox, etc. Some even made moved here from places like Ohio, Penn, Colorado because they fell in love with the people of this town/state. We still have visitors coming here to help rebuild or visit the city.


That's one of the things I love about Mizzou. They are over 3hrs away from us and their athletes been down here many times helping build homes, clean up, etc along with the pro teams.

Frank Haith brought a truck load of goods, stuffed animals down in a MIZZOU Semi to the campus of MSSU where people was being sheltered. Asked the NCAA to play an exhibition game here so they can donated all the proceeds. People talk shite on Mizzou athletics but they've stepped up big time to help people rebuild in one of the deadliest Tornadoes in U.S. History. They've done just as much for Joplin as the Pro Teams in our state. Classy athletic department.

Texas - Chloe and Llamar, the season where he got traded and acted like a whiney bitch until Cuban got rid of him.

LSU = Duck Dynasty

bayou2003
