I dare say the economic downturn affected places like Louisiana, Kentucky, Mississippi, Ark. as bad if not worse than what happened in Florida.

My best friend did a lot of work with titles on foreclosures in Florida after OneWest bought IndyMac while I was living in Florida myself. We are both from Mississippi originally. I can't speak for the other states you named, but having seen what was going on in both places, Florida caught that way worse than Mississippi did.

Also speaking from first hand experience, Ole Miss went through nothing like the bloodbath that ensued at UF from 2008-2010. All in all, those were pretty solid years here, whereas UF was a bit like Thunderdome.
