re: Is Tuscaloosa the worst SEC college town?

Starkvegas much better college town than Red Stick. BR is a stinky , polluted mess of a city. At least Starkvegas is a true college area. Most of the SEC campuses are metropolitan now and have become slick urban areas. In this case, a smaller population is a win. Haphazard growth has hurt a number of the SEC cities.
Starkvegas has grown over the years but it has been a slow moderate growth that has allowed the town to keep its charm.

Now going forward it will continue to grow and unfortunately end up like some of its brethren around the conference but for now it is one of the best college towns in America.
