All that Walmart money and a lot less black folk trying to dig out from Jim Crow, you might think Arkansas would be better off than Louisiana.

We're melting over watching a coach who registered the 33rd ranked D in America go elsewhere.

Mizzou's defense was ranked #105(total defense) and #113(scoring defense) in 2021.
They hired Baker as DC and finished #33(total defense) and #55 scoring defense in 2022.
Then #33(total defense) and #25(scoring defense) in 2023.
He literally helped flip Mizzou's defense in 1 year and the reason they did well this past year is because their offense finally caught up.

LSU has an AD that LOVES to throw money around. He throws out huge contracts just because he can. A&M knows him well ... he left us with some really large contracts in his time in Texas.
Losing to LSU on and off the field is really messing with your psyche.

But what about median income?
Once again, Louisiana not that different from other states in the South but clearly above Arkansas and Mississippi.
People who start threads like this really just hate the kind of people that they want so bad on their football and basketball teams.

And 2nd in poverty rates.
Which means the income distribution is what in statistics is skewed. Louisiana's GDP is doing well, we grew about 6% the last 2 quarters of the year (Texas is humming along over 7%). Real Income growth is about 3% which is much higher than other Southern Areas, again Texas is moving along at 5.2%.
Louisiana Mean per capita income is around $29.5K and MO is $31.5K, Mean per capita household (That would income Married households, etc) for LA is $73.7K MO is $78.1 k.

Louisiana income statistics are not this we are the poorest in everything, that is BS. If you plot a Distribution, are Mean/Median Income is not that far from what say yours are in MO, but if you do to the left tail of the distribution, there is about 18.6% LA population at the poverty rate which again is why are income statistics have seriousness skewness.

So other than that, you may now go and have a cup of tea and then pound your chest.

Bingo
If only there some simple explanation why the Deep South and Appalachia have pervasive generational poverty on a much higher scale than the rest of the country.
I just drove thru some dirt poor areas of rural Oregon. Limited opportunities. Most who can leave already left. Pass thru for people with means like me from the big metros with good paying jobs.

All of these people who think there are smart as**** are really dumb a*****. You can tell people who took statistics in college and understand what a Standard Normal distribution is and what a Mean is and standard deviation is and how far 1, 2 and 3 SDs are from the mean, and when you have skewness, you need to understand that (which is why you also always include a Median in the analysis).
As you noted, about 1/3 LA citizens are Black/African American. While I have no sympathy for the Urban Woke Politics in New Orleans (Baton Rouge Mayor seems to have changed her tune) and much of the Urban hip hop/gangster rap culture (I think lots of Black folks are tired of that crap), we have to acknowledge that Jim Crow resulted in a significant disadvantage to Black folks who tried to run a business, go to college, play by the rules and do the right thing. Thus, some of the income inequality (not all) but without a doubt some that we see between Blacks in LA and other ethnic groups from European, Asian, background etc.

The State specializes in Football, Food, Fun and Frivolity.
LSU football is Big Business and it's important for the program to be Top Ten echelon.
Scott Woodward is dropping Big Bucks and Brain Kelly is still in the process of cleaning up the big pile of stinking shrimp and crawfish heads that Shrimpy Orgeron left behind........

Louisiana has also traditionally relied in Traditional Energy (Oil and Gas), in the last few years, LA has had $25 Billion in Capital Investment in Energy, but that is now being diversified into not only traditional energy, but lower emission energy sources such as solar, wind and hydrocarbons.
LA GDP grew at 6.6% the 2nd/3rd QTRS of 2023 (Texas which is booming over 7%) and real earnings are up > 3%. Of course if LA is growing do to Alternative Energy sources, Texas of course will be doing the same thing (no surprise) but at least LA is finally investing in not just traditional Oil and Gas.
I think the LA legislature approved some Wind power leases for off shore LA just last month and Solar Power which 10 years ago was Zero in LA is now 38th in terms of output and with all these new investments, LA is projected to be 19th within 5 years.
So LA is finally taking advantage of its coast to generate wind power and abundant sun for solar power to complement traditional Oil and Gas (including LNG) to diversify its energy sector.

Poor states still have rich people and those rich people are spending it on football coaches and not the poor people.

1 World Series title in my lifetime is still greater than 0 Heisman in Missouri’s history of football.
