It proves 2 things:
1. A good comparison as to what is happening in the SEC's towns over the past few years in terms of growth and progress
2. Baton Rouge is just as crappy as LSU's fans

Except it's not...the whole point of being a "college town" requires your college students to leave said college town upon graduation.
City Population: 25k
University Enrollment: 21k
You do the math.

So you're saying students from literally every other SEC school is doing it wrong?
Or is it because Starkville is a shithole and everyone wants to leave?

NW Arkansas is a good place to live, just not for me. Over populated, headed back to central Arkansas in August.

When the decade started, metro Starkville was slightly larger than metro Oxford. Now just 8 years later, Oxford is over 10% larger in population and the gap is widening quickly.
