As others have mentioned, La is a larger state, that produces more SEC and NFL caliber plaeyrs
Although, purely on a per capita basis, this is true of Louisiana over all states (but Mississippi is right there with us in second place).

plus LSU does not have another SEC team in the state or even a mid major with some history like USM
This is far more of our advantage that the first factor. Not having to compete with programs of the caliber of Mississippi State and USM for recruits is LSU's big advantage, at least in the 40 years since Tulane's demise. There is no true "mid-major" in Louisiana - Tech and the UL-Whatevers have not taken more than 2 or 3 recruits from LSU in over 100 years. Tulane used to do a little better, especially in New Orleans, but that ship has sailed (thankfully).

I meant in relation to Ms, the overall population of La is larger and we produce more total D1 players, Ms might have the edge per capita, I think it fluxuates. As it is, La is top 10 regardless of size.

The 2 go hand in hand, LSU has a larger pool to draw from and no one to compete with. That's why I don't think OM could get to the level as LSU, unlike TAMU, who can. I think the Texas Tech analogy is a good one. They could certainly get to that level and have more winning seasons than not and occasionaly put together a special team that can make noise a la TTU in 2008. They may just do that in 3 years.
