ake a crack at this, Slow:
In the 1950s Illinois had more white people than La.
So, why was LSU so much better at FB than U. Ill?
I was in Illinois in the 1950's. hoops was king.
No one ever EVER talked about football at my high school, Rantoul (nearest town to Chanute, the AFB).
But we had 4 starters 6 5" and went to the sweet sixteen.

I would say weather and our priorities. A HS student in LA is known for life for how many TD's he scored, not his ACT score.
