If you are going to blame New Orleans' downfall on white flight, then you ought to examine the reasons for white flight. People want a better life, so they move if they perceive a better life across the parish line or across the lake. If they can move and have fewer hands in their pockets, why shouldn't they? Again, it's the same across the country, liberal Democratic policies reduce economic and personal freedom and people take notice. And once you become a sh*thole, and rely on digging in other's pockets, it is almost impossible to reverse course.

New Orleans' decline started before Moon Landrieu, but he helped it along. The city's population by decade has fallen from:

1960 627,525 (62% white, 38% black)
1970 593,471
1980 557,515
1990 496,938
2000 484,000 (28% white, 67% black, 3% hispanic)
2010 343,829 (33% white, 60% black, 4% hispanic)
2020 383,997 (32% white, 54% black, 6% hispanic, 3% asian)
Now 357,767 (31% white, 55% black, 8% hispanic, 3% asian)

Healthier and Coca-Cola? Nobody in their right mind attempts to put those concepts together.

This year will mark 62 years in a row that LSU plays Alabama. Grizzly, get some perspective.

Yes, and a garbage man is a sanitation engineer.

That image is all the confirmation you need. LSU is relegated to the Southwest conference:

The real problem for the LSU fan is TA&M doesn't move the passion needle. We just don't care about them. It's hard to get fired up for someone you don't think about.

We really cared about our annual meetings with Ala. and Fla. (and Auburn, for the couple decades we had them as an annual game).

Tiger Droppings has its own page with head-to-heat history. Which is what I used in identifying our four most traditional SEC rivals.
