You have absolutely NO idea what you're even talking about.....
you are just flapping your gums and playing Mr Retard for points.

You failed!

So tell us then, what power programs were effected?

A bunch of crap teams that ECA, West Monroe etc were gonna kill regardless during that time frame

People just really have NO idea how big Hurricane Katrina was and the impact it had in Louisiana and Mississippi. Simply put, nothing was really right for quite some time.

I guess the books and movies about it all don't compare to all the books and movie/s about DLS winning 151 high school football games in a row...... but nevertheless, Hurricane Katrina was very very real.
DLS winning 151 games in a row still doesn't seem quite real to me..... but they fluffed it pretty good especially in the movie...

ECA and West Monroe were your states dominant teams during those years.  Which one of them was effected by Katrina?

Curtis would've been effected, but mainly the crappy privates from the crappy league you prop up such as : Holy Cross, John Ehret, Augustine, Rummel etc and the crappy public schools from NOLA.

Louisiana not fielding nationally elite teams in the current landscape can be explained by one, and only one reason: money. Louisiana is a poor state with very little in the way of areas of concentrated wealth. This means there aren't really any programs with lots of financial backing. And that means there aren't any programs that can load up and consistently get a large concentration of the best talent in the area. And that's what schools have to do to be able to compete on the national stage in this day and age.

This also explains why another state with lots of great players- Mississippi- also never fields a nationally elite team. If there were programs that could load up on transfers etc and get a near monopoly on the best local talent- a la Mater Dei, SJB BG- in either Mississippi or Louisiana, said program(s) would be able to play with and beat *anyone*.

The above dynamic also explains, in reverse anyway, why teams in western states not named California are often much better than are recognized, or that you would expect based on the quantity of talent available statewide. There are pockets of great wealth in suburban Phoenix, suburban Seattle and even the SLC region in Utah. There isn't anywhere near the concentration of talent in those states as there is Louisiana and Mississippi, but there are very wealthy programs that are well-off enough to get a near monopoly on the best players in the region. So, you get some real all-star teams in those states that are soemtimes good enough to win on the national stage.

I don't know about all that.
Louisiana and Mississippi have some of the best football.
facilities in the nation much better than Flordia. Plenty of money when it comes to high school sports In Louisiana and Mississippi

We just do NOT play transfer ball or roster raid every offseason down here.

Everybody in South Florida this year has a brand new QB that transferred in already. I hope they work out.

In South Florida alone they will most likely be between 500 and 1,000 transfers this year. My guess.

That's just not going to happen in Louisiana and if you think it is you're just kidding yourself.

Louisiana is about as pure as it comes when it comes to high school football.
Think Crystal Blue Lake without the transfer pollution.

Louisiana and Florida high school football coaches are almost paid identical salaries.

I saw the Carrollton, GA head coach makes almost $220,000 a year.

I really don't know how good that guy is, but that's not going to happen in Louisiana. These Cajun coaches just love it and would probably coach for minimum wage

Louisiana has all of 11 schools with over 2000 students; Mississippi has none. That to me is a far bigger factor than money or even transfers has in building nationally-elite squads.

and two or three are relevant, Gaybob813 if they are even approved. That takes three or four months.

Nine transfers going into May in Louisiana. Shocking!
And you don't have to search for shit. There's a transfer tracker thread on the Louisiana forum where you got that.

Dumb fuck!

I just absolutely 100% hate a dumb f***!.

What does school size have to do with anything?

10 years from now Allen High School in Texas will have 9,000 students and a 3,000 member band 🤠🏈🤠.

They really do underachieve what that enrollment!

What does school size have to do with anything?

The easiest path to high school football success is to have more fast kids, more strong kids, and more big kids. The easiest path to achieve that is to have access to more kids.

Sad that you had to break it down that way for that simpleton....
