Best state in the south for football at all levels (high school, college, pro)?

Alabama TPS. Sorry steve as far as college goes, its a religion down here, next week in the Iron Bowl week , this state will go bonkers and literally to standstill becuase its an unofficial holiday in alabama, ask Bulldawg or stevedrum they will tell you how much football means to the people of Alabama, as far as La. goes, its second IMHO, I say that wiht caution becuase I like the Saints and we all know that their are a lot of rabid dog fans of this team in La. you can testify to that, Steve. I dont want to offend any fellow Saints fans on here becuase I love New Orleans and the Saints, but if its a poll and a pick you want, Steve, it would be a slight advantage to Alabama man, wth La. a close second. Mississippi third, and so on. but Alabama football is like the official spot everybody talks about. in fact the state legislature actaully picks sides on the way the people want to win. Some people make freidnly wagers, bets, or even arguments about it, thats rare that you see that Steve in any other state in this country, maybe La. becuase of the Saints,but regardless Alabama has a religous following of football in every aspects
