Best state in the south for football at all levels (high school, college, pro)? (1 Viewer)

[Mr. Blue Sky]

It's ashame we're not talking per capita.

We're big, and a higher percentage of our population aspires to be more than an amateur football star, thus the lower per capita.

...Oh, so I was wrong- it DIDN'T shut up all the Texas homers... Carry on with your mindless babble........

...Nice post Greg- Hope this shuts up all the Homers, esp. the Texas ones... I find it interesting that Hawaii came in at #4- Who knew??

Yeah Hawaii isn't a state that you think of immediately...But if you think about it....they have some big boys over there. Many of the NFL guys with those odd names are from Hawaii....guys like: Toniu Fonoti, Chris Fuamatu-Ma'afala, Ma'ake Kemoeatu, Olin Kreutz, Vince Manuwai, Itula Mili, Chris Naeole, Dominic Raiola, Isaac Sopoaga, Pisa Tinoisamoa, Kimo von Oelhoffen......Can't think of his name off hand but that rookie DT from Tennessee....never set foot on the mainland until college....another big boy.
