Depending on what part of Harrison County you're talking about, LSU is roughly 2 hours closer than MSU and more than 3 hours closer than Ole Miss. I suspect the only reason LSU doesn't completely dominate that area is out of state tuition.
Also, slightly off topic, Alabama is roughly the same driving distance from Harrison County as MSU and Auburn is not much further away than MSU and is closer than Ole Miss. FSU is a decent amount further than MSU bust still closer than Ole Miss.
It really has taken a crazy amount of bad leadership over the years to make sure our two major universities are clustered in the north and east of the state and that neither have a major interstate going by them.

Driving distance means nothing to the "Alabama fans" in my county. Most of them have never been to a bama game or know the way to Tuscaloosa.

Of the many Bama fans I know, only two actually graduated from there and neither wear Bama gear or have Bama stickers or tags on their vehicles.

I think most Bama grads pay enough for that piece of paper to live in trailer park.

Didn't mean to imply that it did. But as far as I can tell, the coast is full of people that actually attended LSU or at least had a parent or child that did. And they actually attend games. Just a different animal than alabama fans.
