I came across this and some of you who are more "hip" than I am, probably get this. I don't. I certainly don't understand how Arkansas was picked as a female "human mutant". I'll list the other SEC teams and you can click the link to see all FBS teams.

Alabama    Captain America
Arkansas    Emma Frost
Auburn    Doctor Doom
Florida    Iron Man
Georgia    Daredevil
Kentucky    Lois Lane
LSU            Hulk
Miss St    Green Lantern (John Stewart)
Missouri    Scarlet Witch
Ole Miss    Blue Beetle (Ted Kord)
S Carolina    Animal Man
Tennessee    Flash (Wally West)
Texas A&M    Green Arrow
Vanderbilt    Jessica Jones

Emma Frost can transform into a diamond like body structure for extra strength and toughness if memory serves. Probably the diamond connection that ties her to us.
"Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats." ― H.L. Mencken

Hogville prediction formula:

1.  Insert bad news prediction. A loss, a recruit going elsewhere, a coach leaving, etc.
2.  Tag "hope I'm wrong," on the end.
3a.  Enjoy a correct prediction.
3b.  Act like you're relieved you're wrong and celebrate with everyone else.

They insult Hulk by tying to LSU. Hulk no like. Hulk smash
That's right, you don't want to be the man to replace the man.  You want to be the man to replace Rory Segrest.

My ex wife had a pet monkey I used to play with. That was one of the few things I liked about her

I'm disgusted, but kinda excited. Now I'm disgusted that I'm excited.

He tells us his methodology.

"I took the win loss records of all the FBS teams that currently are and soon will be and did some math to get a more accurate ranking. I then took the top 100 Marvel and DC Comics characters as determined from a user poll on Comic Book Ratings in 2011 and redistributed them based on total point votes to get a picture of what each team would be if they were a comic book character."

I don't have a long history knowing the X-Men, but I will say...based on the images on the wiki page, Emma Frost may be the hottest comic book character I've ever seen. So guess that's a positive.

Actually, based on his method he gave us a pretty favorable ranking/character.

All-time wins, we rank #22. All-time winning percentage, we rank #35.

I'm assuming this was his poll for characters: https://www.cbr.com/2011-top-200-dc-and-marvel-comic-book-characters-master-list/, in which Frost comes in #17.

To be honest, I dunno anything about superheroes or comic books. The more I think about it, the more I realize I know nothing (even though that's pretty true for myself in most facets of life). But I've never even heard of Emma Frost.

I'm just trying to understand and lay out the guy's methodology here.

If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

Hopefully we'll go from a female Emma Frost to the great "Spiderman"! under Morris!

There is actually a minor hero from Marvel comics called Razorback, first introduced in 1977. His real name is Buford T. Hollis, and is from Texarkana.
