I think my friend Kevin is right, but I don't know enough about football to know for sure. I was retailing the argument that the US is (and will continue to be) a "power," just not a "superpower," i.e., without the globe-girdling dominance that we have enjoyed since 1945, or at any rate since 1989. Cf. Roger C. Altman, "The Great Crash, 2008," Foreign Affairs, 2-14 January/February 2009.
Kevin nodded. "Like," he said, "Notre Dame in football."
That's right, isn't it?
