Auburn will still suck.

Let's put this in perspective. Auburn wins one title every 75 years (2 in 150 years).

If Bama never won another title, it would take Auburn roughly 1000 years (14x75) to catch us.

A thousand years ago,..

Gunpowder was first used
The Normans conquered England
Lief Erickson discovered North America.

In other words, Auburn is forever little brother.

Listen folks, IMHO,...as football is the #1 sport, as popular as it is as a cultural icon, and as long as the money flows in, I don't see football eventually petering out. They will find a way to keep it going. I expect it to look the same, but with just better technology with regards to player safety. Look back at the old days of leather helmets and now today, etc. etc.

Yup, as much as people pine over the 'good old days', football generates far more money today than ever before. The only way that happens is more eyeballs...

I have a different view.

I suspect, given the likely societal breakdown coming due to deminished standards of living, increasing crime, overpopulation in urban areas ect., we will see a more authoritarian governance and a rapid reduction in litigation.

Central authorities will see a need for a national blood sport through which the people's growing anger and restlessness may be directed. I predict no helmets, little padding, to targeting rules etc.

Further,American football is likely to become an international sport, serving as a less costly alternate to traditional warfare. This is likely to occur after a limited nuclear exchange convinces the world that the transition to football as a necessity.

Look for marquee matchups such as Israel v Iran and China V Japan to settle territorial disputes that would once have led to war. Image massive defense dollars going into football strategy, as well as the genetic engineering of linemen/ gorilla hybrids designed to play the trenches.

Games will bloody, careers short, fatalities not uncommon. And the stakes? Higher than ever.

In short, we have yet to see the golden age of football. We're in for a thrilling ride.
Lets just have 'Thunder-Dome', one man enter - one man leave... Last man to leave rules the world...!
