Washington: Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday falls on a rare eight-digit palindrome when written as 02/02/2020 - the only one of its kind this century.

A palindrome, as you might know, is a sequence that reads the same forward as it does backward.

Aziz Inan, a professor of electrical engineering at the University of Portland, collects dates that are palindromes, the way other people might collect coins or chase solar eclipses.

Inan's website chronicles 500 years' worth of palindromes, from the 19th century to the 23rd. He's been waiting for this Sunday since at least November 2, 2011, he said, which was an eight-digit palindrome, too (11/02/2011). Of the palindromic dates, February 2, 2020, he said, is extra-special.

"In this century, in the American date system - which is month, day, year - there are 12 eight-digit palindrome dates," Inan said. But "in this century there is only one such palindrome date which is expressed with eight digits, where you have the complete year number on the right" and the month and day can be swapped.

Put another way: Written as MM/DD/YEAR or DD/MM/YEAR, it's still a palindrome. Contrast that with 11/02/2011 in the US, which is written as 02/11/2011 in Australia.

That makes Sunday's palindrome unusually cross-cultural. It's written as a palindrome "whether you're in Europe, Asia, America - it happens on the same calendar day, which is February the 2nd," Inan said. Sunday is also the 33rd day of the year, which is followed by 333 more days, he said.

Super Bowl will be broadcast on Monday, Australia time.

The previous eight-digit palindrome like this was 11/11/1111, 909 years ago. We'll only have to wait another 101 years for 12/12/2121, but the next one after that comes on March 3, 3030.

"When I share these with my students, with other people and whatnot, most of the time I get a spark in other people's eyes, you know?" Inan said. A palindrome has "this magic power," Inan said. "And also - it is brainteaser."

It would be funny and spooky if the final score in regulation is 20-20, and a 2 point safety wins the game in OT.

Preseason in August, on the sixth with the Hall Of Fame Game. 
Regular season schedules for each team will be revealed in April 2020.
Have a good summer gents. See you for kickoff in September.

So I had no dog in this fight but a lot of niner fans complain that the refs screwed them over.

I saw it as big collapse. They were rushing about 6.4 yards per attempt. Yet never ran to the outside the 2nd half. And Jimmy sheesh..
