Today is Superbowl 48. Since we've begun keeping track of this event, its been written in roman numerals. Those numbers, should you not remember your schooling, are: I - for 1; V - for 5; X - for 10; L - for 50; C- for 100, etc. And there is a method in which we configure the combinations in between. Superbowl 195 should read CVC, but will we still have Superbowls that number in the hundreds?
Some Superbowl numbers were more interesting, such as number 30, or XXX. Name your poison sort of thing. (The teams playing that year were the Dallas Cowboys, and the Pittsburgh Steelers. To jog your memories even further, the Cowboys won.) The Superbowl today has an interesting mix of numbers...XLVIII. The next two are not going to be as interesting. Superbowl 49 should read IL, and 50 will just be L.
If you're printing t-shirts, or making other paraphernalia for the Superbowl, this might be a challenge to your creativity. Hard to fill up a shirt, or cap with just an L, or even before that...an IL. And the thought of an IL should bring all sorts of commentary as to the value of the game, depending upon which teams prevail. Sure to be plenty of puns for that game!
Something to think about after today's brouhaha settles down, which should be in about a month, or just before the basketball madness starts!
Watching the game, and rooting for...I'll never tell...on Day 236!
