I can do it for now on. I figured out a real easy way to do it. I didn't do it before because the ESPN or NBA.com formats were non-user friendly last time I tried.

So what's your secret?

I did run into the problem of Phoenix Sundays or Oklahoma City Thursdaynder. Have to then Find and Replace those in the future. I can't use "Match Whole Cells" there.

There was a nice Jazz win over the Spurs on January 31, 2007 on ESPN.

Just to let you know, I edited the through January post to go through All Star Break. So if you started already and want to do them all at once, please note they are there and use that.

But where do you copy and paste from?

 

[nuraman00]

I don't remember if I've had a February 29th on a weekend before.

All the ones I remember were always on weekdays.

 

[nuraman00]

The Jazz Were The Worst Team In Sports during the 2008 Leap Day game against the Hornets/Pelicans. That was on national TV.

 

[nuraman00]

Can you post the days of the week, for Leap Days, for the past 40 years? I want to see if it's true that I've never had a Leap Day on a weekday (or at least not one that I remember).

Also, the Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics should switch years. How cool would it be to have an event on Leap Day, or maybe the Closing Ceremonies, for the Winter Olympics?

National Championship Game:


LSU over Clemson

17-7 Clemson over LSU, early in the 2nd.

Pop quiz: between 1912 and 2016, what multiple of four year did not have a February 29th?

Pop quiz: between 1912 and 2016, what multiple of four year did not have a February 29th?

Well, what was the reason why?

Is it part of the leap year rules to omit certain multiples of 4?

Or did they change the law, then change it back again?

This was a typo. I meant I don't think I've ever had a Leap Day on a weekend before. This year's 2020 one might be my first on a weekend.

Or did they change the law, then change it back again?

I have to give you the answer to answer why.

Spoiler: Hint

Every century, they skip to even it out. A year isn’t quite 365.25 days.

 

[MHSL82]

Bump?

The basketball-reference one you gave me.

 

[MHSL82]

Nevermind. They DID have it every 4th year between 1912 and 2016. So 2000 was a Leap Year. But 1900, 1800, 1700, 2100, 2200 and 2300 are not Leap Years.
