Notice the period for the repeating decimal...112998...an anagram for 1/8/1992, which happens to be the date for kickoff this year, and the year of the first game in FIRST. Probably just a coincidence, but pretty cool.

Edit: I am slightly confused by the Wolfram Alpha result though, because the decimal approximation doesn't show this repeating decimal. I may have misinterpreted, but a cool coincidence nonetheless.

Edit: After further research, I realized by period they mean period as in lamda, no in the grammatical sense.
notwithstanding, that's pretty cool
