ALL ABOARD THE RECRUITING FAILBOAT
Total number of verbals for Washington thus far for 2009? Hint: it’s the same number as the total number of successful accountants who are also flesh-eating lycanthropes!!!! Wait, we know one of those. Howard Felber. Great dude. We’ll just cut to the chase and use the scientific notation: 3.429 X 10 to the power of exactly jack and shit.
By comparison, Miami, the program Washington upended in historical fashion on two occasions in the past fifteen years, has nine verbals. Not to worry, Husky fans: rival Arkansas State doesn’t have any as of yet, either. So you’ve got that going for you. [/spackler'd]

It’s been too long without football when, despite my blinding hatred for old Ty, my first impulse was to correct the exponent.

Pelican @ 33:
Not to get all meteorological on your ass (there is too much nerdery in these comments already), but there isn’t much snow in Seattle. Rain on the other hand, yessir.

You are assuming of course, that “exactly jack and shit” equals zero. Not so fast my friend. “Exactly jack and shit” is a mathmatical number all its own, and in fact 10^ “exactly jack and shit” equals zero. Look it up.

When Orson started this blog, he was told that there would be no math.
And consequently, when Ty took over the UW gig, he was told there would be no recruiting, just cloning of Jake Locker. Who wants to go to Washington? Bunch of snow, rain and hippies. Only thing good from UW is the UW team from the early 90’s with them speedsters.

“I thought anything x 0 was 0. Meaning 10^0, which is 10 x 0, would in fact = 0.”
10^0 can’t be expressed as 10×0.
Consider 10^2/10^2. When you divide two figures like that with like bases, you subtract the bottom exponent from the top - which gives you 10^(2-2), or simply 10^0. 10^2/10^2 = 1, so it follows that 10^0 = 1 as well.

Damn, you mean all the good golf jokes AND the pizza commercial jokes have been taken? Oh well, guess that’s what I get for being a racist that wanted Ty fired right?
