Mike Stoops isn’t alone any more.

The Arizona Wildcats football coach was fired on October 10. Since then we’ve been watching the rest of the Pac-12 to see if any other coaches would join him.

Long live the Pac-12!

A very, very long time.

Larry Scott’s announcement that his conference will not be expanding was music to the ears of fans in Arizona, Utah and Colorado. Now those in the proposed Mountain Pod can go back to enjoying the beauty of the Pac-12 South and, you know, real life football games.

Last week we took a look at the composite results from 33 years of Pac-10 football. The problem is the numbers didn’t add up.

I thought I could just take the totals from the 2010 Pac-10 media guide and add in the 2010 season. But when something as great as the premier 10-team conference comes to an end it’s worth doing the extra math.
