    The Cristobal era certainly. The Chip era, virtually never. This current staff is not one-dimensional, stubborn, and predictable. They are not playing a lower possesion style which allows one or two mistakes to allow an inferior team to steal a game.

    What happened under previous staffs with diferent teams has zero impact on results this season, IMO.

    I'm not sure if this is still true, but two weeks ago, USC had recovered EVERY fumble in thier games (their own or their oppoents). Never seen that type of turnover luck in my life!

    I would argue it happened in the Mark Helfrich era as well.

    Helfrich, nor any of the players from the 2016 roster have any impact on outcomes this season.

    Different coaching staff, OC, DC, roster, scheme, opposing coach, etc etc. I don't think those things carry over.

    You could make the same case for injuries and the blazers curse, but here we are Tince. Here we are……

    Probably no surprise to you, but I also don't believe in Blazer injury curses as a future predictor of Blazer injuries. I'm assuming you don't either, right?

    I only believe in the curse when injuries happen, if injuries don't happen then I don't believe in it.

    The Beavs are behind a team called "Liberty"? What's their mascot, a bell?

    Happy to see the Beavs finally receive a well-earned Top-25 ranking.

    Anyone else notice the "other" OSU lost 48-0 yesterday? And still ranked at 18?

    So YOU'RE the reason why we still have the curse?

    Hahaha... I wish I had that much power; things would be a lot different! Not sure if it would be better or worse!

    I do not think this will happen (I could list off the reasons why), but the rumors are already starting.

    very unlikely

    but if it did, the Ducks could simply promote Dillingham to HC

    Having grown up a fan of the PAC it pains me to say this...but I am pretty sure that anybody out of the SEC see a PAC job as nothing more than a temporary stepping stone.

    The SEC certainly has a lot more to offer.

    I don't think Jonathan Smith or Dan Lanning leave their current jobs for a job at Vandy or Kentucky, so there are likely other factors at play.
