Besides revamping their approach a few years ago, I'd say we were just plain due after 20 years of mostly nothing. Basically a combination of some good luck for a change and a philosophy focused on skill and IQ instead of size and brawn. I am having a hard time getting used to it too... but I think I'll manage lol.
