Our 2009 and 2010 teams were better than our 2008 team, too. Our 2008 team mirrors the 2011 La-Laf team. Both squeaked by a bunch of bad teams.

Yes I do remember the 2009 team being statistically better on offense and defense, but ending with a worse record.

The 2009 team had their schedule stacked against them as well.
