Difference is, they (L-Train) did it in the district they were assigned... Just sayin. And it was more than a single "decent" season. The Cards started their Build Back Better campaign after beating the likes of Buna & Kirbyville and before district even started.
Maybe they should trounce the 4A-D1 district (which is possible) and eventually go back "down" to prove a point and be successful there too. Now THAT would be interesting...
