Ryan was part of the expansion that happened during the 2008 season.

2008 - Championship Run

With the expansion in 2008, Ryan joined his IBWIP partner Blake in his division. Ryan joined newcomer Travis for the first year in MFL. Ryan had a bad start to the year by losing his first 4 games. However, Ryan came back and won 7 of his next 8. In the first round of the playoffs he defeated an ownerless McConnell. For the second round he beat division winner Blake. In the Conference finals he beat the red hot Aaron Hughes. In the finals Ryan took on Andrew Hughes who went 9-3 during the regular season. Ryan was able to win the 2008 Championship.

Ryan won 11 of his last 12 games including the playoffs. Had Ryan lost one of those matches then the playoff seeding would have been different and he wouldn't have gone as deep. One of the things about this team that surprised everyone is that Ryan was absent for the draft. He had done the first couple rounds and set an autopick lineup.

2009 - Absentee Owner

Ryan was set to join the league in 2009 but after he failed to show up for the draft, his team was drafted by the commissioner for him.

Legacy

Ryan's best legacy is the run he made during the 2008 season.
