ESPN Definition of Sports Dynasty:
"In sports, the term dynasty is often used to refer to a team that dominates their sport for a period of time. Such dominance is usually recognized only after a team has won many championships in a given time (3 in 4 years, 5 in 8 years, 7 in 12 years, etc.). The exact requirements for the label is a frequent topic of debate among sports fans."

The Reds HAVE to be a dynasty in the 70s becasue they won 6 division champiosnhips in 1970 and 1972-3 and 1975-6 and 1979 and 2 world championships
and no one in the 70s comes close
except the Pirates who won 6 division titles
and 2 world championships
and the Yankees who won 3 consecutive pennants (the Reds did not)
and 2 world championships
and the A's who won 5 consecutive division titles (most the Reds won in a row was 2)
and 3 consecutive world championships
ooops

There are a couple of your DLS brethren who have no tolerance for anybody who has a different opinion on this subject than their own. They lower themselves to name calling over and over again. They are fine examples of the DLS tradition.
Absolutely Chicago! Gordon grew up in the shadow of DLS - have to root for him.
Fighting NO battle whatsoever. Expressing an old-school opinion. Could care less what the media-fed masses think. A part of the dumbing-down of America.
Example: Win 2 titles - you've got a dynasty (Florida Basketball). Incorrect. You've got a great team.
Goes along with:
Show up for school - get an award.
No winners & losers in youth sports - everybody is a winner - everybody gets a trophy.
Unlike others, I do not use the current sad state of culture & media to justify my position. I am actually capable of establishing a position without running off to google to find some sweetie website peddling memorabilia to justify a position.
Lemme guess. You probably also believe that when you buy your midlife crisis Corvette that the blonde in the red sequined dress comes with the car.
You cannot be serious...
Your twisted psuedo logic is laughable in my opinion.
I love how you equate "show up for school - get an award" to calling the Pittsburg Steelers (who dominated the NFL for, what?, six years) a dynasty. Give me a break.
I agree that Florida football is not a dynasty, however, your definition is still dead wrong IMO. What's even more funny (and self righteous on your part) is that you pooh pooh dozens (actually more) of great sports dynasties as not being worthy.
What's even worse, is that when you find someone who has a different point of view you lower yourself to name calling and insults. I suppose it makes you feel better about yourself. Congrats.

1. Not sure how the Steelers dominated for 6 years when they only won 4 SBs.
2. I called the Steelers a dynasty - barely.
3. Yes, I operate to a higher standard. No surprise there. You call 'em dynasties, I call 'em great teams. What you think is high IQ I think is average. Go figure.
Next.

St. Xavier...a dynasty? X has been at the top of Ohio for 2 of the last 3 years. For 3 of the last 5 years they weren't even the best in Cincinnati. I am very hard-pressed to say St. X is one of the top programs of the past 5 years. If X wins another State Title in the next 2 seasons and this poll comes up again, then X has a strong argument, but with a 7-3 performance (0-3 in league play), I don't think they should get a vote
Guess what ohio website ohio bias.

Obviously I'm going to be biased toward Ohio, but my top 3 have to be Independence, St. X, and Colerain.
Indy- No matter how weak your state it it's amazing to win that many games in a row, especially after being a Milfordesque program prior to the run.
St. X - 2 State Championships in the best football state in the land, nuff said.
Colerain - Possibly the best team ever to take the field in 2004. 5 losses in a 5 year period, all to eventual state champions in the greatest state for football in the land.

Indy- win streak nuff said
Carroll- state title after state title. taking down many national ranked teams and putting together a nice winning streak. and 3 national titles.
Lakeland- 3 state titles, 53 straight wins, wins over teams ranked #4, #4, #19 during the streak. 2 national titles and the 2005 national coach of the year. Plus a win over ohio's little darlings st.xavier.
no way not to be mean that colerain and st.x top those three. But again ohio bias played a big part in this poll my friend. Because St.X won two titles(umm guess what about 20 other teams won more then that in this 5 year time period.) Colerain fielded an outstanding team in 2004 does that make them one of the top three dynasties over the last 5 years i think not.
I put South Panola over Lakeland, but certainly think Lakeland is there.

sorry But you will get disagreement on many things from your post
2 championships is 5 years is hardly an earth shattering accomplishment
Ohio being the best football state in the land is up for serious debate, even in years when the GCL did not go winless in the Herbie
Colerain was not even a unanimous choice as the best team in 2004, in fact other teams won in more polls, to elevate them to best ever is quite frankly ridiculous
I believe the 5 year stretch includes 2007 where Independence lost two games including a game against a mediocre Elder team
5 losses in 5 years does not compare too favorably to zero losses in 12 years or 5 losses in 20 years by 1,1,1,2 and 8 points PERIOD

2 Championships in 5 years in D1 in Ohio (Where the teams/state championship ration is 1/119) is as good as it gets, especially with the parity in the state and the amount of teams... How many other states have less than 1% of the teams win a title? I also fail to see where you say they weren't a top team in Cincinnati (The ONLY city to ever have 3 teams ranked in the top 25 at the same time, and it's happened twice) for those years because 4/5 years they were either #1 or 2 with Colerain.
In 2004 Colerain was the best team in the country, I would put my wallet on the fact that they would have beaten anyone that year or any other (And I'm carrying some cash right now too...) Again I'm going to go back to the fact that EVERY game they lost in the last 5 years was to an eventual State Champion (That 1 team out of 119 that won the title) and all but the St X game last year came down to the last play if I'm not mistaken.
Yes, it does include this year when Indy lost 2 games, but it also includes what 60 of their hundred and something straight wins?

No, the parties I attend don't involve lame/illogical jokes.
Maybe if Texas had a larger sample size of BCS games, they'd have a few more losses. :shrug:

Nah, doesn't quite work that way. OSU title came in the same decade, just four seasons prior, to their two consecutive championship game losses. Buffalo's titles came roughly three decades earlier than their four consecutive championship game losses. That's not even to mention the fact that Buffalo's two titles in the 1960s didn't even make them the best team at their particular level of play, considering the fact that there were NFL champions to take in to consideration both of those years. You know the difference, you're just being a hard-headed troll.

No, actually I would not. I simply called Chicago out on a joke that clearly did not make any sense. I'm shocked that there are two of you who can't think logically about why the situations are not analogous.
