5...4...3...2...
7 months later, this thing finally comes to an end. It's been a good ride, but its time to get off (for this year).
2005 was a weird year. We had this amazing period where all the dynasties were top notch. Then there was the GC05, and its something that we are still recovering from. Although, to be honest, this isn't a bad time to be in the dynasty forum. Check out all the good stuff! There is so much good reading out there. You should take some time to explore for yourself. To the writers, this thread is for you. I hope you got some recognition, some fire to write, or just some much needed readership. Without you, there would be no "Top 75" thread. Without you, there would be no dynasty forum. There are so many great new dynasties out there, that I can't even begin to name them. There are also some really great oldies out there that are still being updated. As I said before, explore and Rock on! To all you readers out there. Thanks a lot for the comments! All 44 of you who posted a thought/idea/whatever gave me the motivation to finish this thing. It was a little later than I had planned (mostly because I have a life and a job now), but it got done and I look forward to a trimmer and fitter version of this countdown next year. I can't have it be the colossus (in size only) that it was this year. Look for that in late December/early January. So here's the last of the popcorn of the year, and we are off to #1! Enjoy the , leave your , and get ready to , as "The Top 75 dynasties of 2005" counts down to its conclusion. Right... NOW!

#1 – “Yet Another OOTP6 Dynasty, Year 2: One Flew Over the Pale Hose”
Started by: cknox0723 Where it began, I can't begin to know when But then I know it's growing strong Oh, wasn't the spring, whooo And spring became the summer Who'd believe you'd come along Hands, touching hands, reaching out Touching me, touching you Oh, sweet Pale Hose Good times never seem so good I've been inclined to believe it never would For the second year in a row, Craig’s dynasty tops the countdown, and to be honest, no one else was even close. More replies, more views, more varied posters, the plight of our beloved Pale Hose has been fun to follow. But something happened in between last year and this. Somehow, inexplicably, they got good! No more rooting for the loveable losers from the south side because the reclamation project is ahead of schedule. Much like Neil Diamonds song, “Who’d believe you’d come along?” This team was no good last year, and suddenly they are in first place? With a chance to make the playoffs? AFTER the All-Star Break? Who are these guys? The Pale Hose. That’s who! Craig came back with year two of the white stockings…. Speaking of which, I did a search of the ENTIRE thread for the term "White Sox.” One would think that a thread based on the Chicago White Sox, this term would leave me looking at a ton of posts. But no. 23 23 posts in all 40+ pages of posts, only 23 references to the term “White Sox.” Here, I’ve broken it down for you: Code:
Posts with "White Sox" in them: Craig 15 Everyone Else 8 Breaking Down Craig’s Posts: Radio Call 4 Newspaper 1 Standings 2 Peter Gammons 1 Just Excited 1 The White Sox weren't in last... they made it all the way to... gasp... 4th! Reply Post 6 He was "out of character", or replied to a post where someone else had written the words "White Sox" I, however, did have a problem with this year’s version. Much like myself in this year’s version of the Top 75, I think Craig had a hard time “finding himself.” Yes, he could have done what he did last year, but as with everything, acts get old. He really hasn’t changed format much since last year, except that maybe the lengths of his posts are a little longer. But because this was a new thread, I think he felt that he needed to one up himself, or at least that’s how I saw it. “One Flew Over the Pale Hose” had a few growing pains, but settled into its groove. And now its flowing along just as it should be, finding its voice and rocking out! Also, let me say that I can’t believe he can take a league so slowly. It’s been over a year, and he is still doing that same season. And if you happen to read it from the beginning, just a note that the thread starts in early February, but Craig doesn't start the season until early May (on page 16 or post #325). And what a season that it has turned out to be! Go Pale Hose! Worth a Look Score:

Congratulations, Craig!
And you also, Yoda, for sticking through and seeing it to the end. I know it can't be easy doing this every year.

A big congratulations to Craig. Well-deserved, for sure. And not a big surprise, I might add.
And thanks once again to Yoda. Your hard work and dedication is very appreciated by those of us addicted to the dynasty forum.

Congrats Craig, you really deserve it, the Pale Hose is loved by everyone.
You did an amazing job with this once again Yoda. I'm happy that I made the top 30. I'm trying to come up with a new idea for a dynasty, so hopefully I'll be back on here next year.

I'm late, but thank you, to Y0DA and everyone else. I don't like to mention it, but it is a great source of pride to me, this internet message board dynasty, the wonderful reactions it elicits in myself and others.
Please, to all reading this, continue to read these dynasties if you enjoy them and always, always, always hit the reply button to share your thoughts, even if it's nothing more than "Keep up the good work!" Preferably you would read my dynasty, but there are a lot of good ones on here if you think the Pale Hose sucks. Many who post at the OOTP forum are missin' a great game here, and they don't even know it. Thanks and I look forward to another list next year.

I thought this deserved a bump, considering we're coming to the end of another year. Hopefully Mr. Top 75 will be back to tackle another year of dynasties!
