Dynasty. Aside from Miami Vice, no other show encapsulated the 80's better or captured your stirrup-pants wearing mother's attention more….except for Falcon Crest maybe. It had it all; Linda Evans in shoulder pads, Diahann Carroll with one of the best 'guess-who's-coming-to-dinner' roles since the film "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" and Heather Locklear at her 80's hot, huge-hair finest.
People are starting to call the Dynamo a dynasty. Unfortunately for all you Fiero-driving, 80's glory-seeking fans, Houston doesn’t have Heather Locklear & co. on the payroll. But they do have Dwayne DeRosario, Eddie Robinson and Dominc Kinnear who are the only members of the club to have all four rings from the San Jose era and the last 2 seasons. Is three people enough to call this club a dynasty? Or is it not about the personnel but the number of times won in a time period?
I'm sort of on the fence about it. On one hand they are essentially the same club and have undergone the same amount of turnover that any team would, relocated or not. On the other hand though 2 seasons passed between titles, which throws the consistency element out of the window.
Chime in on this because the topic of dynasties in sports is always a good one for bringing forth a wealth of opinions.

If it were any other league than the MLS, than I'd say, "No." However, given that this franchise (I understand that they moved cites so it only counts as 2 for each city) has now won just as many titles as the only other team that can be considered to have a dynasty (DC), it makes me lean toward, "Yes." Plus, twice in a row? I'll give it to them.
A dynasty must have a definitive superstar. MJ with the Bulls. Kobe AND Shaq with the Lakers. Brady with the Pats. Jeter with the Yanks. Even Locklear with Falcon Crest (that's what she was in, right? i'm a 80's baby)
Is De Rosario in the same mold? He's good, but like you said, the guy hasn't play top "A" class football and he's 29.
The idea of the Dynamo (team-wise) being a dynasty is a good assumption, but the actuality of it is that they lack that one killer promo-type that'll bring them national exposure. and that's what all dynastys have always had. exposure. SportsCenter covered the Dynamo for all of 2 minutes yesterday.
if that makes any sense...
Hello, i would like to read more about this interesting topic. I think that this post has very useful information.
I prefer falcom crest rather than dynasty... how nostalgic this show reminds me my childhood.
