2005 Awards and Rankings: Top Posts of the Year

Sixth-place post of the year

Two years ago, JoninAZ, then known as JoninLA, was the reigning post of the year champ with a post about the announcement of the Bohemian Foundation gift to renovate/expand Hughes Stadium. He wrote it to the tune of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", and it no doubt had RamNation readers rolling. Jon clearly had a gift for writing and has always been a fan favorite. So, when only one of his posts managed to crack the top four last year (it finished third), it was a bit of a disappointing showing for the powerhouse poster. He apparently didn't want to let that happen again. Following is the first of three JoninAZ posts that landed in the top six best posts of the year. It was a clever message in response to a Buff fan's post prior to CU's 2004 bowl game, asking CSU fans to support CU by donating money for tickets.
