I never imagined I'd be back here with another ****SAVE OUR CHIEFS*** thread...
but here we are. This is a long post and there is no getting around that.
Most of you probably know about SOC but it's been 12 years and 3 Super Bowls since then and there has probably been an influx of new users/fans that don't have any idea so I'm gonna briefly recap what happened just so they can keep up with the rest of this post. 12 years ago the people on this forum were the central supporters of one of the most effective fan rebellions against their team, ever. CP trolled on Social Media, trolled on Craigslist, made videos, came together and flew banners, and organized "Blackout Arrowhead" which was so visually impactful that Marv Albert and Rich Gannon mentioned us on air during a game. It was a glorious time in CP history where we literally turned chicken shit into chicken salad. Why am I back here talking about this? Well, some wild stuff happened, other things may be happening, and something for sure is happening. I'll elaborate. Wild Stuff Happened: MartyMac (SOC & part time CP'er) sent me a message a few months ago to let me know that someone, who very much wanted to remain anonymous (Marty is the only guy who knows who the person is and he isn't telling), wanted to express gratitude for what we did in 2012 with SOC. He asked for ring sizes. A few months later... this shows up. One for each of us. ![]() ![]() It is mind blowing to think that the effort put forth by this community into a plan I brought to you played a part in a butterfly effect of events where our team has now won 3 Super Bowls, has become a dynasty, and we literally have the best QB in football history. I wanted to reach out and thank everyone here who donated money/time/voice in support of SOC. Without you none of this happens. I honestly and truthfully believe that if we don't revolt... nothing changes and Pioli would have returned in 2013. WE (CP/SOC) did that. Wild Stuff *MAY* Be Happening: I don't have many details yet but there is, apparently, interest in a 30 for 30 style documentary based on the events of the 2012 fan revolt in KC with Bob Fescoe attached. All of this is in it's earliest of stages and no clue if it will actually happen or not but if it does happen... CP will likely play a prominent role in the whole thing. Some may be asked to participate via interviews if they wish to. What is *ACUTALLY* Happening: An impromptu CP/SOC get together. This Saturday at Chapelle's at 7PM. The back room is reserved. MartyMac wants to do a "ring presentation" for the fellas involved in SOC but more than anything... we just want to hang out for a while. We never really got to do that as a group since, at the time, we were spread all over the US. Since CP was the cradle of SOC we figured we would extend the invitation to those of you who might be interested in meeting/hanging out/celebrating the success of the Chiefs since Pioli was fired. To be clear... your tab is your own. LOL |

My wife didn't understand why every time Pioli is on television I would say "f that guy"... She finally asked me why I hated him so much and I graciously explained the history. Now she knows how much of a douche two faced mf'er he is. (Cut her some slack, she isn't from KC and didn't know the "dark years")

I remember thinking his shoulder was washed and that we got the better Peyton when we signed Hillis. Turns out he had a few more years in that shoulder and the great white hope wasn't so great.

This is awesome. I was primarily a lurker in those days but it was a great thread/movement that took on its own life.
IMO SOC was the turning point in making the Chiefs return to a respected franchise. Congratulations. |

![]() I'll be there is spirit and hoping to see a documentary come into fruition. It's certainly deserving and one that would integrate the fans and team into the story equally which is rare. Well done, gentlemen. |

Remember it well. A couple of my buddies were quite taken aback and saying things like, "Those guys just don't give a damn"....I had to fill them in that it was BACAUSE we gave a damn that it was happening.

That's awesome, man! Well deserved. That SOC game was pretty amazing. Still have my sweatshirt. Sat with our long lost Planeteer, Phobia for that one. Somewhere there is a big picture of a ton of Planeteers all out in the parking lot. Wild to remember it now.
