Chiefs First time ever. I left.

tooge · 09-15-2008, 07:44 AM

Just ventin here, like everyone else. For the first time in 20 years of being a season ticket holder, I left at halftime. The coaching was so embarrasing that I asked the wife if she cared if we left. Home we went. I was really excited to watch a young team be coached well, and now I have no hope of that. So, I was sitting there asking my wife, " what the hell did I used to do on sundays before 1989?" I came to the conclusion that I am going to be doing alot more hunting, fishing, and work around the place on sundays. I am not going out there again until there is a substantial increase in the level of coaching and play. I am not thinking that will be this year either. Anyhow, since I already bought the tix, I may go out for a few tailgates then just go home and watch or do something else. sorry, just had to vent

He makes a good point. If Raider week was a waste of time, what does the rest of the season offer?
I mean, we know we'll watch, we'll cheer, we'll get our hopes up and our emotions down until January, but there is something wrong here that goes beyond youth and inexperience.

You left at halftime and I still bitched you out. heh

I stay until the final tick of the clock no matter what. Only games I have ever left early are the preseason games.

Sad days, Mr. tooge.

On the other hand, as you say, your Sundays will prove more productive and, likely, more interesting than they've been in a long while. You know, most people greet Monday morning as the same person they were when they bid farewell to Friday afternoon having made no advance either physically, intellectually, emotionally, or spiritually. You now have an opportunity to change that for yourself which means you could be President or own a chain of liquor stores someday. Congratulations.

I made the trip from Omaha, and for the first time found myself having an urge to leave...I only make the trip once a year, but this was friggin' bad.

...instead of leaving, I went down and got better seats, since all the people who payed a lot more than me already left...I was in the endzone when TG scored...so there's that...

It was like watching a bad car wreck, We couldnt turn it off...

Well if you aren't going to use your tickets you could make a helluva statement by putting them in an envelope and addressing it to Clark Hunt and sending it registered mail with a nice little letter about 20 years of financial support etc.

You may not get a reply but I don't care how rich a business owner is,return of his already paid for product with wanting no refund will hit home.

cmh6476 · 09-15-2008, 08:08 AM

this might be a good year to take my 3 yr old, so if anyone wants to donate some of those unused tickets for the cause, PM me

I'm calling Social Services. There's no excuse for exposing your children to this.

I would send that with signature verification as well. Do whatever it takes to ensure that Clark is the first person to read that letter.

It was a weird day. Usually I turn the shit games off and do something else, but I kept this one on until the final bell and I didn't feel an iota of emotion about it. Still don't.

BAND WAGONEERS

Whatever happened to true fans of the Chiefs...

Things have been a hell of a lot worse..

ok with that out of the way...

Hunt needs to clean house. I, for one, hope that the Chiefs keep losing. I hope we lose every game. The 2008 Chiefs are an embarrassment to every previous Chiefs team. If they really want to clean house and rebuild, what better way to send a statement to the owner that something needs to be done NOW.

I dont think Hunt has the balls to remove Peterson this year. Peterson will be here for a long time, hes a legacy of brokenness that just shows how much of a loser the team really is.

When will the Chiefs begin a rebuild? When Hunt has the nerve to remove Peterson, fire Herm Edwards, and actually draft a QB in the first round, rather than pull wide receivers from other teams practice squads and expect them to play against a team that has coach turmoils.
