It's been a long while since we've had a haul of threads added to the Hall of Classics. So, we figured it's about that time again.
In the interest of not over-looking any worthy threads, I thought it would be a good idea to have you guys submit the threads that y'all think are deserving.
IMO, there are a number of reasons a thread could be deserving...such as comedy threads, threads where it turned on the OP in an amazing way, memorial threads, revenge threads.
Post your nominations below, with a link. After the nominations are gathered, we'll see where to go from there. I want to get an idea of just how many nominations we're going to have, before we decide what path to take with it.
Won't sniff the playoffs has attained legendary status. A cautionary tale against being a knee-jerk reactionary bleeding vagina.
The mere fact that KC locked up a home playoff game in week 14 would have been enough, but then they proceed to go on an unprecedented playoff run in which no team has ever come from behind double digits 3 straight postseason games, and then Mahomes goes on to set a TD pass record for single postseason, despite playing one less possible game, and win the Superbowl.
This thread got the equivalent of being shaved, sterilized, and destroyed. It should be page 1 thread 1 sticky, the headliner of the HoC from now until the endtimes. The gold standard has been set. A higher bar, we may never see again. [Reply]
Also, I like the Super Bowl thread nominations. I've seen the game day thread, the 10 things about the game thread, and the Return of the Trophy thread. All cool, but, IMO, we shouldn't take every thread about the Super Bowl into the HOC.
I know it's still active, but it was started by KcMizzou, a longtime excellent member of this board, who simply got fed up, said he was done in a post (not a thread) and never came back. So, I guess it's a memorial type of recognition. [Reply]
I want to nominate ALL of the “Let’s talk about our opponents” threads leading up to the playoff matches. We gotta hang that pre-game trash talk into Chiefsplanet history.
Gotta admire him, he even came storming back this season after Mahomes injury. He had a take, and went down swinging with it.
Edit: I think this thread from Pugs has to be HOC worthy.
First time in recent memory that someone on Chiefsplanet had a "friend of a friend' who turned out to be dead-on. On draft day, I was driving back from work through hail and listening to Denver's sports talk radio announce the draft. When they announced that the Chiefs just made a shocking-trade they were baffled at who the Chiefs even wanted, I knew exactly where they were going thanks to the thread below. The fact that Chiefsplanet gave me a more inside track about the Chiefs on draft day than most opposing front offices had is baffling and HOC worthy to me. Even funnier is how confused/dismissive opposing fans/commentators were of the pick. One of the Denver hosts simply did not understand the Chiefs thinking here, "Why would they want DeShaun Watson, Alex Smith can do everything he can and more, why replace a top 10 guy in Alex Smith?" Other Denver host: "Because I think Andy Reid wants his Brett Favre, the big arm'd Patrick Mahomes from Texas Tech."
But the reaction for drafting Mahomes is all for another thread.
I'd also nominate the thread where we claimed Suggs. Our old Baltimore friend La Confora predicted Suggs wouldn't report and this is where conspiracy theories ran wild from our fandom that Reid agreed to let Suggs sit out a playoff game against the Ravens: https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=327389
Also, George's Super Bowl & Parade 10 Things have been nominated, but I'd like to second them both. Those are iconic threads from an all time thread that deserve to be immortalized. George's presence is one of the best parts about this community. [Reply]
