It's funny/sad how just like so many other areas of life, entrench ourselves in opposite views even when we're all rooting for the same team.
I remember it way back in 2003.... some of the board was loudly exclaiming the defense sucked and they wouldn't do anything in the playoffs, while others were saying it was fine. And it blew up after a game against the Vikings late in the year.
I watched that game in a hotel room somewhere in Georgia on the way to watch KU get rolled by Phillip Rivers in the Tangerine Bowl.
Twenty years later, the wide receivers have created the same divide, despite the vast majority of people being in the middle somewhere.
