Seriously?

It’s like you guys take joy in being labeled one or the other & don’t feel pathetic doing so.

One can share optimism & not be a koolaider while one can share criticism & not be a darksider.

I know it can be tough at times, but just remember, it’s football at the end of the day. It’s all it is.

Hopefully the year can end on a positive note. Have a happy holidays!

I get what your saying but opinions about coaches & players vary on this board so that part is what it is. I consider myself an "in betweener" if you will of both sides but I will be critical whenever I think it's warranted. I'll side with the kool aid bunch at times & other times with the dark side, but at the end of the day we all want our Cardinals to win. Play the way we think they're capable of considering the talent on the team. Totally unacceptable what happened sunday, we're better than that & everyone is pissed as they should be.

It developed years ago and it keeps both sides bickering. Doesn't bother me much, I switch sides from one game to the next. I could do without the 'I was right, you were wrong' stuff. Some of us have been here for 20years.... All the time whining about the Oline!
Some here will belly up and eat crow, others do what they do to avoid doing so when they should.

All in good fun for the most part. Folks get crossways once in a while. I just come along for the ride.

Jump in. The water's fine.

Been like this since Kliff got hired & Kyler got drafted.
Lol started way before that

And to the OP it's actually harmless bantering that gets heated at times but since we're all adults and not 11 year old girls it's all in good fun and at the end of the day we all share a love for the Cards and all want the same thing just with different opinions on how to get there, what a boring site this would be if we all agreed all the time lol

I don't know, there may be a few 11 year old girls on here.

I don’t remember it being such role-specific during the BA/CP years, but anything before that I wasn’t on here so I can’t agree or disagree, lol.

It goes back to at least 2002 when I joined. The Dave McGinnis years provided plenty of fodder for the darksiders, and they took full advantage. I think that's when they really found their voice.. haha.

For the record, I don't believe I'm a "Koolaider". I am hopeful though.

I think in 2002 Skkorp pretty much dubbed me and cheese darkside royalty.

Well if that wasn’t going to drive you to the darkside I think you’d be considered immune.

Also, I’ll have a wet Portillo’s Italian beef and a Tito’s rocks.
