In my experience the best way to diffuse this kind of person is to disarm them

with kindness. I say something nice about their team or one of the players on it. Almost always it catches them completely off guard and their whole tone changes. Often we end up having a pleasant one or two minute conversation and end on a good note.

Don't bother. Don't acknowledge them in any way or even look at them.

Not worth it. Just ignore and move on. They are Yewts, that is punishment

IMO the best reaction is to give a slight snicker like they're the biggest idiot

Exactly. Just shake your head and laugh. Nothing more needs to be done

Nah

Backcountry

That's what you say to OSU fans

Crop dust him as he walks past you

Call him a fetcher then drive off in your mini van.

Except then your setting yourself up for the inevitable response

mpfunk

You're. Sounds like that Ute degree will do wonders.

Uhhh they aren't usually that bright, even if true.

Im somewhat baffled as to how saying "go Utes" or putting up a "U" with fingers

I'm pretty sure the stupid "double loser" sign is considered an obscene gesture.

Otherwise, I agree with you.

It's just redneck and white trash. No reason to be annoying to strangers.

For your average Ute fan, yes

No it's not, thats quite a bit over the top.
