Dread Pirate Westley Intervention Needed

Compliment their team - mention what they did well and say it was a good game.

If you were at the game and interacted with ASU fans, mention something positive about that. Say something you liked about their QB, RB, LB, or whatever and that you think he's a really good player. Then wish them luck for the rest of the season.

It's not that hard.

For some of you guys, the BYU Fan reputation is well-earned.

What reputation is that?
