Depending on how immature you are willing to be can really summarize the best way to annoy rival football fans. Myself, I can be very immature, hence my annoyance really knows no bounds. Let me share a couple of things that my friends and I have done to get under the (pig) skin of our rivals.

One of the simplest but best ways to annoy rival fans is to visit their message boards. I know you are thinking 'well, I have done that...big deal.' Here's the thing: for every message you post you will get 5-10 responses. Basically you are getting on average 7.5 to 1 on your post. Make sure you go after their superstars or retired greats. It's the internet and it's all fair game.

Okay, the next couple of things is really meant for 'friendly' rivalries between friends. Friends NOT strangers as some of these could land you in jail and the chances of the guards letting you watch the big game are almost nil.

First, paintball their house. I am not kidding just make sure you use washable paint that comes off as soon as it is sprayed with water. Back in school, living in St. Louis, I was a big Mizzou Tiger fan but I had one friend who was a die hard Fighting Illini fan. It was war. One night before their big match-up a couple of friends and myself un-loaded at least 300 paintballs (black and gold ones which are the Tigers colors) on his poor house. We thought it was hilarious, him, not-so-much but so is the life for Illini fans.

Second, buy your teams license plate cover and stick it on the back of their vehicle. Most of the time they can be simply screwed on in no time but if you are feeling really devious use super glue and apply. The best thing about this is it can go undetected for days or weeks before he/she notices. You will get an unexpected call out of the blue from said friend recounting how they came across it. The whole time they have been promoting YOUR team and had no idea.

Finally, if a group of you is together watching a rivalry game make sure you rub everything in every chance you get. Cheer every first down, laugh at any mistake the other team makes, fist pump every catch and complain bitterly about every call against your team no matter how obviously right it was.

Well, there you have it...Great ways to really annoy others who disagree with you just remember that anything you do is bound to come on you so be prepared. Paydirt!
