JEFF: WE HAVE ONE WAITING FOR
THIS DAY FOR A WHILE.
TONIGHT AN OLD RIVALRY WILL BE
RENEWED WHEN THE L.A. RAMS TAKE
ON THE SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS.
PAT: WE HAVE COVERAGE ON THE BIG
GAME WITH JIM HILL WHO IS
TRAVELING WITH THE TEAM.
IN FACT JIM ITS SO EXCITED WE
CAN'T GET HIM RIGHT NOW, BUT
WE'LL -- OKAY, HE IS HERE NOW.
HEY THERE, JIM.
WE'RE EXCITED, TOO.
JIM JIM THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
BEING UP HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO
IN THE BAY AREA, THE WIND IS
BLOWING, TEMPERATURES COOL, BUT
THE ACTION ON THE FIELD IS HOT.
THAT IS FOR SURE.
AS THE REGULAR SEASON OPENS UP
THIS EVENING BETWEEN THE RAMS
AND SAN FRANCISCO 49ers, AND
HASN'T IT BEEN A VERY LONG QUICK
EIGHT MONTHS AS FAR AS THE RAMS
ARE CONCERNED?
IN JANUARY IT WAS ANNOUNCED THEY
WERE MOVING FROM LOS ST. LOUIS TO
LOS ANGELES.
HARD TO IMAGINE WHAT WE
STARTED DOING BACK IN MARCH AND
THEN THE BREAK AND THEN BACK
HERE AND MOVE IN.
HERE IT GOES.
LIKE YOU SAID, THE REST OF THE
LEAGUE DOESN'T CARE WHAT WE WENT
THROUGH.
SO, WE'LL GOOD SHOW THEM IT WAS
WORTH IT.
WE FEEL LIKE WE'RE READY TO
GO, AND JUST KEEP ON STUDYING
AND THIS IS THE DAY WE HAVE BEEN
WAITING FOR.
A LONG TIME WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
DO THIS.
JIM: SO FAR THE RAM FANS BACK
HOME, THE PLAYERS ON THE FIELD
RIGHT NOW, THE CAME GILL WIN IN
AN HOUR AND A HALF, AND OF
COURSE, WE'LL HAVE ANOTHER LIVE
REPORT FROM THE BAY AREA IN OUR
6:00 SHOW AND THEN HIGHLIGHTS
AND POST GAME INTERVIEWS AT
11:00.
PAT AND JEFF?
IT'S ABOUT TO GO DOWN.
PAT: LOVE THE WAY YOU SAID THAT,
JIM.
CERTAINLY IS.
AND TOM WAIT IS ALSO LIVE WE
L.A. RAMS FANS WHO WAITED TWO
DECADES FOR THEIR TEAM.
TOM JUST SAID IT'S ABOUT TO GO
DOWN.
REPORTER: HE TOTALLY SUMMED IT
UP AND THAT WHAT PEOPLE ARE
SAYING OUT HERE.
WE'RE FINDING RAM FANS INVADED
THIS PLACE.
THEY'RE HEAR HERE AND READY TO
ROCK AND ROLL LIKE IT'S 1994.
THEY'RE SO FIRED UP.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO WE
SHOT A SHORT TIME AGO.
ALL OF THESE FANS STANDING ON
THE PARKING LOT JUST OUTSIDE OF
THE STADIUM HERE IN SANTA CLARA.
THEY'RE SO EXCITED.
YOU CAN HEAR HOW FIRED UP THIS
RIVALRY IS.
LISTEN TO SOME OF THE FANS.
JUST LIKE DODGERS, YOU KNOW,
GIANTS, IT'S GOING TO BE THE
SAME, RAMS AGAINST THE 49ers.
IT'S GOING TO BE CRAZY.
WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE GETTING
OURSELVES INTO, DEFINITELY.
BUT WE'RE NOT SCARED.
WE'RE NOT SCARED.
REPORTER: NOBODY IS SCARED.
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS, THIS IS
VIDEO FROM FREE AIRPORT IN BUR
BURBANK.
FANS DID NOT WANT TO BE ON
CAMERA BECAUSE THEY WERE PLAYING
HOOKIE FROM WORK TO GET IN ON
THE FIRST GAME.
MONDAY NIGHT, NINERS, RAMS, THEY
WANTED TO BE.
LISTEN TO WHAT ONE FAN SAID.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GOING.
GOING TO BE MAYHEM.
A LOT OF SCREAMING.
WHENEVER YOU GO TO A NINERS GAME
AND WE WEAR A RAMS SHIRT, THEY
GOOD -- AH-AH-AH.
REPORTER: TAILGATING WOULD NOT
BE COMPLETE WITHOUT BARBECUE AND
GREAT FOOD.
ONE OF THE CHOICE DISHES BEING
SERVED BY NINER FANS ARE RAM
CHOPS.
COME ON, WE GOT TO COME UP WITH
SOMETHING, RIGHT?
BOO.
I AGREE.
WE'LL HAVE TO COME UP WITH A
BETTER DISH.
BACK TO YOU IN L.A.
PAT: I DON'T KNOW.
