St. Louis Fans Catch Super Bowl Fever
BILL HEMMER, CNN ANCHOR: The home town of the St. Louis Rams experiencing a whole lot of Super Bowl fever on the eve of tomorrow's showdown with Tennessee. Let's go live to St. Louis and CNN's Jeff Flock chatting with Rams fans there at a restaurant called Uncle Bill's Pancakes. I like the name anyway. Jeff, hello to you.</s>JEFF FLOCK, CNN CORRESPONDENT: That's true. I don't if you're an uncle, Bill, but if you are, there's a place for you here in St. Louis. You talk about the fever, definitely a fever in place despite the fact that it is very cold and nasty outside. You know, Atlanta does not have the market cornered on bad weather. We've got a picture of what it looks like outside Uncle Bill's, and it is nasty, snowy and cold. And inside definitely the spirit is burning. I'm looking at a young lady's fingernails at the moment, which are paint with what?</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Go Rams.</s>FLOCK: You know, I have to ask you. Why -- you know, we see some people with tremendous spirit. Why -- how do you account for this spirit that you seem to have for this team?</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It's time, St. Louis's time. We're going to win. You have never had a winner here before in terms of football?</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No,.</s>FLOCK: OK, well we hope that the fingernails do something for it. Good luck, and please don't harm anyone with those nails. Some more fans over here, and everyone is wearing t-shirts or something it seems. What does your say, sir?</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Got to go to work.</s>FLOCK: Tell me what does that mean?</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It means that whenever the Rams were in practice, the assistant coach would tell them they got to go to work to begin practice.</s>FLOCK: And so they put it on a shirt, and that's their big line.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yes. When the Rams go to the Super Bowl, they got to go to work.</s>FLOCK: I hear you. You know, you're talking about these t- shirts, we've got a picture of what are -- will be the first Super Bowl shirts. We have some pictures of a t-shirt shop in town that is in the business of now developing the artwork for what will be a Super Bowl victory t-shirt, they say, and all they need is to full in the score. So I must ask this young lady here, who also has a lovely shirt on, can you tell me what you think the score will be?</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The score will be 7-47. The Rams have 47, of course.</s>FLOCK: All right, I appreciate that very much. Perhaps one more table of folks about the business of having breakfast behind the St. Louis Rams poster up there. And I take it that that's no secret -- or no accident. Rams fans here?</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes, very much so.</s>FLOCK: And what would message would you like to send your team?</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Good luck, we hope you guys winning.</s>FLOCK: There you go. Good luck and they hope they win here in St. Louis. It would be, of course, the first Super Bowl championship for St. Louis in football. So there you go. That's latest from here, Bill, back to you.</s>HEMMER: All right, Jeff. thank you. Jeff Flock live there in St. Louis.
