Fans pumped for prime-time game

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (WIVB) - Buffalo Bills fans are pumped for Thursday’s prime-time game. Fans have waited four years to see the Ralph hit the national spotlight again.

One fan said, “Can't sleep the night before, excited, ready to go.”

Bills fan Jon Neubauer said, “It makes it a bigger game, a bigger stage, more exciting.,”

In August, friends Dylan Smallman and Frankie Fernandez set out on a mission. They purchased an RV and decked it out in Buffalo Bills gear.

Fernandez said, “I saw it on Craiglist, so we bought for $1,000 and put $1,200 into it, so we're at $2,200 and this is what we go to every game.”

There is no denying they are die-hard Bills fans. Fernandez said, “We love our Bills and this is what we live for.”

Even "the Commissioner of Tailgating" Joe Cahn showed up for Thursday’s game, one of 870 he has been to.

Cahn said, “I am a Bills fan. I only, no matter where I am in this great country of ours, I wear my Buffalo Bills jersey.”

The game is not without controversy, but it has nothing to with football. Rather, Miami Dolphins Running Back Reggie Bush’s comments about the weather and Buffalo women while on a radio show in Florida.

Comments made on show:

The host said, “That’s good football weather. Women will be out there topless in that weather.”

“You don’t want to see that,” said the another radio personality.

“No, God no,” said the host.

Bush weighed in, saying, “Not Buffalo women."

The comments caused a stir on and off the Internet. One Bills fan said, “He can keep his Kardashian girls, I'll take the Buffalo women.”

The Erie County Sheriff’s deputies will be patrolling, making sure individuals aren’t seeking out the national spotlight.

Erie County Sheriff Tim Howard said, “This being a nationally televised game, there will be some people who come there just to create a disturbance or act inappropriately.”

One fan said, “The Ralph’s going to be rocking tonight.”

Another fan said, “I'll be a Bills fan for life.”
