If It's the Weekend, You Can Bet Our Boys, Stanley Steamer and RC, are glued to their Televison Sets!

Last night the Georgia Bulldogs and the Auburn Tigers, the oldest rivalry in the deep south, went toe to toe as it turned out. RC was basking in the win of his favorite team, the Nebraska Cornhuskers, earlier in the day. In a close final minutes, the Cornmen aka the Black Shirts beat the Maryland Terrapins, 34-31!

As night fell, RC text his union suit buddy, Steamer, that he was betting on the 10th ranked Dawgs to win. They'd surely be able to defeat unranked Auburn. But his pal believed that Auburn would win this big rivalry. And so, he bet RC a six pack of their favorite beer, Pacifico Cerveza!  RC took the bet willingly and told Steamer then that they needed to be wearing their lucky long johns and for Steamer to text when he pulled on his red union suit and he would do likewise. 

The Dawgs would have their hands full this game. Staeamer replied that he'd probably change into his long johns at bedtime and would then listen on the radio to the last half in bed until he fell asleep.

During the first half though, according to RC, he text his union suit buddy: "OMGosh!  Auburn just scored a field goal. It's now 10 to 0!"

And minutes later, RC text: "I've put on my union suit! Get yours on! The Dawgs are losing this fight!" To which, Steamer replied he would be putting on his in about an hour just before he opened his window and climbed into bed. 

So, RC watched the second half as the only one of them dressed only in long red underwear, the one with the escape hatch in the rear. By the 4th quarter both boys were in their lucky union suits. 

And by golly, wouldn't you know, Georgia  won the game. Must have been those lucky long handles!!

Steamer lives in the east where it's two hours later than where RC resides. RC was still wide awake after the game and celebrated the big wins by the Cornhuskers and then the Bulldogs by grilling some salmon, having a glass of wine, all the while supervised by his wife who took these photos of him out on their back patio. Oh, yeah, he was still wearing his lucky red union suit!

Speaking of Football and Union Suits - Updated 

On October 11th, I received this email from Trevor of Shamrock, TX:

Chris: it's a wonder Party Marty didn't loose a shoe or two when he clamored off the football field in his union suit after stealing the football right out of the hands of the kicker who was just then setting the ball on the tee. As he pushed thru the metal bars leading up into the stands where the crowd cheered him on, it's a wonder one of the security men didn't get hold of a shoe or two and yank them off his feet. Or, grab ahold of his underwear drop seat and yank off a button!  LOL. Too bad there is not a video of him at the top, continuing to attempt to get away in that bright red union suit! What balls he had!

....Trevor, Shamrock, TX

I agree Trevor, a later video would have been nearly as great as him initially careening on and off the field, taking that football right under the noses of the players and the referees!  Hopefully, he was not arrested but allowed to go back to retrieve his clothes and was able to keep his well-earned football trophy!...Chris 

October 5, 2025

Having posted recently RC and Stanley Steamer enjoying televised football while wearing their "lucky" union suits, I was reminded of a posting I featured in Union Suit Fan years ago.

It was of the ultimate fan who had stripped down to just his red union suit and raced on to the field, stealing the ball during a televised major pro football game in front of millions of fans at the stadium and watching on tv. From five years ago this week, here is....

Party Marty!

Don't you love a good wager? I do and that's why this blog has featured a number of them. Whether it was Ritchie Cunningham of the TV series “Happy Days,” or Michael of Lakewood, Colorado, football fan, Dave Doyle, or Tom and RC. You've seen their antics here on Union Suit Fan. And, what did they all had in common? The loser of the bet had to strip down to his union suit and run around in public. Well, here's one I found on YouTube that will most likely make you wish you had been there to witness this one:

“So let me set the scene for you...
Atlanta Falcons vs Cincinnati Bengals circa 1981, it’s a nationally televised game. It’s about 20 degrees out and “Party Marty” decides to accept a dare. Some tequila and several bud lights later he strips down to his red long underwear and swoops in for the NFL surprise play of the YEAR!! Astonished, the players and referees look on as Marty slides in for the steal and takes off running in his union suit.

The crowd cues in on what’s happening the stadium erupts with cheers and unadulterated support as Marty hucks it up those stairs. Classic. The more you watch the better it gets too. I’d love to find out who he is! And the cheerleader? She’s stoked. And those butt taps!? Solid gold!

My friends and family have enjoyed this little diddy for years. Now it’s time to share the love! If you know anyone who was at the game or is in this video please tag them or share! If you think Marty, stealing the game's football and running off the field in his underwear, is amazing, share! Let’s get this out there! I’d love to hear some stories! Enjoy! ….ANONYMOUS”

I guess you could say he's wearing a "union suit"...it's underwear of one piece anyway.
