Leave It To Ft. Mill, SC Housewives

A South Carolina housewife still tumbling from the ugly pine is putting our state in the national spotlight again, and as seems to be the case every time you put “South Carolina” and “national spotlight” together in the same sentence, it isn’t good.

Julie Maloney of Ft. Mill, S.C. (the one on the bar) made the pages of Deadspin.com for her “No Pants Sunday” tradition, which essentially involves her going commando whenever the Carolina Panthers are on TV.

From Maloney’s post explaining her odd tradition:

Well I’m one of them.  A super fan with a superstition.  I’m not normally a superstitious person.  I rescued animals for years so a black cat crossing my path is commonplace.  I have no issues walking under ladders.  However, when it comes to the Carolina Panthers, I can’t watch a game with pants on.

Yep.  You read me right.  No pants.  We call it ‘No Pants Sunday’ but it applies whenever the Cardiac Cats play.  This goes back YEARS.  I first started following the Panthers in 2003, when Ryan, my husband,  put me through my 16 week training program.  We were childless then, so Sunday afternoon football was completely different.

As holds true today, we don’t answer the phones or doors when the Panthers play.  We Tivo the games so we can fast forward through commercials, so I can’t take the chance of getting a text or phone call tipping me off about the game.

We’d get beer, chips and salsa and start off the afternoon.  The more we drank, the friskier we got.  Basically, I ended up pantsless for each game (too much info, I know).  That year, we went to the Superbowl.  The night of the game I wore jeans because my friend watched the game with us.  Carolina lost.

Yeah …

We would show you some additional pics of Julie, but thankfully there aren’t any.
