Oh, Texas fans absolutely love it. Not just tolerate it—love it.
Matthew McConaughey isn’t just some celebrity fan who shows up for attention.
He’s as die-hard a Longhorn as they come. He’s been on the sidelines for years, not just when Texas is winning, but during the tough times too. He’s not a front-runner—he’s invested. And let’s be real: the man is cool. If you could pick one Hollywood star to be the face of your program, it would be him.
Does it look a little over the top sometimes? Sure. Is it a little ridiculous when he shakes hands with the opposing team as if he played? Maybe. But Texas fans wouldn’t have it any other way. He brings energy, passion, and—let’s be honest—recruits love it. A 17-year-old kid getting fired up by McConaughey in the locker room? That’s a memory that sticks.
Some fans might roll their eyes at the theatrics, but deep down, they wouldn’t trade it for anything. College football is about passion and pageantry, and McConaughey embodies that for Texas. If you think Texas fans hate it, you haven’t been around them enough. They eat it up. Every. Single.
Game.
