Matthew McConaughey, a diehard Longhorns fan, is a regular at all Texas football games, where he’s frequently recorded by cameras. On Friday, he sat on the Texas sidelines in a leather jacket and cowboy hat during Friday’s devastating 28-14 Cotton Bowl loss to Ohio State of the US.
As soon as Texas lost, Matthew McConaughey was under attack by fans. They continually roasted Texas after an abysmal second half, and fourth quarter. However, his appearance gained much attention, for better or for worse.
Fans started discussing and expressing concern over Matthew McConaughey’s whereabouts and emotional state. Many fans humorously or genuinely suggested checking on him, implying that the outcome of the game might have left him disappointed or affected — arising out of his reaction to the game’s events.
‘Can someone let him know that he’s not on the team,’ one fan wrote.

It was a season to be proud of. Until forever.’
