Matthew McConaughey Lectures Texas Football Fans for Trashing Field: ‘Not Cool, Bogey Move’

"Yeah, that call was BS, but we're better than that," McConaughey wrote on X about a controversial pass interference call that initially went against the Longhorns and drew ire from fans

Matthew McConaughey has words for University of Texas football fans who trashed the field during a game over the weekend.

The Oct. 19 game between the then-top ranked Texas and No. 5 Georgia was briefly delayed after rowdy Longhorns fans threw trash onto the field at DKR-Texas Memorial Stadium in Austin, following a controversial pass interference call.

The Texas alum posted a lengthy message on X on Monday, Oct. 21 calling out those responsible for the incident.

"First off, you were electric Saturday night when we hosted Georgia. Bravo. Let's continue to bring it. Even though our Horns didn't get the W, you created a measurable home-field advantage," McConaughey’s message began.

"But let's get real about the bottle bombing the field glitch we had. Not cool. Bogey move. Yeah, that call was BS, but we're better than that. Longhorn Nation knows how to show up, show out like no other, and still keep our class,” the message continued.

McConaughey, 54, ended his open letter by pointing out that good sportsmanship is the way to go. “So, going forward, let's clean that kind of BS up and leave that behind us for good. We have to shake hands on that," the actor wrote.

On Sunday, Oct. 20, the SEC announced it had fined the university $250,000 for game interruption in violation of its sportsmanship, game management and alcohol availability policies. Additionally, the SEC said it is asking the school to identify the fans who threw trash and ban them from all Texas events for the 2024-25 athletic year.

"The throwing of debris and resulting interruption of play that took place Saturday night cannot be part of any SEC event," SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said in the news release.

After support staff and others removed the debris from the field, the referees ended up overruling the PI call in favor of Texas.

Despite a touchdown two plays later that brought the Longhorns to within 8 of the Bulldogs late in the third quarter, Georgia eventually won the game, 30-15.
