Matthew McConaughey calls out his own Texas fans for throwing bottles in Georgia loss: ‘Clean that BS up’

Noted Texas Longhorns supporter Matthew McConaughey has criticized the football team’s fans for throwing bottles on the field after disagreeing with an on-field call against Georgia this past weekend.

The home crowd was left indignant in Austin when an interception by the then top-ranked Longhorns against now No. 2 Georgia was initially wiped out by a pass-interference penalty.

In protest, Longhorns fans threw hundreds of bottles onto the field to register their displeasure before head coach Steve Sarkisian could walk up to them and urge them to stop.

But incredibly, their astonishing protests seemed to be successful when the decision was eventually reversed.

“Longhorn nation and specifically our student section (Darrell K Royal Texas Memorial Stadium), MOC McConaughey is coming to you. First of all, you were electric on Saturday night when we hosted Georgia. Bravo,” his statement on social media began.

Fans threw bottles on the field after disagreeing with a call that the officials eventually overturned

‘Let’s keep bringing it. Even though our Horns didn’t make the W, you created a measurable home field advantage. But let’s be honest about the bottle bombing field error we had. Not cool. Bogey move.”

“Yes, that call was BS, but we are better than that. Longhorn Nation knows better than anyone how to show up, how to show off and still maintain our class. So in the future, let’s clean up that BS and put it behind us for good. We have to shake hands with that.’

‘Next, let’s make sure the Gators come to town on November 9, let’s make sure they feel the heat, can’t hear the play calls and burn their timeouts – but remember, nothing touches OUR field except that fight in Texas. Until then, root hard and hook ’em in. McConaughey. ”

Georgia-Texas had the largest television audience of any college football game last weekend, with 12.9 million viewers.

Texas fans littered the north side of their field with bottles and other trash when the pass interference penalty appeared to nullify Jahdae Barron’s 36-yard interception return to the Georgia 9 late in the third quarter.

Sarkisian, who was initially furious with the officials for the call, then walked to the far corner of the field and signaled the student section to settle down and stop throwing.

While the debris was being collected, the officials discussed the play and picked up the flag for Barron’s contact with Georgia’s Arian Smith before the pickup.

Two plays later, Quinn Ewers threw a 17-yard touchdown to Jaydon Blue to put the Longhorns up 23-15 after trailing 23-0 at halftime.

However, Georgia added another seven points in what turned out to be a convincing 30-15 road victory in Texas.
