The match itself was marred by Texas fans launching bottles onto the field to protest a decision by the referee.
It prompted the team’s most famous fan, Matthew McConaughey, to denounce the “BS” behavior of supporters in a fiery statement Monday evening.

Mayer wasn’t the only fan who enjoyed 15 minutes of fame on a big night for college football.
Grant Walther also went viral on social media when cameras zoomed in on him looking disappointed towards the end of the match – with fans joking that he looked like Conway Twitty’s grandson.
Walther told DailyMail.Com exclusively that he wanted to turn his newfound fame into an opportunity to raise money for charity.

The Longhorns, 6-1 for the season, are on the road next Saturday but return to their home fans the following week when they host the Florida Gators.
