Fans Can’t Save ‘Horns From Buckeye Stomping
September 12th, 2006 by Michael StephensThe defending national champion Texas Longhorns were dealt a payback blow by top-ranked, visiting Ohio State Saturday night. But don’t blame UT’s loss on lack of effort from the rabid fans of Austin.
Actor and proud alumnus Matthew McConaughey was on hand (along with BFF Jake Gyllenhaal and fellow alum Lance Armstrong) to cheer the ‘Horns on. While we find MM a tad annoying at times, he clearly had his game face (and wristband) on Saturday. See below.
Unfortunately for those in orange, Vince Young is no longer lining up under center. Colt McCoy is. And while you could not possibly dream up a better (read: cornier) name for a kid quarterbacking Texas, he’s a system QB who needs developing. As predicted by the Sports Truth’s resident Pundit, Ohio State proved the better team, heading home to Columbus with a 24-7 win and its #1 ranking secure.
Hopefully, for his sake, McConaughey doesn’t own one of those dumb window flags.
