Matthew McConaughey is one proud Texas football fan. The actor and University of Texas alum reacted to the football team securing a spot in the SEC Championship.

“Rivalry rekindled in the Aggies den. @TexasLonghorns show out in the showdown and get the win @SEC championship here we come year one #hookem,” McConaughey wrote on X of the season's win.

The University of Texas closed out its regular season with a 17-7 rivalry win over Texas A&M on Saturday, Nov. 30. With this win, the Texas Longhorns have officially earned a spot in the 2024 SEC Football Championship game. They will play the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday, Dec. 7, in Atlanta at 4 p.m. ET.

Despite not playing football during his time at the University of Texas, McConaughey has shown a great wave of support to the growing franchise. In an Instagram post reposted by the football team, the Oscar-winning actor showed how real fans get down. He pulled up to a game back in October wearing a cowboy hat, white button-up, and blue denim jeans. The “Dallas Buyers Club” actor congratulated Texas football's big win against the Oklahoma Sooners.
