Matthew McConaughey issues statement on Texas fans throwing trash on field: ‘Bogey move’

Alright, alright, alright, that’s enough.

Texas graduate, celebrity, superfan and “Minister of Culture” Matthew McConaughey released a statement on Monday regarding the incident during Texas-Georgia Saturday night. Following a controversial call that initially went against Texas but was later reversed, Longhorns fans started throwing trash and debris onto the field.

“But let’s get real about the bottle bombing the field glitch we had,” he said. “Not cool. Bogey move.”

Below is his full statement.

The game was briefly delayed and the SEC fined Texas $250,000 for the incident,, which is salt in the 30-15 wound left by the Georgia Bulldogs. Texas is also being required to investigate and identify which individuals threw debris onto the field.

University of Texas president Jay Hartzell also sent a letter to students regarding the incident, as the trash thrown on the field came from the student section.

“Late in the third quarter, a sizable number of our students endangered others and embarrassed Longhorn Nation by throwing bottles and trash onto the field,” he wrote. “This was only our third conference game as a new member of the SEC, so our fellow SEC institutions are just getting to know us. These actions made a bad early impression on Georgia and our new conference colleagues, and harmed your University’s reputation before a national audience.”

Texas’ next home game isn’t until November 9, when the Longhorns face Florida.
