Was it surprising that Georgia beat Texas football at home?
No. Georgia’s the program to beat in college football at the moment.
Was it surprising how loud Sanford Stadium was?
Absolutely. At least for Texas minister of culture Matthew McConaughey.
“This crowd was loud from the beginning,” McConaughey said, according to Dawg Nation. “Especially that first half and then the second half when they started to boat row (us). They were still really loud, but they were one of the higher decibels that I’ve heard.”
“You can have 30,000 more people but if the rituals and the cheers aren’t in unison, it doesn’t… It’s not as intimidating.” McConaughey continued. “And yeah, they were happy I was there, but they were also giving me straight horns down and going we’re gonna whip your you know tonight, you know, so it was a good.”
