Last week, University of Texas coach Charlie Strong invited famous alum Matthew McConaughey to drop some knowledge on his Longhorn football team. After delivering a stirring speech about "giving it your all," McConaughey—who played a college football coach in We Are Marshall—opened the floor to questions. After admitting that Mud is his favorite piece of work, the Wolf of Wall Street actor revealed the story behind his famous chest thump scene

Almost certainly as a result of this inspiring speech, Texas defeated Kansas on the road 23-0 on Saturday. With the No. 7 Baylor Bears next on the team's schedule, Strong would be wise to give McConaughey the floor before kickoff.
