Matthew McConaughey is such a big deal in his hometown that they invite him to commentate on American college football games. He lives in Austin, home of the Texas Longhorns, a university team who play in a stadium with capacity for 100,000 spectators. Once in a while, they bring him in to coach the players. When McConaughey spoke to the team in 2014, he drawled encouragement and sporting platitudes. But now that he is mulling a run for Governor of Texas, it sounds like the beginnings of a stump speech.
