College football is underway, and we’ve got a few great games this upcoming weekend.

There might be no better way to prepare for Alabama vs. FSU, Michigan vs. Florida, Ohio State vs. Indiana and Wisconsin vs. Utah state than with Matthew McConaughey’s legendary speeches to the Texas football team.

It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of McConaughey. He’s the definition of a guy’s guy. The man is as authentic as they come, he loves beer and he loves America. That’s alright in my book, and there are few better ways to pump up a college football team.

Who else is ready to run through a wall right now?

I have no idea if the “True Detective” star would be a great coach when it comes to Xs and Os, but I have zero doubt he could be a legendary motivator.

These speeches just might have to be on repeat before every Wisconsin Badgers game I watch this year. He’s just a man who brings electricity at all hours.
