Matthew McConaughey, Kevin Durant, politicians among those at DKR for Texas vs Ohio State
The stars weren’t out in the night sky just yet Saturday at Darrell K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium, but there were some sightings on the sidelines.
In one of the biggest Texas football games of the season against Ohio State, celebrities, politicians and Texas Exes came to Austin and were spotted throughout the sidelines. Earlier in the day, ESPN “College GameDay” featured Sen. Ted Cruz, who was booed by the Longhorn faithful and Austin native; movie star Glen Powell as the guest picker on the show.
Of course, other Austin celebrities were out and about – what is a night game at DKR without Longhorn superfan Matthew McConaughey. He also brought out his friend and “True Detective” co-star Woody Harrelson who was seen chatting with athletic director Chris Del Conte. Gov. Greg Abbott was there, too.
Then there were the sports legends of the school in attendance. Former men’s basketball player and current Houston Rocket Kevin Durant was seen throwing crisp spirals and chatting with former football head coach Mack Brown. Former running back Ricky Williams and quarterback Colt McCoy were also spotted as well as former Texas volleyball player Madisen Skinner.
Here is a list of some of the celebrities spotted at the game.

If you could bottle the energy in a conversation between Woody and CDC, you could power the entire Texas power grid for a week. pic.twitter.com/u0NEGBUAuI
