Matthew McConaughey’s Lincoln Commercials Are Really About UT Pride

Lincoln’s latest spots featuring Matthew McConaughey have gotten quite a lot of attention, especially in the Longhorn community.

It all started with this spot…set in Austin. with quotes like this:

Why Cedar Fever Sucks Almost As Much As OU

It comes around every January to Austin, Texas. If you’re brand new here, you probably don’t know what it is. It usually take 2-3 years before you catch it…and it ain’t fun.

Below is a pic that looks like smoke, but it’s actually Cedar pollen flyin’ through the air in the Green Belt.

Your eyes will tear up so bad in the middle of the day…people will think you were this kid from OU.

It’s so bad, people will think you were high…

And yes, it’ll make you feel as if someone just punched you in the face…

And, just kept on punching you all. day. long.

To the point where you won’t even remember your own name…

But, don’t worry. Because it’ll be over soon and you’ll remember one thing.

OU STILL SUCKS!

Austin was ranked 93rd, which in this case means that it is the seventh most-drunk city in America.
