Matthew McConaughey’s pregame photo with Kirk Herbstreit’s dog, Peter, has sparked a wave of enthusiasm among the fans. The image, from a pregame event called College GameDay, shows McConaughey's playful side as he is captured “sandwiching” Peter with the ESPN commentator.
Kirk Herbstreit took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a series of photos from the game show. The caption read, “Pregame with Peter and friends.” In one of the viral images, McConaughey is seen speaking something to Herbstreit with Peter between them.
Fans were quick to react to the light-hearted moment. They were in awe of Peter and showered their love. One of the fans wrote, “Keep ‘em coming! Becoming the best part of games LOL.” Another fan commented, “Peter sandwich - all right all right all right.” Someone else wrote, “Peter is so cute and precious!😊❤️🐶.”
The event took place between the No. 3 Texas Longhorns and the No. 20 Texas A&M Aggies at Kyle Field in College Station. Kirk Herbstreit hosted the game show at the venue, while Matthew McConaughey, an ardent fan of the Longhorns, supported the team.
