Texas vs. Clemson had the vibes on lock, and Greg Abbott rolled through to rep the Longhorns, keeping that Texas pride strong. His cameo added some extra spice to an already electric atmosphere—straight-up Texas style. However, the presence of the Governor elicits a bittersweet reaction from fans who find themselves torn between game-day excitement and conflicting feelings. Nevertheless, the electrifying atmosphere remains uninterrupted, with Abbott introducing an unexpected element to the showdown. In a manner befitting the spirit of Texas, the crowd keeps it loud, blending politics and football into a uniquely Lone Star vibe. Abbott takes it all in stride.

Texas dominated Clemson with a 38-24 final score, showing up and flexing hard. Celebs like Matthew McConaughey, Camila Alves, Tim Tebow, Colt McCoy, Emmanuel Acho, and Ricky Williams were all in the building to catch the hype. But then, there’s Greg Abbott, who showed up to the rep, but the fans didn’t have it. Even with his usual Texas support, he got a cold reception. Guess the politics and football mix isn’t for everyone.

Greg Abbott’s been riding hard for Texas since the start of the season, no cap. Before the showdown against the Bulldogs, he dropped a post on Facebook, hyping up the team, saying, “Less than a year after joining the SEC, our very own Texas Longhorns will face off against the Georgia Bulldogs in the 2024 SEC Championship Game! Get out there and make Texas proud. Looking forward to a great game and showing mad love for the squad.”

Even though Texas lost that game, Abbott stayed 100% loyal, keeping the faith that they’d bounce back. And no wonder they made a remarkable comeback. Their win against the Clemson Tigers is the prime example of their success this season. Moreover, Greg Abbott also arranged a tailgate for the Texas vs. Georgia showdown at the Governor’s mansion. That’s my friend, the love Greg holds for the team, but only if he had known that this would land him in a weird position.

Greg Abbott’s celebrity status getting questioned by fans

Well, we will come to Greg Abbott’s entry in the game getting questioned. But let’s not forget Texas did make a long-lasting impression on the CFB world today. Their win against Clemson was nothing short of their remarkable hold over the game. The Longhorns finally break their offense, making less than a 20-point record with Quinn Ewers in this game. But who cares what happens in the game when you always find weird stuff to take over all the essence? This comment perfectly justifies the emotion, saying, “The governor is not a celebrity.” Totally. Because being the Governor of Texas with all that power and influence definitely doesn’t make you a “celebrity.”

Just imagine going to a place where you think you belong and that, too, with a motive to support others, and you get to hear things like, “We don’t like Greg Abbott.” Hate for any political leaders or other famous personalities gives fans a right to express their opinion because it’s an open forum, but what could Abbott have possibly done? He just came to see the match. But it turns out that’s a mistake.

Who would have thought that this epic showdown would turn into an open-source of hate for Greg Abbott? This fan’s straightforward dig at him says the kind of rage they carry for him. “Everyone in Texas hates Greg Abbott.” No way his approval rating could be anything but rock bottom, right? I mean, who wouldn’t love a guy who’s been nothing but supportive? The struggles Greg has gone through from getting paralyzed to making his way till here against all the odds don’t only make him a celebrity but a legend. Unlike this fan’s opinion, “Abbott is NOT a celebrity 😖.” Greg Abbott is a role model for people who believe their life has insurmountable challenges.
