[McConaughey wants] his children to be immersed in the culture and craic of Ireland and that he hopes that he too can learn a cupla focail (a little Irish) along the way. "I gotta keep up the Gaelic. I want them reading the literature. I want Riverdancing. I want them saying 'grand' and 'lunatic" to the marvelous," said McConaughey. "When they're older, I want to send them to that Irish language summer camp you guys do. It's like a rite of passage for you guys, isn't it? When you're teenagers. I want them fluent – which means I gotta do a crash course too."
Jim McConaughey was born in Mississippi in 1929 and raised in Morgan City, La., and was 6 feet 2 inches and 220 pounds when he started playing defensive end for college coaching legend Bear Bryant (with whom he shared a nickname) at the University of Kentucky. He moved on before Bear did and played his last two years at the University of Houston, winning a watch as the conference's most improved player before being drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 1953. Before long, though, he was back in Texas with his bride, Kay, ending up in Uvalde (population today: 15,000). "Matthew was an accident," insists Rooster.
Big Jim ran a Texaco station in Uvalde, but in 1980 – boom time – he moved the family to Longview and went into the pipe business. McConaughey's mother, Kay, was a Trenton, New Jersey-born schoolteacher, and in the course of 39 years she and Big Jim were twice divorced and twice remarried (Big Jim died in 1992). Nevertheless, it was a fairly religious, no-nonsense family with a few simple rules: no lying, no back talk, and, McConaughey remembers, "You could never say 'I can't.'"
