I believe you are thinking of Will Ferrell being a USC fan. I remember before the Texas vs USC NCG game there was a funny intro with him and Matthew McConaughey.

JK calls his costar a pussy.
@BUCKYLE, you drinking? Want a bowl of cereal? 10 years ago we started this drunken idiot thing that has inspired several generations of amateur drinkers. We are like the Tony Hawk of drinking cheap beer. Let's make a video game so we can drink more expensive beer!!!

Wrong glass, Sir.
Born in Detroit, went to The Ohio State University and then won Oscars because...Ohio actors have special powers.
Still, only our second coolest acting alum.

LOS ANGELES (WCMH) – A famous California Buckeye fan is excited to see the team play right in his own backyard.
Central Ohio native JK Simmons won the 2014 Academy Award for best supporting actor for the film Whiplash. Thursday, he talked with NBC4’s Jerod Smalley about his love of the Buckeyes.
“I get a fair amount of random, you know, walking through the mall, O-H,” said Simmons.
Simmons bleeds scarlet and gray. He grew up in Worthington and graduated from Thomas Worthington High School. He also briefly attended Ohio State.
“We moved to Ohio from that state up north when I was 10 years old. My dad had a job at Ohio State in the music department. Started taking me to the games when I was 11, 12, all through junior high,” said Simmons. “In high school, I was in the stands for most of the home games. I had to arm wrestle my mom for the tickets once in a while. She liked to go and watch the marching band at halftime.”
Smalley asked Simmons what he would say to the team, understanding the emotion and meaning of the game.
“All you gotta say is, ‘Do this for Urban, do this for each other.’ That’s my speech right there,” said Simmons.

Unless I am wrong, his father left Ohio State when he graduated in 1972 in Worthington. He actually went to university in Montana and graduated there, but his junior high and high school years he was in the stands at Ohio Stadium and that is the link. When I was in California, I heard that he is an enthusiastic Buckeye fan.Born in Detroit, went to The Ohio State University and then won Oscars because...Ohio actors have special powers.
