Ed Harris narrates Oklahoma’s entrance into the SEC

It’s official. The Oklahoma Sooners are members of the Southeastern Conference . A move that’s been in the works for three years is coming to pass as the University of Oklahoma and the SEC mark the occasion with a celebration in Norman on Monday.

The social media department for the OU athletic department has been hard at work creating content to commemorate Oklahoma’s introduction to its new conference counterparts. And they pulled out all the stops.

Oklahoma alumnus Ed Harris narrated the journey: The Sooner Schooner visited campuses across the SEC . In the video, Harris dons the black cowboy hat and suit, similar to what he wore in the HBO sci-fi hit Westworld as he says, “saddle up partner, this is SEC country.”

It’s the kind of star power requisite for such a momentous occasion as one of the most storied athletic departments in the history of collegiate sports makes its way southeast to the greatest conference in the land.
