SEC Network & ESPN Marketing

• The 2023 SEC Network Football Anthem is an extension of the multi-platform SEC Network Football Runs Deep marketing campaign. Runs Deep reflects the richness of SEC football fandom and lifestyle. The Black Crowes’ cover of Otis Redding’s “Hard To Handle” serves as the soundtrack of the anthem. Emmy-nominated actor Walton Goggins lends his voice as the narrator of this ode to SEC football fandom. Birmingham-born and Atlanta-raised, Goggins currently stars as Baby Billy in HBO’s The Righteous Gemstones and has several TWDC credits to his name, such as MARVEL’s Ant-Man and The Wasp and FX’s Justified.
