Today is a sad for us here in Bulldog Nation. Larry Munson has been the voice of the Dawgs for many of us fans for our entire lives.
I wish him well, and hope he conquers the health problems he faces and lives a long happy retirement.
Or to put it in his style of words :
The opponent is grinding grinding grinding, Larry’s back is against the wall, and only his will is keeping the opponent out of the endzone. Hunker Down you Hairy Dawg, Hunker Down!!!!
And as for you MrChips - you can kiss my hairy arse.
I’d heard from a lot of people not just UGA fans but around the SEC that, maybe he got on a few nerves, but he was on some level respected—sort of a Chick Hearn of the SEC.
Do you know who Munson’s replacement will be?
Some trivia for you. From 1983-85 Munson also did play by play for the USFL Jacksonville Bulls.
It is sad to see him go.
So, I didn’t like Munson. His hackneyed “We” was the most grating sound in sports. You know, I love my state (Georgia), but some years ago I drove my mother northward to Atlanta the day after the Florida game . . . or “cocktail party” I think it’s called . . . and I was embarrassed for her (and for myself) by the hundreds of cars passing us with four-letter words painted all over them by Georgia fans. And that last comment of yours just now is more of the same, and is precisely why I’m not a Bulldog fan. It is all too typical. Good day, Sir.
Even back then he had his own unique style.
Didn't he help with Atlanta Braves broadcasts when they first moved there from Milwaukee?
This Gator wishes Mr. Munson all the best in his retirement.
