Munson Retires

Larry Munson, one of the greatest play by play announcers college football will ever have, has decided it's time to retire. He enjoyed an incredible tenure at the University of Georgia and so did his fans. No other broadcaster has ever had the same ability to paint pictures with their words. One of the most endearing aspects of Mr. Munson's work, was his emotionally charged outbursts. If the Dawgs were down, you felt it in Larry's voice. When Georgia was successful, his narratives became legends of their own. Among the list of famous calls are "Run Lindsey Run", "Touchdown! Oh God, a touchdown!", and "We just crushed their face with a Hobnailed boot!"

Mr. Munson's voice on the Georgia Bulldog Radio Network will be sorely missed and never replaced or duplicated. Thanks for your dedication and loyalty, Mr. Munson. You are a true Georgia icon and one of the greatest Bulldogs of all time!
