Greatest Announcer Ever!

This past year marked the end of a great era in Georgia Football with the retirement of the man, the myth, the legend: Mr. Lawrence Harry "Larry" Munson. He was by far the most entertaining, energetic, and colorful radio broadcaster ever. He was extremely passionate about his work, and about the Bulldogs. Everybody remembers his famous catch phrase: "Hunker Down!" Larry was always trying to motivate the Dawgs, and motivate his faithful listeners. Mr. Munson was the author of the some of the brilliant broadcast in the nation:"Run Lindsay", "Hobnail Boot", "Oh You Herschel Walker", "The Stadium is Worse than Bonkers", and "Look at the Sugar Falling out of the Sky!" My two personal favorites were "There goes Herschel(against Tech his freshmen year to set the all time rushing record for a freshmen", and "Ole Lady Luck Just Saved Us." I was really thrilled to see the Georgia bring Larry out between the 1st and 2nd quater to pay tribute to the man when they played Tech this past November. The crowd went crazy. I felt bad for Shane because he had an annoying redneck who made the dumbest calls every second the game. I wish Georgia would not have lost to fucking Tech of all teams that game, and got Larry one more victory before he left. We will miss you Larry and the Georgia radio broadcast will never be the same without.
Here is a tribute to Larry Munson:
