Last night the Georgia Bulldog nation lost their greatest cheerleader and one of the great sportscasters of all time. For 41 great years Larry Munson was THE voice of the Bulldogs. While many play by play announcers stuck to the x's ond o's of the game there was no doubt that Larry Munson was a "homer". He was broadcasting for the Dawgs. When the dogs were on TV the only way to watch the game was with the sound turned down and the radio on! For the 1980 Florida game that is exactly how I was watching it.
No doubt there will be countless tributes over the next few days and we will all be reliving "Sugar Falling From the Sky", "Hobnail Boot", and of course that great 1980 Florida call "Run Lindsay Run .....OMG I broke my chair"
Here are a few videos that I found. I was sad as I watched these but have to admit that I had a smile as well with the great cherished memories as only Munson could make them.
