Remembering Georgia’s Larry Munson and The Call You May Never Have Heard
Larry Munson spent 42 years as the voice of the Georgia Bulldogs football teams. He was more than a just a play-by-play announcer. Mr. Munson shared his special gift of bringing the Dawgs best moments into living rooms, on road trips, and to fans who may have had to work during Georgia games.
While he may have a Minnesotan, Georgia fans embraced Mr. Munson and his memorable cadence of quotes, calls, and ability to make every listener and fan feel like they were in the broadcast booth. Who could forget some of these famous calls?
“Lindsay Scott! Lindsay Scott, Lindsay Scott! I broke my chair. I came right through a chair. A metal steel chair with about a 5-inch cushion. I broke it. The booth came apart. The stadium, well, the stadium fell down. Now they do have to renovate this thing. They’ll have to rebuild it now.” Georgia vs Florida 1980
“We just stepped on their face with a hobnailed boot and broke their nose.” Georgia vs Tennessee 2001
“I know I’m asking a lot, you guys, but hunker it down one more time! Look at the sugar falling out of the sky.” Georgia vs Auburn 1982
“He’s running all over people! Oh, you, Herschel Walker. My God Almighty, he ran right through two men. They had him dead-away inside the 9. Herschel Walker went 16 yards. He drove right over orange shirts, just driving and running with those big thighs. My God, a freshman!” Georgia vs Tennessee 1980
