Recover with all due haste, you gravelly-voiced devil: Larry Munson, the voice of college football, is recovering from brain surgery after suffering a subdural hematoma Thursday. Send kind thoughts to:
Larry Munson, c/o UGA Athletic Association, P.O. Box 1472, Athens, GA 30603.
Hunker down, sir. The thought of a fall without you has a Gator typing this through welling tears.
Hang in, Larry–we can’t let you go out on a Cocktail Party victory, dammit.
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

HLH-
I started at UGA in ‘92. I think the Frog Pond was still around then, although I never experienced it myself. But in those days Larry would talk about/tell stories about it, and the name would get invoked a few times each week between the pregame show/game/postgame shows.
I don’t know no Keith Williams- my mama went to BU {Boston University, not Baylor}.

Kanu, no way you are old enough to have ever experienced “The Frog Pond” . +1 for keeping the old times alive.
Keith Williams ring a bell? Ask yo mama.

OOC-
Great clip, even if it was a kick in the balls for yours truly, whose seat that day in the UGA student section was aligned perfectly with that East endzone goalline, so we all knew that he had in fact not scored on the penultimate play before everyone else, only to then know that he did score on that final play before anyone else.
That vid was much classier than Billy Ray Tanneyhill coming over, standing up on the bench, and giving the UGA student section the double bird right after that TD {although to be fair, if I was a college student at USC at the time rather than at UGA, I surely would have been down}.
Calling games this year or not calling games this year, here’s hoping for a full return to health for the Frog Pond Lounge’s most famous patron.

That guy can “clear” at least 200wpm.
Word to ya….Heart is the most important muscle. Not something that you can condition, it is a congenital attitude born from a desire to escape as well as excel.

For those non-sports fans, it is difficult to understand the relationship a fan has with those illustrate the games over the radio waves. It sounds like a cliche, but a number of us grew up listening to a transistor radio with our favorite announcer as the only source realtime game information.
Thank God Al Gore invented the internet, but it doesn’t make these great men any less important to us.
Here’s to Larry Munson, Jim Phillips, Gene Deckeroff (I’m sure I killed that spelling) and other longtime radio legends. Thank you, gentlemen. And to Larry Munson, please get well.

Best wishes to Larry. I only listened to him for a few games against us, and ofc strong odds tell you that all of those were Gameock losses. He’s a classy announcer… even in defeat as shown in the UGA-SC ‘93 game Youtube (click my name- mixed with USC’s announcer Bob Fulton) I was there live, and my girlfriends Dad had the radio and was tuned into Fulton… I wanted to hear Larry’s reaction.
Get well soon, if history says anything, replacements for legend announcers are crap. Look at Fulton’s successors, look at Jim Phillips at Clemson’s replacements. Nothing like the legends.
