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.

Without him telling me to get the picture, it’s just not worth watching. Plus, we can’t let him off the hook like this.

Hunker Down, Larry.
And RIP Jim Fyffe, who went out with a brain aneurysm. Something about announcing in the Deep South’s Oldest Rivalry causes intracranial bleeds.

Of all the talent we ever let get away, Munson has to be #1. And probably 2, 3 and 4 as well. Be well Larry.

This is one time where the clock that, to Larry’s discomfort never seems to move, needs to get stuck. It may be the 4th Quarter, but this is where all hairy dawgs hunker down. Time for a celestial time out, followed by a never expiring play clock..
Get the picture?

Once Larry’s gone, an era will end forever.
RE: #16- I must be much smarter than Herschel because I wouldn’t need the last 1975 pushups, 1970 situps, 1490 pullups, or 985 dips to learn the same thing.

Out of Conference says:
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.

Brandon Lang says:
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.

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.

Kanu says:
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.

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.

Kanu says:
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}.
