As someone who first learned to love college football listening to Larry live and die with Dooley's Dawgs in the early 1980s, this is sad news indeed. RIP. :-[

I'm not a Georgia fan but this is still one of my favorite radio calls of all time, if only for what he says after the :30 mark.



RIP to one of college football's signature voices.

RIP, you were the best.

Munson calling Herschel Walker's first TD has always been one of my favorites

The hob-nail boot and the suhgar from the sky are two of the best.

Even this Florida Gator is sad ... RIP Larry.

Godspeed to your family.

The Georgia fan on the newsside in my office is listening to some of his greatest calls right now. Sad day indeed.

RIP to another voice of my youth. I'm sure Larry Munson and Ernie Johnson are in the same circles up there.

All I'll say, as a Vol fan, is:

Hob-nail boot.

 

[Evil ... Thy name is Orville Redenbacher!!]

I'll bet Lewis Grizzard met Larry at the door.

R.I.P.

DOH!!! Thanks, I looked at both, guess I copied the wrong one

I agree, that even as not that big a fan of Georgia, I enjoyed his calls and he will really be missed. Broadcasters of his caliber are becoming a rarer and rarer breed.

RIP. The stupid clock ran out.

His "Run Lindsay!" call is one of my all-time favorites. people forget he was the Voice of Vandy for several years before the Hairy Dawgs came callin.

hunker down, larry, youre already sorely missed.

This fanboi looser's heart is heavy today, but it makes me smile to think of Lewis and Larry, sitting together, talking about fishing, toasting an SEC East title -- and fretting about how there's no way we can beat Tech, let alone LSU.
