“He turned Georgia football games into larger- than-life experiences. He awakened excitement and pinpointed fear in the depths of Dawg fans' souls and shouted out those emotions on radios statewide. His voice will go down in history as the soundtrack of some of the most famous play calls, highlight reels, and moments for UGA that will simply never be forgotten. Whether it was his describing the ``sugar'' falling out of the sky, or begging the Dawgs to hunker down one more last time, Larry Munson had an unmatched ability to find words for feelings that just could not be spoken.

He loved Georgia football, and Georgia football loved Larry Munson just right back.…”
