So...who has the balls to make the hobnail boot death joke?

 

[bamacheats]

Go Vols!

Gotta say I was never a big fan of his style but definitely a beloved figure in UGA athletics....

 

[LittleDTO]

He was a good guy from what I hear.

He was a great guy. He drove me crazy at times, but he was one of the last great football voices.

"Man, is there going to be some property destroyed tonight!"....

One of the great radio calls of all time . . .

Just been reported that Larry Munson died. Great guy if you're a Dawg fan.

Hobnail boot stomped on his heart

Pretty tacky.

 

[rmsmith]

[FiremedicVol]

[SDV]

Pretty tacky.

Sorry to hear the news

 

[StarRaider]

RIP, enjoyed your UGA calls over the years on the all night radio.

Agreed. Like I said... I'm not really into the homerism he displayed but that was a top 5 all time, all sport call! Especially when he falls out of the chair and goes on to describe the chair itself! It'll be interesting to hear what Belue has to say tomorrow on 680.... Hopefully that nimrod Kincaide will shut up long enough for Buck to say his piece....

 

[GASOUTHERNVOL]

RIP, he was a character for sure.

 

[bluetickhound16]

Pretty tacky.

Really.... Now isn't the time for junk like that. I would hope John Ward gets some respect from opponent fanbases (even if they didn't care for Ward's style...) when his time comes. Condolences to Dawg Nation from this Vol....

Had heard that he was ill. Hate to see the legends of the SEC fade away.

 

[BeecherVol]

Hate to hear that. Condolences to his family.

He had his moments. The few times I was forced to listen to him while calling a UT game it was awful. He would go 10 mins and never give the score nor time remaining in the game. And when a big play happened you couldn't make out what happened for several minuets.

Thoughts are with his family none the less.

Sorry for your loss dawg. Would be like Wards passing here. Great play caller. RIP.

Thanks. If you're a Dawg fan, Munson is like one of your family. Ward is the same for Vol fans. We SEC fans like to believe that we hate each other. But we're all cut from the same cloth.

As a Dawg fan, this one really hurts.

Larry Munson was an SEC legend....He is to UGA what John Ward is to UT...RIP Mr. Munson

You talking about Bob Kesling?

89. Pretty nice long run. But we're all gonna get Munson'ed in the end.
