Another Reason Larry Munson Shouldn't Retire

It's hard for me to say this, but I hope Georgia play-by-play man Larry Munson never retires. It's hard for me to say that because I'm a Tennessee fan and some of Munson's most memorable calls have come at the detriment of my Vols (hobnail boot, anyone?). Still, in an age where everyone is trying to be everything to everybody, Munson's unabashed homerism is refreshing. Even though he's still no better than 50-50 on announcing games for UGA this fall, and an interim replacement -- Munson's sidekick Scott Howard -- as been named should he need to be called upon, I'm still hoping the "Voice of the Bulldogs" sticks around a little longer. And here's a reason why: some ingenious Dawg fan has used NCAA '07 to re-create Georgia's game-winning touchdown against Georgia Tech from last year, and dubbed Munson's call over it.

Video games and Munson, who would've thought. Now if someone does this for the hobnail boot call, I'll kick his ass and buy him a beer, though I'm not sure in which order.

apples and oranges, I was talking about what is bothersome when talking football with Georgia fans, Not the (admitted) overuse of our own fight song.

I do remember hearing "ive been working on the railroad" (whatever the hell UGA's fight song is, sounds like it to me) plenty of times at the 2006 and 2004 games in Athens. Played ":) - *Rocky Top" real loud on the way home after both.

p.s. - Tennessee has 2 e's on the end

I am far from being a Georgia fan, but give the man some respect. Look at what he has done in his lifetime (including being a vet of WWII). I say go for it as long as you can, Larry!
