I thought he was pretty good, but he did piss me off with his "hobnailed boot" comment. All's fair in love and war though. He was in fact colorful, and his best moments were pretty good, though I only know them by listening to uga fans ("there's gonna be some furniture broke tonight", lol).
I do have a favorite Larry Munson memory, one of the few times I listened to him live. In 1997, I was in the swamps of Kennedy Space Center for a payload integration test on the Shuttle. It was the last Saturday in October, the day of the Word's Largest Cocktail party. We needed uga to beat UF to make it to our first-ever SECCG. That had unfortunately been true something like 3 of the 5 years it had been in existence.
So around 5 pm local time, I am driving my rental car off the base, wondering if uga had a prayer. I really didn't think they did, as SOS had dominated them since he came back to UF in 1990. I think he circled that game on his calendar every year. As a true gator, man did he hate them!
So I am fiddling with the AM dial on the cheap radio in my "lowest cost" rental car, and in a very static-y voice I catch Munson on a Jacksonville station calling the game as the first half wound down. I don't recall the score, but I think it was a two score lead. As the half closed, he announced the score first, and then added "we...over they! We...over they!" I nearly ran off the road in surprise.
I then headed to local favorite Dixie Crossroads to meet the rest of the team and have rock shrimp while watching uga KICK THAT ASS for the rest of the game. At that point, I knew we were a lock for our first SECCG.
So to Larry Munson...thanks for the memory dude. One of my better football memories, and certainly the best not involving UT.
