Title: RIP Larry Munson
Post by: lstephen on November 20, 2011, 10:02:44 PM
What a great broadcaster. I remember listening to him call Vandy basketball games when I was little. 30 years later Ernie Keller, who worked with Munson on the broadcasts, told me he was the only basketball play by play announcer he'd ever seen who never missed a player that touched the ball.
 
RIP Larry Munson

I remember many years ago, driving through Tennessee on a Saturday night, the radio skipping in and out. I heard, "And the Dawgs are hunkered down on the 1". Chills!

I remember his voice when he was excited and his famous quote "Lauren whatya got?" I saw the Tenn. game when he said the quote about the "hobnail boot" it was funny at that time.
May God Bless and keep his family safe Mr. Munson got to your reward smiling. RTR!

You will be missed, Larry. One of the last legendary radio voices. "Hunker down, you hairy dawgs!'
