Munson sends regards
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
In a letter to Claude Felton, associate athletic director for sports communications, the family of the legendary voice of the Georgia Bulldogs, Larry Munson, gives a brief update on his condition and his intention to return to the booth for a 43rd season.
What follows is the letter in its entirety.
August 1, 2008
The Munson family wishes to update the Bulldog nation on the health of Larry Munson. On April 4th of 2008, Larry had surgery to repair a subdural hematoma. The surgery was performed at St. Mary’s Hospital in Athens. The surgery went very well. A couple of weeks later Larry was moved to the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, GA to continue his rehabilitation process.
Currently, Larry is in his final weeks of rehabilitation and expects to make a full recovery. Larry has every intention of calling the Georgia home games this season and is ready for the football season to begin. In order for Larry to uphold the great Georgia tradition of calling the play by play for your Bulldogs, he will have to limit speaking engagements, autograph sessions, and interviews so all his energy can be focused on calling the games.
The Munson family wishes to personally thank all the doctors, nurses, and therapists at St. Mary’s Hospital, the Shepherd Center, and Athens Regional who have worked very hard to help Larry make a full recovery. The family would also like to thank his employer Cox Radio and the University of Georgia for being so understanding at such a crucial time in Larry’s life. Thanks again to all the fans that sent cards and letters wishing Larry well.
Go Dawgs!
The Munson Family
Send Munson well wishes.

UGA No. 1 in coaches poll
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The nation’s college football coaches have spoken - Georgia is the No. 1 team in the country in the preseason. (See story).
In today’s release of the preseason USA Today coaches poll, Georgia is ranked first followed by Southern Cal, Ohio State, Oklahoma and Florida. The release of the poll comes a little more than a week after the media in the SEC voted the Dogs to finish second in the SEC East behind Florida.
So, are you more inclined to believe the coaches or the media? Or would you just rather wait until the season starts and watch the Dogs settle matters on the field?
Let us know what you think. Also, weigh in as Chip Towers offers his opinion on the Georgia beat blog and the Junkyard Blawger offers a fan’s perspective.
