Lawrence Harry Munson (September 28, 1922 - November 20, 2011) was an American sports announcer and talk-show host based out of the U.S. city of Athens, Georgia. He was best known for handling radio play-by-play of University of Georgia Bulldogs football games from 1966 to 2008. He also handled the play-by-play for UGA basketball and Atlanta Falcons radio broadcasts and hosted sports-related talk shows. Munson served as a United States Army medic during World War II. He spent all $200 of his mustering-out pay to enroll in a Minneapolis radio broadcasting school. His first job was announcing the names of boxers and wrestlers for $15 a week. Munson moved on to AM radio station KFBC in Cheyenne, Wyoming, as a sports reporter in 1946. At KFBC, Munson met and became friends with co-worker Curt Gowdy. At that time, Gowdy was also the football announcer for the Wyoming Cowboys. In From Herschel to a Hobnail Boot Larry Munson holds nothing back and gives the inside story of the love affair between a broadcaster and his loyal followers. Providing a behind-the-scenes look into the life and career of a legend, this autobiography includes an exclusive audio CD of Larry Munson's 10 greatest calls, details on Munson's youth in Minneapolis and his love for the outdoors and musical talents, his broadcasting journey around the country before finally landing in Georgia, and the ups and downs of his four decades as part of the Georgia program. A must-have for fans of the University of Georgia, Larry Munson's story is a remarkable look at an era where the radio voice of college football was king.
