What Munson would've worried about vs South Carolina
In honor of Georgia vs South Carolina game week and the Dawgs’ SEC opener, here’s a new weekly feature. It should come naturally to me.
Remember how the late Larry Munson used to concern himself about the most pessimistic of details?
He could always talk me into doubting the outcome of a sure blowout as he ran through his notes in the Georgia Bulldogs pregame show with Scott Howard, Hondo Williamson and of course, Loran Smith.
Maybe you still do this to yourself.
I kind of am this week, myself, and that’s what made me think of doing this piece.
Columbia is just weird, man. We spoke about it briefly on this week’s Live Wednesday edition of The Georgia Show.
Crazy things can happen at Williams-Brice Stadium.
With that in mind, I’m going to write what Larry Munson would’ve worried about before each game this season
Read it in his voice, if you’d like.
It will probably enhance the experience.
Every Dawg has a Munson impression ready to go – to varying degrees of accuracy.
I encourage you, no matter where you are, to read these out loud in your best Larry voice and see where it takes you.

Hopefully this context isn’t necessary, but these pieces are meant to be fun.
I have the deepest respect for Larry and his work. This humorous angle is just one of the ways in which I pay tribute to him.
Maybe it will take you back to a Hobnail Boot or to a metal, steel chair with about a five-inch cushion.
Maybe it will just make you more worried about the game.
Hopefully, it’s just the former.
Well you guys, I know we’re 24.5-point favorites but I just don’t know what Vegas is thinking. It feels like a lot of points to me.
Have you seen that chicken? It looks like it’s ready to fight another animal after being fed cheap bird seed all week. I ran into a rooster once on my grandfather’s farm when I was a boy. You never can underestimate those things. They have claws. And that beak can really go to work. I still have the scars on my back to prove it.
We’ve been in this building before and we’ve come up short you guys. They beat Alabama in here once upon a time when the Tide was number one. Now we’re number one. I wish we were number two instead.
You do not want to give them a reason to hit the button on that rooster sound effect. Their secondary is really good you know. If Stetson makes a mistake early those towels and that rooster sound could be a real problem.
I know we’re passing a lot, but where did all of our running backs go? All they do is catch passes now. What’s going to happen when we really need some of those Big Dawgs to run? I don’t know if we can do it just yet, because I haven’t seen it. Todd Monken really is a mystery you guys. And what if he’s distracted considering that Nebraska job? I just don’t know.
Have you seen their quarterback? I don’t care that he’s struggled. That guy still has some serious talent. If we don’t neutralize it early I just know we’re going to hear way too much of that rooster in here today.
I don’t know you guys. It just isn’t hot in here like it usually is.
I thought we were going through global warming, but it’s unseasonably cool here. Maybe it’s a little help from Old Lady Luck. Maybe it’s an advantage for Carolina. The fans won’t have to wipe the sweat off their foreheads with those white towels as much, and they’ll just play that techno music even more so they can wave them.
Rooster. Techno. Rooster. Techno. It just will not stop.
I hope we have a chance. And now we might be wearing different pants? My God. LORRANWHADDYAAGOT?
