Great story! Many people don't know that Larry Munson started out as the voice of Vanderbilt. He had a Sunday show on channel 5 WLAC called Munson Outdoors. Any of you southern or western Kentucky people remember that?

I thought Larry Munson was once an aspiring pro bowler?

Munson's hobnail boot call was one of the greatest in radio history.

And we had "Leonard's Losers." I enjoyed a lot of games listening to Cawood and hearing Leonard make his predictions before the games.

Leonard's loser in a close one..........Jawga

Remember him calling Vandy games and remember his show on channel 5.

Nice read. Brings back a lot of memories. In the mid 70's when I was in the Navy I
had a girlfriend from Folkston, Ga. Her family lived on the edge of the Okefenokee
swamp and as Munson said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
