Voice of The Bulldogs
Munson's gravelly voice was one of the most distinctive in all of U.S. sports announcing and was regarded as endearing by Georgia Bulldog fans. Unlike many of his peers, Munson's style was to avoid any pretense of journalistic objectivity or accuracy during his broadcasts. He was an unabashed Bulldog fan, but because he generally espoused a dour or pessimistic view of the team, his broadcasts were considered among the modern generation of sportscasters as not only acceptable, but sometimes even more authentic than contemporary sportscasting. His unique turns of phrase – which were virtually always made offhand – became a part of Bulldog fan vernacular.
