TFW your head coach wins a natty at his alma mater

I will always love Kirby for this:

Winning a national championship and having the presence of mind to reference Larry Munson?  That’s about as total boss a move as a Dawg could make.

    Did I believe he would do that no I wished that finally he was the guy to get the support needed and change our future. Kirby is Georgia he personally knows our pain better than any of us. The things he said right after the win he knew inside how we all felt. It was all real and extremely personal to bring that Championship back to Athens. The tribute to Larry was priceless and spot on. As was his reaction to the fans there it was real love for his school and it’s fans.

    Can you imagine Munson calling that Ringo pick 6? All I can think is after counting down the yard markers he’d stop about the 30 and go yeah, yeah, yeah!

      I can imagine and have done so. I’ll hear Larry’s voice as long as I live.

        I fully guarantee you that when we all get to Bulldawg Heaven, we will find that Larry has broken several “metal, steel” chairs this season, 5″ cushions and all!

      When it looked bleak and they were driving I could hear him. “Come on you guys Hunker Down, Hunker Down one more time”

        My buddy was doing his best Larry impression saying exactly that before each play of Bama’s drive, till the INT. After that, all of us broke into utter chaos and joy beyond measure! Jumping, screaming, hugging, laughing, crying all at the same time. A moment I will never forget.

    I like to believe he has classic Larry Munson Call “mix tapes” and blasts them through some old school giant (corded) headphones while he watches game film.

    It is how you know that your coach “gets it”. He grew up a dawg fan like us too. He’d probably be a commenter on GTP if he wasn’t our coach.
    Go Dawgs.

    I loved it when he said it on Monday night.

    Apparently, on the DawgNation podcast, they were saying some of the occasional national sports media didn’t get it until Rece Davis made his comment and were acting like Kirby was calling for the fans to cause mayhem in Indy.

    He forgot the Peach Bowl in that tweet. Rose, Sugar, Peach, Orange.

    That’s a pretty good deal. He forgot a Peach Bowl, too.

    I choked up when I saw Kirby say that live. Many coaches and players give lip service to their fanbase. Not this team, and not our coach. I felt they were playing for us, too, and to pull this season off being aware and even acknowledging a little bit the history of Georgia football and the fans is a testament to their coaching and hard work as a team.

    Kirby is the bridge between Old Georgia Junkyard Dogs and modern G Dawgs. Homegrown.
    Pay that man his money.

    I weep for the younger generations not because to way we are going to leave them the world but that they will never hear Larry Munson call a game live.

    I can’t hear a big play and NOT hear Larry in my head no matter who’s on the mic. That gravel voice was the stuff of legend.

    Newer fans didn’t have to wait 41 years for another title.

    Older fans got to experience Larry Munson.

    I’ll take the latter.

    Don’t know where else to put it, so I will post it here….
    My youngest daughter (UGA ’20) and I (UGA ’88) went to the grocery store this afternoon here in beautiful Owensboro, KY, my current residence. We, of course, sported Bulldog gear from head to toe, not in a braggadocious manner, but in a public, respectful, National Championshipy kind of way. (Made that adjective up. So?) First one guy congratulated us, then later another guy, UK fans proud of our win. I looked at my daughter with tears in my eyes. I could barely speak when we left the store. We won. We won it all. Us. Georgia, the perennial bridesmaid, but never the bride, the nice runner-up contestant with great players, but not the champion. But now, we are the champions. My alma mater. My father’s and my 3 daughter’s too. My University of Georgia Bulldogs. Thank you.
