As you doubtless have seen mentioned somewhere by now, rumors are flying regarding the health of Larry Munson. Several of us on the Dawg Sports team have received e-mails concerning these rumors, which have produced a great deal of activity on Twitter. The only newspaper story I have seen regarding these reports appears here, but, as noted in this comment thread, even that news report is conflicting, because the story linked to above appears to be a successor story to a previous report by the same news outlet containing a since-removed quotation from Loran Smith, who reportedly indicated that Munson was hospitalized but was not as gravely ill as the rumors had indicated.

Accordingly, we at Dawg Sports would urge everyone to remain cautious and respectful during this period of uncertainty. In the absence of a properly-sourced news report or a public statement from Munson's family or physician, or from Butts-Mehre Heritage Hall, we would encourage you to offer continued thoughts and prayers for the good health of the voice of the Bulldogs, but otherwise to treat rumors as just that.

We hope Larry Munson will continue to be with us for a long time to come, and we will address breaking news once it is actually broken, or once we receive reports from what we consider to be legitimate sources. We try to be careful about reacting to rumors, particularly ones of this nature, and we would ask everyone to remain calm and rational in the absence of a reason to react otherwise.

Your cooperation is appreciated, and your comments are welcome.

Go 'Dawgs!
