This Week's Dawg Sports Literary Competition Wishes Larry Munson a Happy Birthday

by T Kyle King on Sep 27, 2011 6:09 PM EDT in Georgia Bulldogs Fan Events

It seems pretty clear to me what’s happening: The Georgia Bulldogs were 0-2 when there were no literary offerings here at Dawg Sports, but they’ve gone 2-0 since the fanposts took a poetic turn. At this point, it’s science, so we’re going to repeat the Dawg Sports literary competition in the hope of assuring another Red and Black victory this weekend.

Once again, you are invited to share your original literary offerings in the fanposts, between now and 4:00 p.m. Eastern this Friday afternoon. Multiple submissions by the same author are allowed, and the form your contribution takes is up to you, within the fairly broad bounds of propriety established by the site guidelines and the specific request contained in the ensuing paragraph. The best of the bunch will be promoted to the front page on Friday afternoon, and the selection of the winner will be influenced heavily by the comments and "Rec"s each posting receives.

As Kit announced on this week’s podcast, we are setting aside Wednesday, September 28, to honor Larry Munson on his 89th birthday, so, in deference to "the voice of the Bulldogs," we would ask that this week’s literary efforts in some way incorporate the legendary Georgia radio announcer. You are free to make your submission a direct tribute to Larry, to offer an homage to one or more of his famous play calls, or merely to include allusions to the beloved Munson, but his presence or influence should be evident in your piece.

Oh, man, is there going to be some iambic pentameter composed tonight! Look at the poetry falling from the sky! Look at the poetry falling from the sky!

Go ‘Dawgs!

No doubt, Dawg2011.

If we’d started the season against two teams who currently stand at 0-3 (as Florida did) instead of a pair of top ten teams, we’d be 4-0, too. (All right, that was badly worded, but you know what I mean. Half of our non-conference schedule consists of Boise State and Georgia Tech. We haven’t exactly been munching on more than our fair share of cupcakes, and surely the Gators can appreciate the difficulty of winning an SEC road game in the Magnolia State.)

Go 'Dawgs!

Hopefully

Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps had their share of cupcakes and at the end of October mayber they will still be happy, fat and slow…I know wishful thinking.

I love this:

I may not have cupcakes, but I have Halloween candy to keep me company. I guess I should get off my whatchamacallit and get to work. (For the record, I find it awesome that this spellchecker acknowledges the validity of “whatchamacallit.”)
