The Life and Times of Larry Munson

"Mr. College Football", Tony Barnhart was at Miller Brothers recently to sign copies of his latest book that he co-authored with Larry Munson. Included with the book is a CD of Larry Munson's 10 greatest calls. You don't have to be a member of the Bulldog Nation to appreciate this book and it will make great gifts for Christmas.

For 43 years (1966–2008), Larry Munson was the legendary football radio voice for the University of Georgia Bulldogs. But on September 22, 2008, at the age of 86, Larry announced that it was time to step aside from the one job he loved more than any other in his remarkable career. For decades publishers have been trying to get Larry to write a book about his life. He always declined, saying he had neither the time nor the patience and even asking, “Who would care?” Well, college football fans everywhere care, and today they are celebrating because Larry is finally ready to tell his incredible story.

The 2009 season marks Tony Barnhart's 33rd as a college football reporter for the Internet, radio, and television. Barnhart covered college football for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for 24 years and continues to write the popular Mr. College Football blog for ajc.com. An author of four books on college football, Barnhart hosts his own weekly television show, The Tony Barnhart Show and is in his fifth season as a regular contributor to the College Football Today show on CBS. You can learn more about Atlanta resident Barnhart at www.tonybarnhartshow.com.

If you were not able to attend the book signing, you can purchase book(s) by phone. We still have a limited number of autographed books available and would be happy to handle this for you.
