Georgia 'anticipating' Munson's return to booth

ATHENS, Ga. — Georgia athletic director Damon Evans says he is "anticipating" the return of radio play-by-play announcer Larry Munson for home games this season following Munson's brain surgery.

The 85-year-old Munson has not yet made his return official for his 43rd season as the voice of the Georgia network.

"I'm anticipating that Larry will be there," Evans told the Athens Banner-Herald.

"Larry's the play-by-play guy for the University of Georgia and I'm excited that he is. The most important thing is I want Larry's health to be good for him and whatever Larry decides, we'll deal with it and move forward. Right now that's what the expectations are."

Munson had blood clots removed from his brain on April 4.

"From what I know, Larry's doing well," Evans said, adding he has visited Munson since the surgery.

One of Munson's family members said a statement from Munson should come within a couple of weeks. The family member said he anticipated a "very positive statement for the Bulldog Nation."

Neil Williamson, WSB radio director of sports marketing, said he recently spoke with Munson for about 20 minutes.

"He sounded great," Williamson said. "It's Larry's gig and we sure hope and fully expect he'll be there against Georgia Southern."

Vanderbilt RB arrested

Vanderbilt running back Jermaine Doster was arrested early Friday morning following an incident at a night club in his hometown of Tampa, Fla.

According to jail records, the 20-year-old was charged with disorderly conduct, criminal mischief and obstructing an officer without violence, all misdemeanors.

Nashville newspaper The Tennessean reports Doster was escorted out of The Honey-Pot Bar by Tampa police and asked to leave. He was arrested when he failed to cooperate, and then he kicked out one of the windows in the back of the squad car.

Doster was released on $1,250 bond later Friday morning.

He is the younger brother of the former Commodore running back Kwane Doster, who was shot to death in Tampa in December 2004 while he was back home for Christmas.
