"One And Done, Baby!"

With all the hype and attention {and deservedly so} given to the fact that Larry Munson missed calling his 2nd Georgia game in 42 years on Saturday because he will no longer do road games, I just wanted to point out that Scott Howard, in his very first game moving over from the co-pilot seat to drive the Bulldog Radio Network jumbo jet all by himself, came up with a great call on Georgia's amazing game winning play.


As first days on the job go, this was pretty impressive.

Not a bad way to start your play by play career in the shadow of one of the most legendary announcers in the history of football. It must have been difficult and intimidating as hell for him to do this first game, and not just any game but a high profile night road game against a good ranked team and historic program. Probably akin to taking over the CBS news anchor the day after Walter Cronkite's last broadcast and having some major news happen that day, and not only holding up well but even nailing the news Veronica Corningstone style.

Well done, Good Sir, well done.
