ATHENS — Larry Munson’s call of Kevin Butler’s 60-yard, game-winning field goal against Clemson in 1984 is the stuff of legend and lives on 40 years later. But Butler himself credits his mom, Sharon, for producing the best line from that whole experience.

I remember that day clearly. My wife and I were at the Savanah Hyatt and my wife was upset that I refused to leave the hotel until the game was over. Listening to Munson was always special, but this call sticks with me just like when he said " my god, he's just a freshman" when calling Herschel's touchdown against Tennessee. Irony is now my wife only listens to UGA games on the radio and refuses to watch on TV. Her favorite UGA radio personality is KB himself. KB leading the Dawgs as the honorary captain on Saturday is perfect
Go Dawgs!
I was there. 20 year old fan from the Georgia coast. My good friends Dad had 50 yard line season tickets 7 rows up behind the Ga bench and we were in them. Yes we went bonkers. Hugging and kissing friends and strangers. I’ve been hooked ever since
KB—I was your humble servant much of the time you were in Athens. We lived in Athens while my wife was finishing her masters in Education. I was the breadwinner working at "Last Chance Liquors" on the Madison highway. It was always great seeing you or you and your buddies the MANY, MANY times you graced our doors! Those were the days—GO DAWGS!
