Georgia athletic director Damon Evans said Thursday that he's "anticipating" Larry Munson 's return for home football games this season following the legendary radio play-by-play announcer's brain surgery.
Munson, 85, hasn't officially announced his return for his 43rd season as the voice of the Bulldogs.
"I'm anticipating that Larry will be there," Evans told the Athens (Ga.) Banner-Herald. "... 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."
Munson had blood clots removed from his brain April 4.
"From what I know, Larry's doing well," said Evans, who added that he has visited Munson since the surgery.
One of Munson's family members said a statement from the announcer should come soon. 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.
"He sounded great," Williamson said.
Georgia opens its season Aug. 30 at home against Georgia Southern.
