Larry Frankfurter

Tthe favorite nephew of Leonard Postoasties, was born in 1953, not
long after Leonard’s sister eloped to Louisiana with a Cajun bon vivant. Like his uncle,
young Larry developed quite a voice, learning to cuss while playing baseball with his
Louisiana friends and later singing bass with the New Orleans Opry. During his
formative years, he loved to visit his uncle Leonard in the classic city. It was there, at a
comfortable corner of the clubhouse of Athens Country Club, that he first heard stories of
Red-Clay Hounds, Tuscaloosa Tuskers and Florida Bathtub Escapees made famous in the
Leonard’s Losers broadcasts of a generation ago. Larry’s football brain was further
sharpened in the wild environs of Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge, where he actually
managed to study just enough to earn two degrees. For several years, he was heard in
stadiums around the SEC as the voice of the Ole Miss Marching Band. He was also an
extremely loud-mouthed umpire of Ohio Valley Conference baseball before venturing
into Half-Nole country, where he was given the third degree. In 1988, he went east to
West Georgia College in Carrollton, where he met his wife. They have two sons with the
same given name and one grandchild. Larry’s uncle Leonard died shortly after the
college became UWG, and there being no immediate heir, Larry inherited the smart pill
machine, which, at the encouragement of West Georgia media magnate, Steve Gradick,
of Gradick Communications, he adjusted to pick the losers of area high school football
games with the same uncanny accuracy it had formerly displayed for college and
professional football losers picked by his uncle. 2011 marks the second year of Larry’s
Losers broadcasts to the delight of local football fans.
