This is Jody Hart, Pete’s longtime girlfriend.  What a wonderful tribute to a talented, witty, gentle man. He would be bursting with pride after reading this.  

We have set up a Facebook page “In Memory of Pete Lammons” for people to post pictures and memories.  Would you mind sharing this tribute with the world. It brought such joy to my heart to read it and I’m sure others will be touched as well

 

I loved my #87. May he Rest In Peace

Pete Lammons, my love, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, April 29, 2021. My heart will be forever broken over this tremendous loss. We were together 8 1/2 years of fun, laughter and love. When we started dating, I had no idea he had a professional football career with the New York Jets, won Super Bowl III, played as a tight end for Joe Namath. But even more important than that, he let me into his heart every day of his life since we met.

Last weekend, we spent the weekend with our very good friends at Lake McQueeny cooking hamburgers on the grill, playing Yahtzee and taking a sunset cruise on the lake. It could not have been more perfect. Little did I know, that would be the last time I ever saw him. This was our last picture together. He passed away at a fishing tournament 4 days later – doing what he loved.

Seems we had very little in common. Pete loved Fox News, football and fishing. .. and I learned more about football in the last 8 years than I ever wanted to know. He introduced me to Larry Gatlin, Joe Namath and other celebrities over the years. We traveled to Memphis, Ottawa, Canada, the Bahamas, St. Maarten, New York and San Antonio and many other adventures that will be forever wonderful memories in my heart.

I cannot cannot imagine my life without you, Pete, but God chose to call you home and I truly believe He is good and He is in control. Thank you for loving me and telling me and showing me that love every single day we were together.

Pete Lammons was a loyal friend, absolute character, and Texas football legend. Today, old 87 is drinking cocktails with Ocho Ocho in the T-Association bar in heaven, and I am the sadder for it.

As one of my father’s closest friends, I felt honored to bask in the aura of Pete’s always positive and fun-loving personality for much of my life. He, along with the other immortal members of the Texas 1963 Championship team were the giants I looked up to in my youth and wanted to emulate.

Dad met him at the 1959 Texas High School Football All-Star Game, and the two became inseparable friends for the next 50 years. In that special friendship I got to ride along as a kid spectator, and man did I love every second of it. The stories I heard from those two about the old battles fought in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas and in the Phi Delt frat house in Austin could fill the LBJ library. When I returned from my third and last tour in Iraq and my mother was too sick with cancer to make the trip, Pete came out to Camp Lejuene with my dad and took my fellow Marine buddies and me out to dinner. In a night still talked about my buddies, Pete went drink for drink, story for story with us, and made every one of us feel special. He had a way of doing that with strangers, and I never meant anybody who ever met him who did not consider them his friend after.

Later, when dad got sick, Pete along with Tommy Harper never left my dad’s side as he navigated the tough reality of his tumor treatment. I can still remember my dad’s face lighting up (even when he was in extreme pain) whenever Pete walked into the room or called him with a little “pep” talk. I am not sure how I could have made it through that time without his always positive support as well.

I know Ocho Ocho is frustrated that he went first because I am sure he would have loved to speak for an hour about how wonderful Pete was and how much he meant to him, as in fact, Pete did for him nine years ago. I hope I have briefly done some service in that regard in this post. I hear there are no limits on fish or game in heaven, and I take comfort in that these old friends are at least now able to share that blessing together.

We will miss you, Pete, Hook Em!

My dad and Pete fished together for a long time and he was part of our family since I was a kid. He lived down the street from us and for as long as I can remember he was over for Sunday family dinners with his dog berister. He was part of our family and we spoke 3 weeks ago. I loved Pete he was their for ever milesstone me and my sister had, and he hated when I would wear my aggie shirt when ut and a&m played each other. Our hearts were broken when we found out the news and esp. My dad and mom. He will be dearly missed and he was one special man. We love you pete

PETE LAMMONS PLAYED FOR THREE HALL OF FAME COACHES. 



Pete was a superior athlete blessed with Hall of Fame-caliber coaches.  Bum Phillips at Jacksonville high school, Darrell Royal at Texas, and Weeb Eubanks in New York all touched Pete Lammons’s life.  

One Longhorn coach described Pete as having “a sweet smile and a mean disposition.” Leaving Texas with many honors and a National Championship, he was drafted in the 4th round of the New York Jets’ 1966 AFL draft.  

Fellow Longhorn teammates Jim Hudson and George Sauer were already on the Jets team,  and they did their best to help  Pete transition from college to professional football. 

Lammons received his share of honors as a Longhorn and a Jet,  but Pete’s career story is about more than football facts. 

The Origin Of The “Guarantee” To Win Said By Joe Namath.

Namath is credited with the “guarantee” to beat the Colt’s statement, but  Pete Lammons is the inspiration for the quote. Lammons says, “we were going to be 18-point underdogs, but I don’t think many people (on the team)  understood it or cared about it.” “We started watching a film of the Colts on the Tuesday before the game. When we finished, I told our offensive coordinator, “if we keep watching these films, we’re gonna get overconfident.” “Namath remembers Pete’s comment and shares that story on an NFL documentary. Namath said, “We all laughed, giggled, and chuckled, but there was that underlying confidence.” A couple of days later, Namath, during a banquet speech, guaranteed a Jets victory.    

In the game, Pete did his job of guaranteeing the win by catching three balls and delivering bruising blocks that paved the way for the Jets’ win.

Football rule-makers allowed unlimited substitution for the first time since 1952.  Royal said I will play the best player on the team on offense and defense, and the best players at both positions are Bedrick, Elliott, Nobis, and Lammons.

Two of the greatest Horns. Both were National Champions and Super Bowl Champions. Both are now gone, but their stories will live on.

 Tom Pickryl shares a Pete Lammons story:  

As a kid, I was so proud to see those 4 Longhorns star in that Super Bowl. They were my heroes. When I was fifteen years old, I had my knee operated on by Dr. John Buckley, who did all of the joint surgeries for the UT football team. One day while I was waiting for Dr. Buckley, Pete Lammons walked in, and I was so excited I was almost speechless. He was so gracious to a pimply-faced first-year high school student. I will never forget that great player and a great guy.

Thanks for the piece on Lammons and UTNY. You might add as a footnote that the four of them reportedly kept their hands in the Austin scene from afar by bankrolling the Orange Bull North at 45th and Lamar in the late 60’s. The old Orange Bull at 29th and Guadalupe was the favorite haunt for lots of us UT students in the mid-sixties whether we were 21 or not. The best thing about it was it was upstairs and had two entrances/exits. If a Liquor Control Board agent came up one way, the youngsters could bolt down the other stairs. I remember one such night in 1967 after I had turned 21 and the LCB came by about 11:00. The four or five of us of-agers left in the place drank from free pitchers left on the tables by all the others who had suddenly remembered important appointments elsewhere. Ah, youth.

It was unusual for scholarship Longhorn athletes to leave the team voluntarily. In fact, it was unprecedented.  So I asked Pete Lammons why George Sauer and Dan Mauldin chose to leave the team.  

Here is Pete’s comment  03/22/2020

Pete Lammons

“Billy great to visit with u. Geo Sauer in my opinion is the best wide receiver to come out of the Univ. of Texas. He is the only one to lead the league in #receptions. Was in the top 5 two or three times really worked hard to hone his skills for receiving at Texas and in the pros. Was responsible for many big catches in big games  George Sauer and Dan Mauldin didn’t get along with Coach Royal so both didn’t come back for a Senior season. Really affected my Senior year.”      END OF PETE’S COMMENT

Love this picture of Jim and Pete. Jim, Pete, and Scott Palmer led the way for Texas players to the Jets. My husband, Travis Roach, was called “Tex” when he was drafted by the Jets because of these great guys leading the way. So sorry to hear this news and prayers of peace and comfort for his family.

REMEMBERING NUMBER 87by Larry Carlson

REMEMBERING NUMBER 87

by Larry Carlson

A couple of years ago, I started sending a few Christmas cards each year to people I had never met. People who had brought me joy through their deeds on the playing field, on the tinny-sounding radios of my youth, the concert stage, via the books they wrote, whatever. I think it’s important to tell people how much they’ve meant to you, even if it was from afar. So what if they’ve perhaps received thousands of compliments and countless kudos from faceless fans. It means something to me to express it and it might even brighten the day of a famous or forgotten someone.

It’s tough to read that another sports or music hero from my childhood has died. But it seems to happen almost every month now. It comes with my own years adding up, ticking quickly like those electronic signs that track the national debt.

Pete Lammons’s death this week is a particular blow to the spirit for me.

He was always one of my favorite Longhorns and was my favorite Super Jet when “UTNY” (Lammons, George Sauer, Jim Hudson and John Elliott) shocked the football world in January 1969. With a little help from their friends, including a shaggy, charismatic quarterback the Longhorns had beaten in the Orange Bowl four years earlier, UTNY beat the high and mighty Baltimore Colts for all the Super marbles. Now the last surviving member of the UTNY fraternity is gone.

Long before the Jets ruled Manhattan and the NFL, Pete Lammons was synonymous with success. Lots of it. Texas won the national championship in Pete’s first varsity season, 1963, as he made his presence known on both sides of the ball. Lammons, UT’s first great tight end, went on to lead Texas in receiving in ’64 and ’65. He had more receptions than any other tight end in the twenty-year DKR era.: Only future NFL wideouts Cotton Speyrer and Alfred Jackso bested his ’65 reception total of 27 in the Royal years.

Lammons wasn’t catching darts and bullets at Texas. He was corralling fluttering ducks from “Marvelous” Marvin Kristynik, infamous for tossing wobblers. A writer once asked Kristynik, in a post-game interview, whether he had thrown a wobbler or a wounded duck on a certain play.

“I threw a touchdown,” Marv said, settling the issue.

On a November day in 1965, Marv threw only three passes — all for touchdowns — in a 35-14 win over Baylor. Pete Lammons was on the receiving end of two and caught another touchdown pass from Greg Lott, all in the first half. It was an unheard-of feat in the 1960s. (Lammons’s record 3 TD catches would not be equaled by a Longhorn until All-America TE Pat Fitzgerald did it 30 years later. It has been bested once, by Wane McGarity, in a shootout loss to Tech in ’98)

As a 12-year-old burnt orange-clad Texas fan sitting with my Dad In the Memorial Stadium knothole section, I was ecstatic seeing Lammons’s hat trick of touchdowns. Lammons, not the great Tommy Nobis, was my favorite player in ’65. I had decided that Pete’s number 87 was the coolest jersey number in the world. Some years later, while in college, I found an 87 jersey, with the stitched-on numbers, for sale at Rooster Andrews’s Sporting Goods store on Guadalupe. Rooster was selling old game jerseys and I snapped that baby up. I’ve still got it stowed away somewhere. And don’t tell anyone but I use “87” in various computer passwords all the time.

Pete, Mike and Frank were my cousins and I spent many memorable summers in Jacksonville. Lots of fun memories of those times. But my fondest memory of Pete and Frank and Maydra was their showing up at my husbands funeral. He died unexpectedly and I don’t even remember if I let them know. However Pete made my little girl 13, smile when he “shared” his Super Bowl ring. He had a big heart and I will miss him.

So Lammons went on to the New York Jets, made the AFL All-Star game in just his second season, then was a rock-solid member of the Super Bowl champs the next year and for several more seasons before winding down his pro career for a year in Green Bay.

Later, he worked in real estate back in Texas. And he got into the thoroughbred horse biz for 20 years with his old Longhorns and Jets teammate, Jim Hudson. Lammons told a Jets website several years ago that he got to do it all, breeding the horses, raising them and racing them. “I don’t know if I made any money but we had fun,” Lammons said.

About 15 years ago, I was headed from Shreveport back to my home in San Antonio. I decided to adjust my route and drive to Pete Lammons’ hometown of Jacksonville, in Cherokee County. It was out of the way but I was on a mission. I made it to the famous Tomato Bowl in the gloaming, the sun far behind the East Texas pines. Walking around the venerable stone stadium and peering in, I marveled at its old-school cool. Pete Lammons had played here for The Fightin’ Indians. The Tomato Bowl is now, along with the home of the El Paso High Tigers, one of my two favorite high school stadiums in The Great State. But the Tomato Bowl has the edge, I reckon. My old hero, Pete Lammons played there.

I’m regretting that I never sent Pete a Christmas card. I’m wishing he had lived to catch more fish, to watch another Kentucky Derby. But I’m going to have faith he will get a grin from this remembrance.

A permanent site for a celebration of Pete’s life is a work in process at https://www.texaslsn.org/pete-lammons

Texas football great Pete Lammons dies, leaves behind a stirring legacy

Kirk BohlsHookem

Pete Lammons, a former All-Southwest Conference tight end for Texas and a key player on the New York Jets team that turned in the most historic Super Bowl upset ever, drowned Thursday during a bass fishing tournament near Brookeland. He was 77.

Lammons, an experienced angler, was fishing near the San Augustine park area on Sam Rayburn Reservoir when he fell from a boat and couldn’t recover as he tried to get back in the boat, a family member told the American-Statesman. He was fishing in the Toyota Series at Sam Rayburn, competing in his 57th tournament.

Lammons, who lived in Houston, will be remembered as a wonderful teammate and gregarious friend who had an active spirit and a large appetite for life. The family and Jody Krautz, Lammons’ longtime girl friend, are planning to hold a memorial in Houston honoring his life.

“Pete was a proven champion,” said former Longhorns running back Ted Koy, whose brother Ernie Jr. was a teammate of Lammons’ on the 1963 national championship team. “But off the field, he was a humble person and very likable.”

He starred as a two-way player at end for the Longhorns from 1963 to 1965 and was an All-SWC tight end in 1965.

“We used to kid him,” Ernie Koy Jr. said, “that he caught more passes for more yards in Super Bowl III than he did the whole time he was at Texas. He was just a good, solid football player. He always had a knack for anticipating what was coming up.”

Texas didn’t throw all that much back in the 1960s. Duke Carlisle completed just 33 passes for 416 yards and a single touchdown in 1963 in Lammons’ first season. But the end was a big target for quarterback Marvin Kristynik the next two years. He was the Longhorns’ leading receiver in 1964 with 13 receptions for 204 yards and a score and again in 1965 when he doubled his workload with 27 catches for 405 yards and four touchdowns.

Lammons played tight end for the Jets from 1966 through 1971, including when they won the first American Football League championship in 1968 and Super Bowl III that season when they shocked Baltimore 16-7 in Miami. In his NFL career from 1966 through 1972, Lammons totaled 185 receptions, 2,364 yards and 14 touchdowns.

Lammons was an avid fisherman his entire life and competed in tournaments for decades, often winning boats and other prizes. At least once or twice a month, he would drive to see Ernie Koy Jr. and fish for bass in his stocked ponds on Koy’s ranch outside Bellville.

“He was a great guy. A real people person,” Ernie Koy said of Lammons. “He was a friend to everybody. He used to kid me that I needed to feed the bass more to make them bigger. But it was always catch and release.”

Koy admired his buddy’s total recall of past football games they’d played in and people Lammons had briefly met years before. 

And did Lammons enjoy being a student?

“He tolerated class,” Koy said with a chuckle.

Pete’s nephew, Lance Lammons, was saddened by his uncle’s death but thought it was a fitting end for one of his favorite people in the world.

“He left the world doing exactly what he loved,” Lance said.

Several of Lammons’ sports memorabilia items, including his 1963 national championship ring and his Super Bowl III ring, will be donated to Jacksonville High School, where he starred for the legendary Bum Phillips before playing for Texas.

“He wore his rings every day,” Lance said. “They’re fantastic. When I was a little kid, that was all I could see (when he looked at him). I imagined them being on my finger.”

Lammons also gave his nephew a Super Bowl III jersey that he wore in the historic game, and Lance keeps it in a shadow box in his Montgomery home.

In addition, Lance was given a 1970 Green Bay Packers game ball that was signed by the entire team, including quarterback Bart Starr. Lammons finished his NFL career as a Packer.

Lammons was one of a contingent of Longhorns players who were drafted and signed by the Jets, at least in part because the father of fellow Longhorns end George Sauer Jr. was that NFL’s team director of personnel.

Lammons was selected in the eighth round of the Jets’ 1966 AFL draft and joined other college teammates such as defensive back Jim Hudson and tackle John Elliott. There in New York he played for the legendary Weeb Ewbank, much as he had for equally prominent coaches Darrell Royal at Texas and Phillips at Jacksonville.

Billy Dale, a running back on the Longhorns’ 1969 national championship team, remembered that one UT coach described Lammons as having “a sweet smile and a mean disposition.”

It was ironic that Lammons and his Longhorns beat Joe Namath and undefeated, No. 1 Alabama in the first Orange Bowl played at night to cap the 1964 season, a game in which Lammons twice intercepted and twice sacked the Crimson Tide quarterback. The two would later team up to beat the Colts with a victory that Namath famously guaranteed during Super Bowl week.

The Jets, 18-point underdogs, never once considered it an upset.

Three days before Namath’s guarantee at the Miami Touchdown Club that the Jets would topple the supposedly unbeatable Colts, it was Lammons who told Ewbank and his staff that they needed to stop showing the players game film of Baltimore.

“My uncle told the coaches to stop showing them film because they were going to get overconfident,” Lance recounted. “It’s funny. Stress was not something he was familiar with.”

It was Sauer who keyed the Super Bowl win with eight catches for 133 yards from MVP Namath, but Lammons had terrific performances in the playoffs, including the AFL championship game against Oakland, to get the Jets to the ultimate game.

“I think my uncle had like two catches for 19 yards,” Lance said, “but both were third-down conversions for first downs to keep drives going.

“My uncle was a giant teddy bear. It was awesome to be around him. He was a second father to me.”

Pete Lammons, Jr.

FacebookTwitterreddit

Pete Lammons, Jr. was born in Crockett, TX. and graduated from Jacksonville High School where he began displaying his athletic abilities in football and baseball. He was not sure which direction to take his career until he was recruited to play football at University of Texas. The decision was made…football it was. This turned out to be the best decision of his life.
As University of Texas Longhorns’ leading receiver in 1964 (13 receptions, 204 yards) and 1965 (27-405), Lammons earned consensus first-team All-Southwest Conference honors in 1965. He caught seven passes for 97 yards in 1963 as he helped UT to an 11-0 record and the Longhorns’ first National Championship. In 1964, Texas went 10-1 and finished ranked No. 5 nationally, while Lammons and the Longhorns capped that year with a 21-17 upset of top-ranked Alabama in the 1965 Orange Bowl. That Crimson Tide squad was quarterbacked by the legendary Joe Namath, who just a few years later would join forces with Lammons to pull off an upset in the 1969 Super Bowl III.
Inducted into the Texas Athletics Hall of Honor in 2002, Lammons played both ways at both tight end and defensive end for the Longhorns. He caught 47 passes for 706 yards and five touchdowns in his three varsity seasons. Those numbers still rank among the top 10 in the Longhorns all-time receiving records by a tight end, while his three touchdown catches versus Baylor in 1965 remain tied for the UT all-time best by a tight end.
Lammons was selected by the Cleveland Browns in the 1966 NFL Draft, as well as the New York Jets in that year’s AFL Draft and chose to go to the Big Apple. Two years later, he was tabbed All-Pro in 1968, earning a trip to the Pro Bowl in a year the Jets recorded the first winning season (8-5-1) in franchise history. The following year, the Jets had one of the most memorable seasons in pro football history as he was joined by former Longhorn teammates DL John Elliot, DB Jim Hudson and WR George Sauer in a World Championships season in 1969.
The AFL Champion New York Jets pulled off one of the NFL’s most storied upsets in Super Bowl history with a 16-7 score over the NFL champion Baltimore Colts. Lammons had a pair of catches in Super Bowl III, while his fellow Longhorn Sauer hauled in eight receptions for 133 yards. All four Longhorns were key contributors in winning the championship as Hudson registered an interception to go with three solo tackles, and Elliott contributed a trio of solo stops.
Lammons played six seasons (1966-71) with the Jets before finishing his playing days with the Green Bay Packers in 1972. In seven NFL seasons, he played in 95 games, starting 83, and had 185 receptions for 2,364 yards and 14 touchdowns.
Pete Lammons, the Football Legend, was how most people knew him. Children looked up to him and fans admired and respected him. But there was also a very “human” side to Pete Lammons which revealed itself through his easy going personality, kind heart and witty demeanor. He was never boastful, but never hesitated to enter into conversation to talk about the football glory days. Showing off his UT Championship ring and his Super Bowl III ring was perhaps his favorite pastime.
His interest in the game never wavered. It seems he remembered every play of every game he played and the date it was played. Watching football with Legend Pete Lammons never evolved into a relaxing afternoon, but more of a lesson about the game and scoffing at referee calls. He had the ability to see everything happening on the field while many of us have a tendency to just watch the ball, but his keen sense of the game made it interesting to say the least.
As an experienced co-angler, the Toyota Series at Sam Rayburn Tournament marked the 57th career MLF tournament he competed in. Whether dropping a line in a pond or fishing in a tournament in East Texas, he was an avid fisherman who loved the comradery with his pals as much as the fishing.
The Lammons brothers, Frank, Mike and Pete, all graduates from Jacksonville High School, established a scholarship program and made donations to the Education Foundation every year for many, many years. It is a tradition that will be honored in Pete’s absence.
Lammons made friends easily and people were drawn to this soft-spoken man of great stature who always had a smile on his face. The loss of his faithful companion, Barister, his beloved Schnauzer, was considered one of the most difficult times in his life. That dog went everywhere Lammons went. He could never bring himself to get another dog after losing Barister because, in his words, “I don’t want to ever have to go through that again” referring to the painful loss of his little sidekick.
His friendly, easy going personality enabled him to develop many lifelong friendships and in 2012, he met Jody Kautz Hart, the love of his life. They made a long-distance relationship work for 8 1/2 years. Even though they often said they had little-to-nothing in common, their relationship turned into a real-life love story that lasted until the day of his death and beyond. Possibly because Lammons never had children of his own, he grew to love her children and grandchildren, possibly as much as he loved his own family. He always referred to his friends as his “Pals” and kept in contact with some guys for over 50 years. They had a bond that could not be easily shaken or understood.
Pete Lammons, Jr. is survived in death by his brother Mike Lammons and wife Barbara and their daughters, Jennifer Holtermann and Merrian Mills; nephews Lance Lammons and wife Pamela and Todd Lammons; and the woman he loved, Jody Kautz Hart and her children and grandchildren and many, many friends whom he considered “family”.
He is preceded in death by his mother, Marie Lammons O’Keefe, father, Peter Spencer Lammons, Sr. and older brother, Frank Lammons. He is now in the arms of God and reunited with those who went before him.
Rest in peace, Pete. You will be missed by everyone whose life you touched.
The Funeral service will be held in his hometown of Jacksonville, Texas on May 15, 2021, at the First United Methodist Church at 10 a.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in memory of Pete Lammons to the Jacksonville Education Foundation online at http://jisdfoundation.org/donate or mailed to JEF (Jacksonville Education Foundation), PO Box 631, Jacksonville, Texas 75766 (please notate donation in memory of Pete Lammons).
