Michael Ungar’s wife has passed away.

TLSN received the following notice from Drew Darby “Billy…
One of my colleagues contacted me to see if Longhorn Nation can get word of the situation with Michael Unger’s family….so I thought of you. Appreciate the job you are doing, and I wish you the best!”

Best and Hook Em!
Drew Darby

Michael played for the Horns in the early 2000s, and his wife has unexpectantly passed away.

BILL LITTLE COMMENTARY: A NEW ROYAL DAY

Nov. 11, 2012

Part of Bill Little’s comments about Bobby Lackey follows:

Bill Little, Texas Media Relations

Lackey……, remembers the time when he decided to run a quarterback “bootleg” and scored a touchdown on the play. After the game, Royal asked him to come to his office the next day.

“That was a good play,” Darrell had said. “But don’t do that again…it is not in our playbook.”

Soon, however, Lackey said the play was incorporated into the Longhorns’ regular attack.

Lackey, a three-year starter at quarterback and punter for Weslaco, earned all-state honors in 1955 after leading the Panthers to a 13-0 mark before a 20-7 state semifinal loss to Hillsboro. He also played in the THSCA All-Star Game. Lackey went on to play at Texas, where he quarterbacked the Longhorns to a share of the 1959 SWC title (coach Darrell Royal’s first at UT) and led the team in scoring in both 1958 and 1959. He also became the first UT player on the cover of SPORTS ILLUSTRATED (Nov. 9, 1959) when he was featured walking up the tunnel at the Cotton Bowl after a win over Oklahoma.

The link to Bob’s celebration of life is listed below. For expediency, I activated the link even though the article is a work in process and very disjointed. There will be photos and a completed celebration of Bobby’s life later today. Respectfully, Billy Dale
