Remembering the Space Cowboy

Posted May 24, 2012
Big. Physical. Tough as nails. A fun-loving party animal. An awesome teammate and devoted friend. These are just a few of the words that have been used to describe former star UNC running back Mike Voight, who died Wednesday of a heart attack in his home in Virginia at the way-too-young age of 58. In the 'three yards and a cloud of dust,' era, Voight was more 'five yards and a couple of cracked heads' type of guy. (Tar Heel Illustrated)
