Somewhat awkward title, but it's the best I could do ...
Very touching (IMO) article on how Greg Robinson's daughter rehabbed at UMich with help from Barwis and, in a different way, Craig Roh:

with that photo he used.
This one looks particularly vacant about the eyes. Sort of zombie-like, with the brain gone.
The juxtaposition with the article he links to is sort of unfortunate.

You're a better man than I, Don. I went the more visceral route and wondered which of the model's gaps Roh was filling.
Great Article...
This is an awesome story, and thanks for sharing this. It is another example of the great people that participate in and surround this program, going above the call to improve the lives of others, even if it is simply being a friend, as Roh was here. Stories like this make me all the more proud of this program, and all the more sad when stand-up people like Roh play their last game here.

I thought the article was
I thought the article was touching yes, and a great story. I'm happy for Robinson's daughter and her recovery but the article seems pretty disorganized and odd. It focuses on Roh and Robinson's friendship but...they haven't spoken in almost two years. Almost like Rothstein was reaching for a story (not that it would be totally out of character for him). But hey, he's got to keep up with Chantel Jennings who does a pretty fantastic job on these pieces.
I thought it was odd as well
Seems to me if they were such good friends, and he played such an important role in her recovery, he would have been invited to her wedding. Instead, they haven't spoken since GERG's firing. Nice article, but strange.

Lack of communication
Robinson and Lindsay both said they have not spoken with Roh since that day because they worried about it being awkward, but want to reconnect after his college career ends following the Outback Bowl, which will be Roh's 51st consecutive start at Michigan. Roh, too, wants to hear from them.
Considering the situation with the coaching change and the attitudes of many [most?] about Gerg's legacy, it's not surprising they felt communication would be awkward. It may have been partly out of respect for Roh-- not putting him in the position of seeming disloyal to his new coaches. All parties say they want to reconnect now that Roh's Michigan football career is over.
Does anyone remember ever hearing anything about Robinson's daughter's situation when it was happening? I certainly don't. Odd that it took this long.
Good for Roh for serving a
Good for Roh for serving a role in the young lady's recovery. He was one of many, I'm sure. Still, the point is Roh could have played no role, but he chose to reach out and participate. That's the mark of a good man. (If my memory serves, Roh is also a religious man ... and to some degree his commitment to that likely played a role.)

She is a Wonderful Young Lady
I used to visit with them back when Greg was coaching at UCLA. Even took them out to ice cream a couple of times when they would visit balboa island. Great family.

And I didn't remember this office being so dusty! It has gotten very dusty in here all of a sudden.
Thanks for posting.
Your title's not nearly as awkward as Magnus's, with that photo he used.
And it is a great story. Thanks for posting.
