Longtime University of Michigan Athletic Department physician Dr. Robert E. Anderson has died.
His son Kurt Anderson said his father, 80, died from pulmonary fibrosis.
Known fondly as "Doc A," Anderson was an Athletic Department team physician from 1967 to 1998 and faculty member in the Department of Internal Medicine during that time. He was director of Student Health Services at U-M from 1968 to 1980.
Anderson, who died early Thursday, is also survived by his wife, Jacquelyn, and two other children, Eric Anderson and Jill Anderson.
Jill Anderson said her father loved football.
"He was maize and blue through and through," she said.
Through the years, the family enjoyed years of sports memories and holiday trips to warmer places.
"We didn't have regular Christmases," Jill Anderson said. "It was, 'What bowl game are we going to?' "
Kurt Anderson said he wasn't sure what initially drew his father to sports medicine, but soon U-M athletes, coaches and staff became close to the family.
"Once he came to University of Michigan athletics, he realized what kind of a family it is," Kurt Anderson said.
Bob Thornbladh, who played football for U-M in the early '70s and then came back to be an assistant coach with the Wolverines, said Anderson not only looked after players, but also the football staff and their families.
"Dr. Anderson was always available," Thornbladh said. "His legacy was his availability, his healing and his caring. There was never an inconvenience, day or night. ... All of us considered him our personal physician."
Thornbladh said Anderson was part of a team of physicians about whom Bo Schembechler boasted to prize recruits.
"Bo valued him greatly and had great trust and confidence in him," Thornbladh said. "We used to tell people when we recruited them, 'You will get no finer medical care.' "
The job wasn't without risk. Anderson got some unexpected national exposure when he was run over on the sidelines by Auburn's Bo Jackson in the 1984 Sugar Bowl, Kurt Anderson said. The TV cameras captured him being taken off the field with a dislocated elbow.
Into the twitterverse it goes...

What are you saying Chicago? Are you implying that this sexual deviant doctor buddy of bo's was a competitive advantage for Michigan? Are you advocating for NCAA sanctions and removal of wins?
I'm down with that. Totally justified based on ncaa logic.
It was Joe’s name plus the fact that the BOT had close ties to The Second Mike that they needed to obscure that made them make sure any investigation was tightly controlled by the BOT. And since falling on the sword on behalf of PSu satiated the masses and made sure no one looked behind the curtain, that’s what we got.
Back to this request by the OAG...
One reason why Michigan may not be so eager to cooperate with the OAG and waive privilege is because the investigation may implicate others... I mean, Dr. Gerald O'Connor worked alongside Dr. Handerson for 3 decades. "HE HAD TO KNOW."
Dr. Gerald O'Connor
Dr. Gerald O'Connor, head team physician for U-M athletics for 40 years and an early leader in sports medicine, died May 5 due to complications of injuries sustained in a fall the previous week. He was 79.
(File photo by U-M Photo Services)
He had been involved with the U-M Medical Center since arriving in Ann Arbor as an intern in 1953. After completing his orthopaedic surgery training, he joined the clinical faculty and maintained a busy practice at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital.
O'Connor was instrumental in the development of MedSport—the U-M Sports Medicine Program—in 1986 and served as medical director until his retirement in 2000. He also was an associate professor emeritus in the Department of Surgery.
A native of Burbank, S.D., O'Connor had been the Michigan team physician and orthopaedic surgeon since 1964. He worked with four different football head coaches, starting with Bump Elliott in 1964, then Bo Schembechler, Gary Moeller and Lloyd Carr.
O'Connor traveled with the football program to every bowl game since 1965 (32 games, including 15 Rose Bowls), more than any other member of the U-M staff, past or present. The only bowl trips in the history of the University he did not attend in an official capacity were the 1902, 1948 and 1951 Rose Bowls.
He was a well-respected member of the sports medicine field and was president of the American Orthopedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) in 1983. The AOSSM presented O'Connor with the Mr. Sports Medicine Award in 1998. He was active in postgraduate education in sports medicine and gave numerous presentations on the diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries.
O'Connor received the President's Challenge Award from the National Athletic Trainers' Association in 1988.
O'Connor also was active within the American Quarter Horse industry. The Michigan Quarter Horse Association (MQHA) created a scholarship to recognize and honor him for his work supporting youth as both the American Quarter Horse Association and MQHA past president.
He also was honored by the 'M' Club of Greater Detroit, along with former team physician Dr. Robert Anderson, with the Distinguished Alumni Service Award at the annual football bust.
He earned his bachelor of science from Loras College in Iowa in 1949 and his medical degree from Creighton University in Nebraska in 1953.
O'Connor is survived by his wife, Margaret, nine children, and their grandchildren.

So the Michigan BOT is kind of taking the same route as the PSU BOT, just at Michigan they don't have a living scapegoat.

This is great. Michigan AG is a UM grad. Great legal precedent. So if you do something wrong, just refuse to cooperate with the police and investigators, and they will have to close up their notepad and be like, "We can't investigate this guy. He won't cooperate with us." Or make a demand (waive all privileges, including the attorney-client privilege) you are sure they won't do.

"I will not investigate the school I went to unless they do something no school ever would"
Is this a parody account?
So do all criminals get the same deal - if they don;t cooperate they get a pass...
Nessel: UofM if you don’t waive all of your rights we won’t investigate you!
UofM: Uhh, ok. Thanks?

Unfortunately, all that MSU, OSU, UM, Baylor and the rest have done is put the nail in PSU's coffin when it comes to our reputation. Instead of people ever thinking, "nobody at Penn State did anything wrong" the narrative is now "It happens everywhere. Penn State and Joe just got caught first."
I saw this yesterday. What a joke. I hope the AG got trashed by the media folk in attendance.
Let me try it again - in light of the widespread, some might say rampant, sexual abuse that has come to light on other university campuses, I believe the general public, as a whole, will never accept that fact that Penn State did not cover up Sandusky's accused actions in order to protect the reputation of its football team. Rather, because sexual abuse of college students by "trusted" members of the university community now seems pervasive, the dumbass public will assume it also must have happened at Penn State, too.

This is SOP for places (Tuscaloosa, Columbus, etc.) who aren’t looking to vilify/ruin the cash cows/athletic programs in their communities. It is the opposite of State College for better or worse.
When a survivor of @UMich Dr. Anderson calls the hotline they are speaking to lawyers who represented Polanski and Epstein.
The results of their "independent investigation" should be interesting.
Culture.
Another man has alleged he was sexually assaulted during medical examinations by the late University of Michigan Dr. Robert E. Anderson — and he told two UM officials but they laughed at him, according to a lawsuit filed Sunday.
"After reporting Dr. Anderson this 'odd' or 'weird' conduct to Coach Harvey and Coach Warhurst, plaintiff further asked to go to another physician so he could get medical assistance for his injury(s)," the suit said. "Both Coach Harvey and Coach Warhurst laughed at plaintiff’s complaint and refused to send him to a different physician."

So at Michigan, everything the media wanted to be true about the Sandusky case is true in Ann Arbor, but it'll get 1/10th the attention
^^ From the above link:
Anderson was such a key member of the athletic department that he's the focus of a section in the annual University of Michigan Student-Athlete Exit Interview. The Free Press reviewed a copy of the report at the Bentley Historical Library.
A summary of the interviews with 39 athletes from 17 different sports praises another athletic department doctor but then reports: "Dr. Anderson, a little senile, diagnosis wrong, never confident with his conclusions."
Male athletes ranked the quality of the physicians — three are mentioned in the report — lower than female athletes did. Men, just 28% of them, said the overall quality of physicians was excellent, while 38% of women did. Women also gave the doctors, including Anderson, better grades than men did in professionalism, with 74% of women giving an excellent or very good score. Only 56% of men gave the same scores.
One athlete, whose name isn't included — reported preferring "self-treatment rather than seeing Dr. Anderson again."

Makes ya wonder how @DesmondHoward rated his annual rectal and penile manipulation sessions with Dr. Robert E. Anderson. Did he give two thumbs up, or did he complain without anyone doing anything to stop this monster from abusing every athlete on campus.
Odd ending to the freep.com article:
“Canham and Schembechler are credited most often for building the Block M brand into a marketing powerhouse, starting in the late '60s.”
More um arrogance, even in the face of tragedy and disgrace.
