Darius Morris on "The Butterfly"

Although this was assumed, the truth finally came out of Darius Morris after the game on Saturday. I was outside the locker room talking to a few players after the game and after waiting a while I finally got to talk to Darius. I asked him what he thought about the nickname BTN gave him: the Butterfly, he gave me the same answer that he repeats over and over in interviews but after a slight pause he admitted what he really thinks of the nickname "I'm just honored that they gave me a nickname........ but I wish they'd change it." I know this was assumed but I found it amusing that he admitted it. And BTW For those of you who didn't know (idk if they mentioned it on TV or not) he played with "flu-like" symptoms on Saturday. I was suprised when he told me because he still played pretty well.

Anyway, I thought this stuff was interesting. GO BLUE!!!! Beat Illinois!

UMfan. GO BLUE

I put up a tough front, but deep down I just want to be held.

This is on Darius now. He should take initiative and do something like order T-Bone steaks for Doyle and his whole crew and profess his love for T-Bones every chance he gets.

Darius just needs to be careful that his plan doesn't backfire and lead to this.

Someone needs to get Tim Doyle's cell number to Darius.

Also, I think big10football negs every single mgoboard topic.  It seems whenever I click on a thread and it has a lone neg, it is always that guy.

Also also, I would avoid the self-posbang.

Wow, yeah.  I didn't realize how right I was.

My 6 year old daughter hates that nickname or maybe it's just Doyle's insistance on using it in every sentence.  

Everytime Doyle is on B10 Network she says, "Not the Butterfly guy again!  Make him stop"

Seems like someone from the Athletic Dept should place a call to the BTN and politely suggest alternate nicknames.  These things can be finessed and the BTN should be telling Doyle that his nickname is not exactly one that a player would EVER like.

How about the pottymouth?  At least it is more relevant than the butterfly.

And when we play as a team, when the old season is over, you and I know, it's gonna be Michigan again, Michigan

Someone (it may have been here; I can't remember) proposed that his nickname become "The Monarch."  That would work.  Doyle could keep his dumb analogy without resorting to an emasculating nickname, and everyone else could call him that because of his floor leadership.  Plus, there's some alliteration: Darius "The Monarch" Morris.

I propose that a nickname shouldn't be force fed by a fairly weak TV guy who repeats it endlessly in hopes that someone else might actually pick it up.  Maybe if he calls Keith Appling the "Ladybug", then it'd be all good.  Embarrassing nicknames for all!

It's grown on me, just like Doyle's pathetic mustache-type substance for OSu's undefeated season. The nickname needs to die a horrible death.
