It's been noted that Darius kind of looks like a young Obama. How about "the President"? He certainly runs the show for us. We had "General" Grant awhile back; now maybe we can move up a notch.
Any others? Anything to prevent "Butterfly" from catching on...
(Disclaimer: this is not intended to be any kind of political commentary.)

How about
How about "Phillip".

I like
"Darius"...
what about
D-MO
I love Blue like a fat kid loves food...
D-Mo
D-Mo seems like the natural choice. It's what I've been calling him without resorting to any poll-taking on the issue.
"Nowhere is there a better university, in any way, than this Michigan of ours."
I'm jumping on the D-Mo
I'm jumping on the D-Mo wagon.

I think one of the announcers
I think one of the announcers threw Zach Morris out there at one point. "Preppy?"
"There was a time I could have been mistaken for Burt Reynolds. I had a moustache and so did he. But he was the number one star in the world, so there wasn't really much confusion."
How about "The Cat"?
How about "The Cat". He seems kind of finnicky.
How about "Whiskers"
Both because he is curious like a cat and because he's a worrier

It's a simple question,

Darius kind of looks like a young Obama
Uh, I suppose. They're both black, afterall. And male. And human.
Every time an MGoBoard poster complains about a thread topic, God kills a baby panda.
Exactly
If we start calling Morris "The President" we'll have to be consistent and refer to Denard as "Weezy"
Shoulda, Coulda, Woulda
Yeah... I mean if anything
Yeah... I mean if anything Horford looks WAY more like a young Obama, and I actually thought this before the season started. I think it might be the ears and the Big House in the background.:
Touchdown Michigan!
Wow, I definitely see it in
Wow, I definitely see it in the eyes.
Leave out the dreads and...
Denard could be called "Desmond"
"I'm here with my friend, the zombie, Johnathon. Michigan is in the Final Four for the first time in 20 years, what do you think?"
"I like turtles."
Not to get political
but I think I heard from one of my aunts (MSU fan, but that's unrelated right?) that Obama might not be human and has yet to produce a human birth certificate.
Or something just as insane, I can't keep track anymore
Mike Martin told me he loves me. My life is quite possibly complete.

Hey Guys!
What about 'The Butterfly'!
Is be happy to call him 1st
Is be happy to call him 1st team all B1G
I'd be happy calling him
I'd be happy calling him first time all big ten, but I'm not using their really terrible logo or abbreviation.
What did...
the logo abbreviation ever do to you?
HAIL.
There's only one choice
And that choice is "The Emperor." As in:
Sounds good...
"Darius the Great, was the third "king of kings" (emperor) of the Achaemenid Empire. Darius held the empire at its peak, then including Egypt, Balochistan, and parts of Greece. The decay and downfall of the empire commenced with his death and the coronation of his son, Xerxes I."
I like the sound of that. The empire of Michigan basketball will last until his death, at which point his son will become head coach. I'll happily take sixty or so years of Michigan owning in basketball followed by a period of down years.
Very slight
Very slight problem...
His son was Xerxes, who many of you may remember from this movie:

So the 60 year reign= good. The son who takes over and gets embarrassed by some Spartans. Well that doesn't work out well

In other nickname related news, can we call Denard something other than Shoelace? I'm getting sick of hearing it.

I see what you mean; however,
I see what you mean; however, that's a nickname Denard grew up with. It's not like a fanbase constructed nickname.
All that said, I think Denard is an awesome enough name that he doesn't need a nickname. I'm willing to bet the Shoelace thing slows down until he makes his first start in the NFL... then it'll all come back with a vengeance.
Touchdown Michigan!

Emperor
Simultaneous empires
Did not the Holy Roman Empire and the Mongol Empire, at one time, occupy different lands within the same Earth? Can it therefore not be said that two emperors might occupy different sports within the same university?
Space Emperor (of Space) Zoltan the Inconceivable's empire ends, ipso facto, where the Earth's atmosphere begins. Can not Emperor Darius's lands therefore peaceably occupy all areas below the atmosphere?
Touche
Yikes.
I didn't even think about that.
I nominate Dhani "The Diplomat" Jones* to broker an appropriate treaty.
