Now that is a true Michigan fan dog's name. Unfortunately, the name is the easy part. Getting the dog to watch the game with you is the impossible part. Every dog I've had hides when the Michigan game is on.
Have you told the dog that
Have you told the dog that GERG is gone yet?

I'm awesome. Get over it
Our labs name is
Our labs name is Schemey...after Bo of course. As others have said stay away from naming them Bo as it creates confusion in its similarities to "No," and personally I feel it's unfair to your new family member. I've also heard to stick with names that are no more than two syllables as it helps with training.
Here's some prior board posts on the topic that may help as well.

Stole my name! My fiance and I have already discussed this, and the first dog we get will be called Schemey, followed by either Brady or Mr. Hoke and then Lloyd. It's a wonderful thing.

I bought a dog last December
I bought a dog last December and went through a similar process. The classic, and probably far too obvious, is Bo. After thinking about it a whole I narrowed it down to players that made an impact while I was at school. In conclusion, I named my dog Woodley
You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is never get into a land war with Asia. But only slightly less well known is this: never go in against a Sicilian, when death is on the line!

Except for the other thing. That hurts the most. But the lack of respect hurts the second most.

My 1 year old daughter is named Maisey.. I talked mom into the name, but mom got to spell it how she liked.
Saddened
Saddened by the fact that i cannot steal Woodley. That is a fine name sir... fine name

I think it's a humongous Rottie mix.
I'm proud to say my Woodley
I'm proud to say my Woodley is a Chinese shar pei. I recommend everyone look up a picture of one in case you've never seen one.

A wise man once said
"It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog". I assume your sharpei is a total badass.
/this post references figuative fights and figurative dogs. I in no way, shape or form endorse actual dog fighting. See the picture of my 38lb lab mix below.

I tried to name my shar pei
I tried to name my shar pei A-Train. But her being female and being out voted by the wife and daughter, I now have Buttercup. She wears a pink diamond studded collar. I fought for Victoria so it would be close to Victors, but lost that too. but she does high five after Michigan scores. If I give her a treat.

i named our dog Maddie
i named our dog Maddie Stafford. She is a female American Staffordshire Terrier. I am a huge Michigan sports fan (Lions, duh) and my girlfriend is a UGA grad. We were both happy with the name.
But I was really wanting a boy to name him Charles Woodson.
I do like Henne and Shoelace as options for you though.
Brady, fergodsakes!
Already picked out for MY next Golden Retriever, but I am in a giving mood and will let you use it... but just this one time!

but I have a friend who has a dog named Rodriguez... and yes, he is named after the ex-head coach.

Enormous potential...
...hard working, wears his heart on his sleeve, but somehow doesn't quite live up to expectations. Still, your friend must love him.
As a matter of fact I like beer.

My dog will be named Barkley after Charles Barkley or because dogs bark, whichever story I choose.

Went through
the same thing 4 years ago with my Lab/Pittbull mix. I'm also a hunter and ended up picking Gunner. But the two names we were down to were Gunner and Runyan. I don't know but it seemed like a cool name for a dog but since my wife didn't know who he was she voted for Gunner.

Name your dog "Hail" and enjoy spending the next decade and change shouting the words to the fight song out your backyard door and your kids yelling "Hail" around the house.

Brady
My Aunt & Uncle named their dog Brady, primarily for Tom, but works for Hoke too. I guess "Gorgeous Al" might work.
