Trey Burke deserves a nickname
Here are my suggestions (which, for the literal-minded, are not necessarily meant to be taken seriously - you've been warned):
Nails
Trey of Ann Arbor, the Never-Squeamish
Blue Velvet
The Mulholland Driver
Lefty
The Death Dealer - of Death
Poncho
Baron von Quicksilver
Jelly Roll Morton
Ralph Biggum
Quetzalcoatl, Jr.
Diamond Joe
Vice Duke Heinrich Wilhelm Laggenthorpe III, the Destroyer of Dreams
Leadbelly
Spartan Killer
The Impressively Mature Young Man
Justice Brandeis
---Any additions?

I hear "Impressively Mature Young Man" at least 50 times a game. Leaning on that one.
January 18th, 2012 at 11:37 AM ^
The Butterfly? Or is that one taken?
January 18th, 2012 at 11:42 AM ^
Let Doyle come up with one, he'll no doubt do it.
January 18th, 2012 at 12:04 PM ^
We can't just keep naming a player and giving them a nickname. That's not how that is supposed to work. They are suposed to come natural or stem from an announcer saying something spur of the moment that he would normally be embarrassed to say.
January 18th, 2012 at 4:12 PM ^
Yeah, it can be a fun creative exercise, but I think the best nicknames usually evolve organically.
January 18th, 2012 at 11:37 AM ^
Tim Doyle suggests New Butterfly
January 18th, 2012 at 11:38 AM ^
Trey-mendous
Trey-fecta
Trips to Win
January 18th, 2012 at 11:43 AM ^
It has to be Trey-mendous.
This is Michigan fergodsakes
And even though it's a football reference for a basketball nickname.... we know that Denard and Roundtree would approve
January 18th, 2012 at 11:44 AM ^
I second your motion...All In for Trey-mendous???
January 18th, 2012 at 11:56 AM ^
So all in favor say "Aye"
January 18th, 2012 at 11:58 AM ^
I like Trey.
January 18th, 2012 at 1:16 PM ^
His real name is perfect!
January 18th, 2012 at 1:00 PM ^
"Got Them the Fuck Off His Court" Burke.
January 18th, 2012 at 1:21 PM ^
3 in a row, baby!!!
Trey in a row!
January 18th, 2012 at 12:22 PM ^
doesn't "Trey" already mean three?
January 18th, 2012 at 11:38 AM ^
"Vice Duke Heinrich Wilhelm Laggenthorpe III, the Destroyer of Dreams", except maybe we should add more words to it
January 18th, 2012 at 11:55 AM ^
Vice Duke Heinrich Johan Wilhelm Hans-Peter Gerhart Franz Von Laggenthorpe III, the Destroyer of Dreams
What kind of lame Vice Duke would only have three names, after all...
January 18th, 2012 at 11:40 AM ^
T-Bone

Coco the Monkey?
January 18th, 2012 at 1:20 PM ^
Gammey?
January 18th, 2012 at 8:32 PM ^
Your gammy's dead!
January 18th, 2012 at 11:40 AM ^
You might be able to come up with something off that. (I am assuming that Trey is already a nickname).
January 18th, 2012 at 11:42 AM ^
I know . . . after that 3-pointer last night from beyond NBA range, how about "Trey"?
January 18th, 2012 at 11:42 AM ^
Alfonso Clark Burke III already has a nickname. It is Trey.
January 18th, 2012 at 11:46 AM ^
Before I had to.
January 18th, 2012 at 12:16 PM ^
just meant to be fun on a day after a great victory. There is no need for alarm.
January 18th, 2012 at 12:37 PM ^
Not alarmed at all. I was just putting my suggestion in.
January 18th, 2012 at 12:44 PM ^
The Fonz!
January 18th, 2012 at 4:02 PM ^
Thank you for saying that, I was just about to make this exact statement.

January 18th, 2012 at 11:45 AM ^
I don't know, with his shooting, and "Trey" already being a nickname (Alfonso Clark Burke III), I think he's set...and can u really come up with something shorter AND cooler than Trey
January 18th, 2012 at 11:47 AM ^
The Fonz
January 18th, 2012 at 4:04 PM ^
Redundant!!! someone already made this point.
January 18th, 2012 at 11:45 AM ^
SILK.
That is all.
January 18th, 2012 at 11:48 AM ^
I really dont think you need another nickname.
On a side note, those who haven't voted for the maize rage as the "Best Student Section in the Country" need to watch this

Student section with 'Nard and Tree is better than any without. Just saying...
January 18th, 2012 at 11:47 AM ^
