After reading some of the comments to this Mandel post from the other day, I had a thought: how useful would it be to compile a college football lexicon here at GTP? I’m not talking about some run-of-the-mill, done-it-before list of technical terms, but rather a set of words and phrases that we tend to use on a more practical, day-to-day basis here.
For example…
- Montana (n.) – Stewart Mandel’s state of mind.
- Coxian (adj.) – a “what, me worry?” on-field decision by a player who should know better that leads to disaster, such as “I kind of saw Norwood and was like, hmmm, but I decided to throw it anyway…”
- SEC speed (n.) – Jim Delany’s code word for the academically ineligible. (Or something worse.)
- GPOOE™ (n.) – 1. Urban Meyer’s pet name for Tim Tebow. 2. shorthand for Tebow worship.
- Directional kicking (n.) – a demon that possesses the soul of Jon Fabris.
- Corch (n.) – a term of endearment for Florida’s head man.
If there’s any interest in compiling a list of terms like this, I’d like it to be a collaborative effort with you guys. Anything you come up with that’s added to the GTP dictionary will be given proper attribution, of course. I’ll set up a permanent page for them that will be easy to access and link.
Let me know what you think about this in the comments.

UPDATE: I’m taking the comments in response as an unqualified “yes”. I hope to have the new page up in a couple of days or so.

This is an excellent idea. I have a few contributions at the moment:
Spurrious: the condition of being successful at one institution, but flamingly mediocre (or worse) at subsequent gigs. Ex: “Rich Rodriguez is totally Spurrious at Michigan.”
Fugulmer: The look of helpless frustration- usually involving puffing your cheeks out like a blowfish- that a coach dons when one of his players does something completely boneheaded.
Holtzing: The act of poor-mouthing your own team’s chances in an upcoming sporting event, despite the fact that the opponent is a rent-a-victim.
Sabanistan: a program with a culture of paranoia, media- and fan-unfrendliness, arrogance, rudeness, and general facism, all ‘justified’ as being in the name of ‘winning games’.
Miles-marker: an absolutely boneheaded game- and/or clock management decision, yet still managing to pull it off. Ex. “That decision to go for it on 4th-and-12 on their own 30 when there was still more than 4 minutes to play and they were only down by 3 was a total Miles-marker! I can’t believe they actually got the first down.”
Dooleyed: The condition of having to suppress your normal inclinations for the sake of social grace. Ex. “Man, we watched the UGA/UA game over at my inlaws; they’re big Tide fans, so I was Dooleyed.”
Orgeronic- the condition of being full of sound and fury, but signifying nothing. Ex. “That drunk guy at the party last night was Orgeronic– trying to pick a fight with an off-duty cop? TOTALLY Orgeronic.”
Kiffinated- first being hyper and obnoxious, only to later be chased away with your tail between your legs (usually the aftermath of somebody being Orgeronic).
Mullenigan- The act of bringing in either a rising or established coaching star to try to ‘revitalize’ a program that never was all that vital to begin with.
Meyering- equivocating or telling half-truths and even outright lies. “That coach was Meyering big-time; promising that QB he’d have ‘a shot’ at the NFL when they run a spread offense there? Total Meyering.”
Richtastic- being too optimistic and positive about a situation when a sober assessment would probably be more effective than wearing rose-colored glasses. “I’ve always thought that saying our players ‘handled a loss well’ was being Richtastic. I’d prefer it if they got really mad that they lost– maybe then they would WIN.”
That’s all I got for the moment. I’m sure my warped mind with come up with more later.

You may be on to something here. Although I’m thinking the term of art should be something like:
DisMayed (adj.) – to be the misplaced subject of Mark May’s lack of respect.
