Here it is folks. We've found our calling. In addition to giving you the dose of college football opinion, information and analysis that you so desperately crave we realized that you need more.
What you need, what you crave is a one stop resource for all things football. From the questions we field through email and twitter it is clear that folks have an unquenchable thirst for knowledge of the gridiron and here at ITB we are a mere servant of the people.
That means we're going to work to give you what you want, a dose of college football vernacular that you may read other places but you'll only see defined here at In The Bleachers. We'll start small and build as we go and you'll be a part of this exciting ride as we work to create the interweb's first and only Football Lexicon.
Sure there are other glossaries, indices and even term defining websites but they skimp on the slang. They pass on the crass and they omit the hate-fodder that makes college football great. Not here folks, we're putting our heart and soul into creating a one stop shop for all things college football.
We'll need your help folks so be sure to send your suggestions, ideas, alternate definitions as well as any and every tip you can give. Email them in to InTheBleachers (AT) GMail (DOT) Com.

Christmas - Not December 25th. We know about the whole Jesus birthday thing but as it stands now Christmas is a retail holiday used to get every store in the mall into the black. Christmas for college football fans comes in two waves. First is the start of the season which signifies the end of a long hot summer of nothingness. Second comes the bowl season with games on random days, at random times and featuring random teams. Love the bowls or hate the bowls the fact is that Wyoming vs Fresno State game in late December will be on the tube because it is a reason to drink beer and argue.
Dick-Rod - Also known as Rich Rodriguez the less than lovable coach of the Michigan Wolverines. While thought to be an offensive genius during his time at Clemson and West Virginia, Dick-Rod has sullied his good name during the Michigan stint.

Riots - the way folks celebrate major wins in college football towns. Most notoriously those of the West "By God" Virginia sect who participate in couch burning, moonshine dranking and an overall reckless destruction of all things in their own town.
*also the way Michigan State likes to party after they're insulted.
