Coyote Nunley - Former Alabama football player who may or may not have existed.  As legend has it, he worked on a cabbage truck
 
Don't Eat the Cheese - The media will build player/team up, only to tear them down.  Much like setting cheese in a mouse trap, only to snap the head off the rodent. Don't eat the cheese when the media is building you up.
 
Drinking the Kool-Aid - Buying into something before it is reality

 

Earth Day- When Good Coaches have to bring Good Teams back down to Earth
 
Franing It Up - This phrase is used when the head coach of a team appears to be headed for another job and his team plays as if that coach has been a bit pre-occupied with contract negotiations. This is in reference to the reports of Alabama's practice for the 2002 Iron Bowl while Coach Fran had one foot in Tuscaloosa and one foot in College Station.

In the Barrel- Dunaway, on rare occasions, can be difficult to please. During that rare occurance, a member of the show will find that much of what they have done that day is "not up to Mr. Dunaway's standards". That show member is deemed to be spending the day "in the barrel".

Jam Packed Phone Lines - A common occurrence on the show. It's the moment when all of the phone lines have a caller on hold waiting to talk to the guys. Don't be discouraged when you hear the phrase, Jim loves to work through the callers quickly
 
Jim or Not - This is a Dunaway original game in which the caller has to determine whether Jim is answering a question truthfully or making things up off the top of his head. Frequently the guys will play the game during the course of the show when Jim says something so outrageous that they both feel as though he is trying to lead them astray.

 

Jockulation- When sports teams or players are fighting for position on the field or in the standings

Power Ballad Friday - An tradition dating back to the old D&B days...started in the first year of the show.  Jim has a HUGE love of 80's Big Hair Bands.  The first Friday after the Final 4 to the last Friday before the start of the College Football Season, we play Big Hair Band Power Ballads as bump music.
 
Rebel Fox - The first girl to catch the eye of young Jim Dunaway. It is remembered as one of the great romances of the Keystone community of Alabaster.

The House in Tuscany -  This is a reference to a classic line from Seinfeld.  "The Maestro" Bob Cobb tells Jerry there are no houses in Tuscany and he should not try to find one.  Jeffery from Trussville coined this phrase during the Auburn coaching search of 2008.  When Dunaway told Auburn fans what coaches would not be interested in coaching the Tigers, it was deemed by Jeffery that  "Auburn is Auburn, they could never get a house in Tuscany."  Any program/franchise that has little history and starts to win is "proving there are houses in Tuscany".

 

The Lower Jim - This is Dunaway's "man room" at his new home. It is a windowless room with three televisions and pennants from each SEC team. The room also has easy access to a refrigerator for beverage replenishment and a restroom for beverage disposal.
