Get the jailbait temperatures mug.A region of the United States covering the geographic southern United States, or roughly the area south of the 37th or 38th parallels, north latitude.
Not to be confused with the Bible Belt, the Sun Belt extends beyond the states traditionally associated with the deep south (Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee, and the Carolinas), and extends west through the warmer climes of the continental U.S. (Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Florida, Colorado, Utah, Oklahoma, Nevada, extending as far north as Virginia).
The Sun Belt has seen substantial population growth in recent decades, fueled by milder winters, coupled with the availability and affordability of air conditioning. In addition, the latter half of the 20th century has seen a surge in retiring baby boomers migrating domestically, as well as the influx of immigrants, both legal and illegal, into this region.
One of the most densely populated areas for professional sports in the U.S., the college powerhouse SEC has existed there for over 75 years, with the population boom also adding to the creation of the eponymous Sun Belt Conference (est. 1976) and the currently higher profile Conference USA (est. 1995). All three conferences exist entirely within this region.

Tony: Man, it's too crowded out here in New York, I don't even have room to think.
Andrea: I know it ain't for everyone, but my cousins moved down to the Sun Belt and they couldn't be happier.
Tony: Sun Belt? Is that like the Bible Belt?
Andrea: Naw, the Bible Belt is mostly conservative country folk. The urban population is exploding down there with new liberal voters, and Obama even carried Houston in 2008, not to mention all of New Mexico.

Get the Sun Belt mug.The 29th president of the United States (1921-1923), widely considered to be the worst President of all time, until soundly replaced in this title by George W. Bush (2001-2009).
Harding was from humble roots in the midwest, spoke in a a simple country manner, promised government jobs to his friends, had an administration largely associated with corruption, had a vice president who didn't say much, was immensely popular when he was elected before seeing his popularity nosedive until it was almost non-existent. In short, the only differences between Harding and the junior Bush was that Bush served 8 years to Harding's 2, and Harding never sent a single American soldier overseas to die.
Harding was not, in fact, a negro (this rumor was started by his oppositon prior to the 1920 election), though he was the first President elected after the passing of the 19th Amendment (the amendment that allowed women to vote). Unlike the junior Bush, Harding actually succeeded an *un*popular President, in that Woodrow Wilson won re-election by promising not to get involved in World War I, then entered it anyway. Another departue from Bush was the sheer mediocrity of his successor, Calvin Coolidge, who was famous for spending most of his eight years at the golf course.
The G does not, in fact, stand for Gangster.

Moonshine Matt: Slow your roll, Henry, my old chum. If you'll notice, we do appear to be playing Boise State next month, and I daresay they scare the bejeezus right out of my nethers. Whilst the bottom portion of the WAC scares no one, the top half is capable of toppling even the mightest of egos, nawmsayin'?

Get the WAC mug.It's like that thing, where you accidentally knock your mouse off your desk, and rather than reach down to get it, you just grab the cable and reel it back up, hand over hand.
Tony was too fat and lazy to set his laptop aside, so just grabbed the cable on the back and did some mouse fishing.

Get the mouse fishing mug.A term invented by American sports-writers, used within college sports.
"Mid-Major" was originally used because no one had a good term to describe a college or conference less powerful than the BCS college/conferences, but more powerful than the next level down. The Division I-A non-BCS conferences, as of 2007, are the Mountain West, Conference USA, MAC, WAC and Sun Belt.
Sports writers and fans alike often express distase for the term, but no one has been able to come up with anything better yet.

1) The mid-major conferences had a good year in 2006, when Boise State upset Oklahoma in their bowl game.
2) Why does Michigan keep scheduling those mid-majors early in the season? Schedule a real team, already!
