Oklahoma State Wrestling: Champions Forever (Just Don't Mention Gymnastics)
Let's face it, college athletics are all about bragging rights. You wear your team's colors with pride, you paint your face in ridiculous patterns (looking at you, Iowa), and you spend an unhealthy amount of time arguing with your friends about whose mascot is cooler (spoiler alert: it's always a live animal, not some creepy costumed dude).
But when it comes to wrestling dominance, there's one team that puts all others to shame. That's right, I'm talking about the Oklahoma State Cowboys! These guys are like the Michael Jordan of collegiate wrestling, only with way more ear cauliflower and singlets.

So, How Many National Championships Do They Have?
Brace yourselves, wrestling fans (and everyone else, because this is impressive) - Oklahoma State boasts a whopping 34 NCAA national championships in wrestling. That's more than any other program in any DIVISION I sport, folks! We're talking wrestling royalty here.
Tip: Stop when you find something useful.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "34? That can't be right. There must be some kind of catch." Well, guess what? There isn't. These Oklahoma boys (and the occasional girl, because Title IX) have been grappling their way to glory since the 1920s. That's a whole lot of takedowns, pins, and near falls.
But Wait, There's More!
Not only do the Cowboys have a trophy case overflowing with championship hardware, but they've also produced a truckload of individual champions. We're talking a staggering 143 individual NCAA champions and 485 All-Americans. Basically, if you step onto the mat for Oklahoma State, there's a good chance you're going to walk away with some serious bragging rights (and maybe a scholarship).
Tip: Don’t overthink — just keep reading.
So next time someone tries to tell you about the powerhouse that is the Oklahoma State gymnastics team (let's be honest, they haven't won a national title since your grandpa was in college), politely correct them and tell them about the REAL champions in Stillwater.
