They Don't Call Them Sooners for Nothing (They Won a Lot, Fast)
The University of Oklahoma boasts a staggering 44 national championships across various sports. That's like winning a championship every other year for, well, a really long time. Men's gymnastics leads the pack with a cool 12 titles, proving they can tumble and twist their way to victory like nobody's business. Softball isn't far behind with a solid 8 championships, demonstrating that Oklahoma ain't afraid to bring the heat on the diamond. And of course, there's everyone's favorite – football. The Sooners claim a respectable 7 national championships (though some folks might argue about a few – we're looking at you, controversial rankings of the 1950s!).
Reminder: Reading twice often makes things clearer.
But wait, there's more! Wrestling, women's gymnastics, baseball, and even men's golf have all contributed to Oklahoma's trophy haul. It's safe to say that the Sooners have a knack for collecting championship hardware.

So How Did They Do It? Sheer Willpower and Maybe a Little Bit of Wind
There's no secret formula for championship success, but Oklahoma has a few things going for them. First, there's a winning tradition that stretches back for decades. Sooner fans expect excellence, and the athletes rise to the occasion. Second, they have a knack for recruiting top-notch talent. Combine that with exceptional coaching, and you've got a recipe for champions. And let's not forget the Oklahoma weather. Those hot summer days and unpredictable winds might seem brutal, but maybe, just maybe, they help Oklahoma athletes develop that extra edge (or at least make their opponents a little weary).
QuickTip: A careful read saves time later.
Here's a fun fact: In 2016, Oklahoma achieved the remarkable feat of winning three national titles in one semester (men's and women's gymnastics, and softball). Talk about a busy trophy room!
