34 and counting: THE gathering place for all fans of John Smith's dominant wrestling program, which will shoot for five national titles in a row in 2007.
Can we push someone for a title change of this thread? This name has become somewhat of an embarrassment in my opinion. It's not the "34" part but the "and counting" and the part about "2007" is ridiculous.
I’ve read on other sites that OSU has 34 NC’s but what have they done lately? I guess we could consider the 21st century, “Lately”. In the 21st century OSU and Iowa have won each 1.82% with 4 of the championships, Minn (3) has won 1.36%, OhioSt (1) 0.45% and PSU a ridiculous 4.55% with 10.
If we extrapolate those percentages over time ,PSU will tie use with 50 in the year 2110 (that’s 87 years) at which time Iowa will have 40, Minn 15 and OhSt 5.
So maybe it could be called something like "34 National Championships; Catch us if you can (in 2110)", or (in 87 years).
I’m not a mathematician, I just plugged the numbers in a spreadsheet so hopefully this is not wrong by much. eg. 22 championships this century, PSU 10/22, OSU-ISU 4/22…
