Happy Thursday, Sooner fans! College football season truly begins tonight, but you’re stuck at the office until then. Here are some links to help you pass the time. Ther

• The Sooners are now a pretty huge favorite over Houston, with the current line sitting at Oklahoma (-11). This is a pretty enormous line for what should be a pretty competitive game, so gamblers must not be too confident in Houston’s defense leading up to this one.
• Ahmad Thomas has had quite a journey on the way to becoming a team captain, Cody Stavenhagen writes.
• Spenser Davis of the OU Daily has written some good stuff about Dakota Austin’s confidence.
• OU has a new wrestling coach in the form of former Ohio State assistant Lou Rosselli.
• There’s a great feature on The Post Game about the origins of nicknames in college football, and the Sooners are obviously included.
• Texas DC Vance Bedford pleaded Texas fans not to sell their tickets to Notre Dame fans.

Have a great day! If you’re driving to Houston, be safe!
