Enough With List's, and Many Duck Links

52 days left until college football begins.  52 days left until the Oregon Ducks slaughter the Arkansas State Red Wolves, and begin their march towards Miami on New Year's Day.

But 52 days is still a ways away.  That leaves a lot of people with a bunch of time on their hands.  Mostly they like to just hear themselves talk and create polls, or lists, as a way to bait fans and get traffic.

You know the list's I'm talking about:  best uniforms, best helmets, best/worst cheerleaders, best/worst stadiums, best/worst fanbases, etc.

I look at this time as a chance to further my education by taking summer courses, and get out and have some fun while I can, and the weather is still good.  However, I am working on an epic piece that I'm gonna take my time with.  It will be out in time before the season starts.

In the meantime, here are some links I found worth checking out:
