Thursday ToffeeLinks: Ugly Games Edition

It is Thursday, the second greatest of all work days. A happy one to all of you, and for the moment I ask that you indulge me. See today is the start of college football season. It has been a long offseason and I'd like to take a moment to celebrate. It really is the closest thing to soccer in terms of passion so it should be mentioned at a time like this.

Now enjoy the rest of your day and here are some links to get you by.
