Morning Quack Fix: Woody on playing AND coaching QB; O-line likes Autzen; Rice isn't a Cal guy anymore.

Oregon's Pac-10 opener against Cal is just days away. At 2-1 with only a road loss to a top-10 team, Oregon's early-season resume wouldn't look too bad...if it weren't for so many of questions on offense. Let's jump in:
- Ken Woody has a wealth of experience to call on, and his analysis is usually right on target. Today he takes on quarterbacking, coaching, mechanics and the notion of "when to make a switch."
- Rob Moseley's practice notes from Wednesday. Observations include more reps for receivers Lavasier Tuinei and D.J. Davis, plus injury updates on T.J. Ward and a few others. Jeremiah Masoli continues to get it done in practice this week, but will it translate against Cal's D?
- Oregon's young offensive line is making strides, thanks in part to a four-game stretch of home games. John Hunt of The Oregonian talks with a few of the guys about the advantages of playing in Autzen.
- Jeff Smith of The Oregonian has a fun story about Jackson Rice, Oregon's freshman punter. A Bay-area recruit, Rice grew up a Cal fan. Needless to say, he's looking forward to Saturday, thought at the same time, hoping he doesn't see the field much.
- If you get ESPNU, you can see Oregon 5-star recruit Curtis White on the field as Eugene's Sheldon High School takes on Southridge of Beaverton. White has been recovering from a dislocated shoulder, but is cleared to play. One thing I noticed about White - who attended many fall practices - the young man always has a big smile. Talk about a local kid living the dream.
If you find something tasty, please share with the whole class. Go Ducks!

Another question about my trip to Autzen
What’s a good place for me to get some lunch before or after the game that a) is close to the stadium b) has delicious food and c) where I won’t get bad service, spit on, harassed, etc for wearing Cal gear?
In other words, Go Bears!

You won't get harassed
You might get some dirty looks but I can’t think of any fans we would spit on, well maybe U-Dumb’s.
As noted, the Mo Center is fun.

you've clearly never been a visiting fan to Autzen Stadium.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.

You’ve clearly never been a visiting fan to Autzen… as not a Huskey.

Muchas Gracias
Right on the corner of Franklin and Alder. Nothing like a burrito of suspect quality to get you ready for game day. I recommend an Oregon or Fish burrito and make sure to make it supreme. Under $5 too.

Right next to Burrito Boy is The Jail Not much to look at from the outside but food inside is tasty, plentiful and -$.

+1 for the Jail. If you’re still around Sunday morning, brunch at the Cooler is amazing. Best biscuits and gravy in town.

I think you’ll get some crap wherever you go, but that’s going to be the nature of wearing Cal gear. It should just be general good-nature ribbing though.

According to my calculations
Approximately 0.082% of our fan base act like douche bags when shielded by the anonymity of their moniker on Oregonlive.com comment threads. Only 0.0007% of our fan base are actual douche bags. For a Cal fan dining in Eugene, “bad service, spit on, harassed” risk should be minimal.
I second the motion for Sunday mornings at the Cooler. Bad ass grub.

Spit on?
This isn’t Husky stadium. I wouldn’ worry about getting spit on. You can get food and drink in the Mo Center, not cheap by any means, but pretty good.

Mcmennamins patio overlooking the river is pretty killer. Maybe more of an atmosphere thing than good food but still.

Actually we just sort of borrowed it.

One of our posters at CGB went and offered a peace by feeding some ducks (okay, they were geese in the picture, but he probably found some ducks too) this morning. Is there any chance one of you AtQers can go and feed some bears today? Pics would be appreciated.

Ole Miss FAIL!
Well I think we can say certainly two things about Ole Miss:
1. They were WAY overrated at #4.
2. Snead is not a Heisman-level QB.
I know SC played reasonably well but they left the door open so much that a good
team could have pulled it off.
Oh well, another pretender bites the dust.

Whoooo!!!
ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!!!! I always new that Ole Miss was no tall order to beat in the ol’dirty southern conference and not a BCS contender after all!
(Formerly, well, lets not go there) The curse! I cannot live knowing i have the power to knowingly dictate somebody's fate.Yes, that is Jahvid Best as my profile image (as motivated by marinecorpsduck). We should all collectively hope like hell that putting his picture up there will have the same effect my screenname did. We will find out on Saturday!

I think most of the land knew that Ole Miss was the
du jour pick for “up and coming” SEC team … there seems to be one every year. They suck and have sucked for a very long time.

I believe Quinn in pointing out the parallels between Ole Miss-South Carolina and Oregon Boise State.

I figured that much,
I was just reminded of very recent and very cold, cold,cold past memories!

Yep.
I just found the semblance uncanny in context.
