With Jeff George not having been good enough to break through the deep and talented Raiders QB depth chart last year, Jeff George needs a job. Sometimes, in situations like these, karma has a way...
Cinderella Is A 3-Seed
Maybe the lack of an underdog isn't such a bad thing. The lowest-seeded team left is Oregon, who's battled to the Elite Eight from the lowly ranks of the 3-seed.

Time To Open The Big Can Of Monkey Whupass
Thankfully, late-night monkey zoo abductions have been virtually stamped out here in the U.S. But in Great Britain, where they are common, monkeys must be ever vigilant.
