March Madness is well under way. Bets have been placed, games are being watched, alma maters are being cheered on.
And for those of us who have no idea what March Madness is or what is going on in this year’s NCAA tournament? No problem. Of course WikiAnswers.com has a Q&A category just for you. And you can get the full March Madness lowdown at Answers.com, reference-style.
Here are some Q&A’s to get you started:
Today I’m happy to present a deeper look into one of the brilliant minds behind the WikiAnswers team. Gil is a WikiAnswers tester, who, when not working on making sure the site is constantly perfect, apparently has other things to think about… who knew?

Yesterday was a big day for me.
Four of my favorite sports teams were playing simultaneously in three different sports, and luck would have it, they all won!
It’s hard to describe how good it feels for a devoted fan when your favorite team wins a game, I think the closest I can come is it’s like having the best ice-cream headache of your life combined with the rush of eating way too much chocolate (before that nasty stomachache kicks in). So if you’ll take that feeling and multiply it by four you’ll know how I feel today…
…kind of sick.
You see, apart from being a part-time Wikiholic, I am also a sportsoholic.
I follow baseball, football, basketball and soccer; in each I have a different favorite team.
Actually, it’s even more complicated than that.
I root for one baseball team, one football team, two basketball teams (one in located in Israel and one from the NBA), and three different soccer teams (one in Israel, one in England and one in Spain).
Wait, I think I can complicate this even further.
One of the basketball teams and two of the soccer teams play in two different leagues each. That’s like trying to Supervise ten different categories…
Oh, and did I mention that almost half of those games are played between midnight to 6 am, my local time?
So, to recap, every year I follow seven teams in ten different leagues, playing more than 365 games. No wonder days like yesterday happen…

P.S. And I didn’t even talk about my favorite tennis and golf players!

March has gone mad. It’s that season…the one that every college basketball fan waits for. The only reason we get up some mornings.
The NCAA tournament.
It’s March Madness.
Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a die hard Tar Heel fan. It began at a young age…being raised in North Carolina, one must choose early on. You’re either a Tar Heel or you’re a Blue Devil. And every now and then you meet someone who just doesn’t have a clue…and we call those folks “Wolfpack fans.”
Anyway, every year, practically from birth, North Carolinians get riled up in March and the fierce competition comes to head. Luckily for me…I am on the right team and I often find myself pointing and laughing at Dook fans. Bless them. They just don’t know any better.
Have you filled out your bracket yet? To be honest…the whole thing is a waste of time. Just write “UNC” in the center square and the rest is really irrelevant. You’ll see.
With all the time you’ll save from this abridged way of filling out your brackets, check out the March Madness topic on WikiAnswers. Ask and answer all your NCAA tourney questions there!
What kinds of things are people wondering about?
Obviously, that last one will have to be updated next month when the Heels bring it home again!
