It's March, which means it's that time of year when brackets become one of my favorite things in the world. If I had to die, I probably wouldn't mind as much if how I'd perish was the result of a bracket. Heck, I'd probably watch "American Idol" if it was decided in a single-song elimination format.

Lucky for me, I don't need to suffer either of those horrible fates to get my bracketology on. As we all probably know -- or at least those of us with Y chromosomes -- tomorrow is the beginning of the NCAA Tournament, which means one big bracket of basketball buzzer beaters, upsets and teams with names like Oral Roberts.

One of the most glorious parts of this is filling out your own bracket, trying to Nostradamus the upsets. This year, The Bee has started its own Bracket Bonanza contest, so if you've yet to fill out a bracket, you don't have to go too far to do. I'm not allowed to enter the contest because I work here, but I'm gonna fill one out anyway, just to see how well I can do. Somebody try to beat me, I dare ya.

Another fun bracket game can be found at B95's Web site. Now, I'm not fan of commercial radio, and certainly not commercial hip-hop radio, but I do dig B95's Music Madness Tournament, which started this week. It pits 64 artists against each other in four brackets (hip-hop, divas, R&B and throwback). Mostly I like it because people have absurd opinions (J. Holiday is better than John Legend? Are you kidding me? Bow Wow even close to Lil Wayne? Ha!) and I love to see how things like this play out. Even though we know 2pac's gonna win again.
