The Round of 64 is officially underway, which means that there will be plenty of madness right around the corner.

You can keep track of all of the tournament's biggest plays here. It's not ALL about the basketball, though, because the tournament is also a good way for fans around the country to one-up each other when it comes to antics and support for their favorite schools. Luckily for you, we've compiled some of this year's craziest superfans among the field. (Click here for full-sized gallery.)

Dale Hansen's Latest Brilliant Monologue

There may not be a better sports media personality who tackles social issues in sports better than Dale Hansen. The Dallas sports anchor has delivered some very poignant thoughts on a variety of topics in the past— including on Michael Sam and, more recently, racist signs at a high school basketball game—but his latest monologue ripped the Cowboys for their signing of Greg Hardy this week, and it was spectacular.

It's not too often you see a baseball player get thrown out of a spring training game, but A.J. Pierzynski and Joe West are the two perfect personalities to come together and make that dream reality.

The scintillating Eva Mendes, who became one of the hottest moms in Hollywood last year after giving birth to her and Ryan Gosling's first child, is a fine candidate for today's LLOD honors. This week, the 41-year old actress revealed some interesting tips to maintaining a happy relationship. Among them? Never wear sweatpants. Preach, Eva. (Click here for full-sized gallery.)

Stop. Doing. This

Kentucky has yet to play a game in the NCAA tournament, but one Wildcats fan has already gone ahead and inked up a 40-0 National Champions tattoo. Will this trend ever end?

Dudes Are Dudes

I've watched this Vine a ridiculous amount of times and I still have no idea what point North Florida coach Matthew Driscoll was trying to make here. Biggest bro coach in college basketball?
