I hate cbssportsline because every year, I click on cant remember password/email to me and they take like 24-48 hours to do. If I dont get my password soon, I will have to create a brand new account. Dog Gone it CBS!!!!

I've never had the password reminder email take that long. What email service do you use? Seems like a problem on the receiving end, not sportsline.

yahoo. I never have a problem with any other password request. I have so many passwords and logins, that it is hard to remember all of them. especially when you only use them once a year such as cbssportsline. Oh well. Time to create a new account before its too late.

Only five of us have completed brackets so far? Weak. Slackers have until 9am Thursday to sack up.

I tried my very best to sign up (password retrievals to no avail) and even tried to get a new account of palango2, but it kept giving me errors that this is a private league.
Too bad because I really enjoyed talking smack when I won the whole thing a couple of years ago and getting burned every other year by come from last place to first place finishers.

Oh well. here is my final 4 picks

Kansas
West VA
Duke
Pittsburgh

Finals West VA v.s Kansas

Kansas = Champs

Final Score Kansas 73 WVA 67

Myfolsom.com should have been a public league. Somone tinkered with the permissions and made it a private league and therefore its not letting folks sign up. When ever you try to join this league, you get the following error:


Error
This is a private fantasy league. You are logged in with userid 'palango2', which does not have access to this league. If you think this is wrong, please contact the league commissioner and ask for an invite.

Judging from the previous posts, I am not the only one with that particular issue.

I've been trying all night and can't get in.

Just fill out the bracket for their Infiniti challenge and we'll just keep track by the honor system, maybe you'll win a New Infiniti

My final four are;

Ohio State
Kansas State
Texas
Villanova

With Ohio State winning it all over Texas.

You've already had enough smack talking this year by picking the Kings to win 29 earlier! I still can't believe you did that!

Sorry. Don't know what to say. I've used sportsline for a decade and 3 previous March Madness tourneys for the MyFolsom league without any problems. It was configured the same way in previous years and using the password seemed to have worked just fine.

I just looked at the setup and don't even see a public option. It requires me to set a password for the league. Oh well... I could have manually added email addresses to send you an invite link.

If you have a posted bracket in the public league that I can see, I can use admin permissions and import it into our league, if you want.

Best 1st day ever... upsets galore. If CBS and ESPN didn't have a vested interest, Nova should have been bounced, too (yes, wacky conspiracy theory... if they can do it on the political forum, I can do it on sports).

Way to go, Gaels! Good job, UW (that Washington, not Wisconsin... UW has always been Washington)! Nice effort, SDSU (cheerleaders looked phenomenal, by the way, as expected).

Let's go Cal! Hang tough, UCSB... well, put forth your best effort and highlight your cheerleaders, you're in for a tough one. Come on, Gonzaga!

Go west coast hoops!

I am in last place. If its any consolation, the past few years, the person that was in the bottom or near the bottom ended up winning the whole thing due to the unpredictability of this madness:

Group Standings
Rank
1 DrKoz23
1 SacKen
3 Stevethe dad
4 John
5 CWF
6 Palango

Steve leaps from 3rd to first and palango is still way behind in last place. I wish we had more players though. next year, we will make a concerted effort to get AT LEAST 20 and lets ditch cbs in favor of yahoo or espn and make it a public league please.

I didn't see that one coming. What a bracket buster! I am going to root for all the underdogs.

Some how I typed in myfolsom.com and got in, only to find out later I formed my own league. Even though my teams aren't doing very well, it looks like I'm lock to win it!

Since I picked Ohio State to play Texas in the final, its not worth importing my teams into this league, unless I finsh higher than Palango, then its worth it.
