We kick off hour two of OTB talking the U.S. Open and giving our picks for who we think will take home the trophy. We also discuss the mass exodus of key players from LSU softball and the concern that many of those departures have yet to be replaced. We talk some College World Series as the championship matchup is set, and Matt puts Taylor on the spot by asking which current college football quarterbacks he would take over Sam Leavitt.
