The U.S. Open will finish off the second round early this morning, but Matt Youmans, Kelley Bydlon and Matt Brown offer their second-round observations and third-round predictions.

What a day . . . what a night here in Omaha.

 

We had two great shows . . . saw two great Colllege World Series games . . . met a lot of great VSiN fans . . . stayed out too late . . . didn’t eat dinner for the third night in a row.

One more show today: Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard will do a special Follow The Money from Rocco’s in Omaha from 9-noon Central time.

Two more games today, both in Bracket 2: 

  • Murray State (+195) vs. UCLA (-260), 1 CT, ESPN
  • LSU (+100) vs. Arkansas (-130), 6 CT, ESPN. Money definitely came in on Arkansas since the opener.

Jello shots are definitely coming in on LSU as well.

Matt’s greatest contribution of the day was ordering a pack of Marboro Lights and some Zyn from Door Dash, delivered to the hotel lobby at around midnight.
