On today’s episode of Longshore and McKnight, hosts John and Barry dug right into the Atlanta Braves’ season-long struggles!

While fans voiced growing frustration, Barry McKnight argued that it might just not be their year, especially after being swept by the Orioles. Meanwhile, the show pivoted to college football, spotlighting Alabama’s explosive recruiting run. With five five-star commitments already secured, the duo debated whether the Tide have ever been this stacked this early in the cycle, noting that their ranking still lagged at No. 5 despite the star power.

Auburn, on the other hand, was the subject of fanbase jabs and concern as its class sat as low as 86th nationally, leading to both sarcasm and worry from callers and message board critics. The show also addressed UCLA canceling its home-and-home series with Auburn due to its move to the Big Ten, creating a major scheduling hole for the Tigers.

This segued into a broader discussion on looming conference realignment, with hosts suggesting that schools like Florida State and Clemson don’t bring enough financial value to warrant SEC inclusion. John Longshore emphasized that in today’s landscape, “fit” means revenue, not geography or tradition.
