In the latest episode of Longshore and McKnight, John Longshore and Barry McKnight cover everything from Auburn football’s rough season to Alabama’s upcoming matchup with LSU, NFL trade shakeups, and even a conversation about today’s political landscape.
Today, they welcomed special guest Caroleene Dobson, Republican candidate for Alabama’s 2nd Congressional District, who happens to be on the ballot today. They also welcome YHN Media Group, LLC president, Ellis Terry, to discuss the new partnership and what viewers can expect coming down the road.
The show kicks off with an analysis into Auburn’s disappointing loss to Vanderbilt. Longshore and McKnight discuss Auburn’s offensive issues, questioning head coach Hugh Freeze’s decisions—especially the reduced role of star running back Jarques Hunter in the second half. They don’t hold back on their frustration with Auburn’s play-calling and missed opportunities, hinting that the problems might be more than just on the field.
In a special segment, Caroleene Dobson joins the show to talk about her campaign and the issues she’s focusing on for Alabama families. She highlights the struggles that Alabamians are facing with the rising cost of living, high gas prices, and what she calls “a lack of support for rural communities.” Dobson shares her commitment to tackling inflation, securing the border, and creating more opportunities for young people across Alabama. For Dobson, it’s about supporting small towns and rural areas, which she believes are often left behind in the political conversation.
Back on sports, Longshore and McKnight look ahead to the first college football playoff rankings, discussing where Alabama might land and the stakes of Saturday’s game against LSU. They speculate on Alabama’s path to the playoffs and how a win over LSU could keep the Crimson Tide’s championship hopes alive, while a loss would likely end their playoff dreams.
The hosts don’t leave NFL fans out, with a lively discussion about the recent trade deadline. The New Orleans Saints have been on a losing streak, and the hosts talk about the recent firing of head coach Dennis Allen and what changes might come next for the team. They debate potential candidates for the position and what it will take to turn things around in New Orleans.
Wrapping up the episode, Longshore and McKnight celebrate a new chapter for the show with their partnership with Yellowhammer News, Alabama’s trusted source for news and sports coverage. Yellowhammer’s President, Ellis Terry, joins to talk about what this collaboration means for fans and how it will bring even more in-depth content to Alabama sports enthusiasts.
