On today’s episode of Longshore and McKnight, our hosts John Longshore and Barry McKnight broadcasted live from Montgomery Regional Airport. They kicked off the episode touting the facility’s ease of use and recent upgrades, including a new $5 million baggage claim system. Moving on to the pitfalls of “double tripping,” the two shared personal travel experiences demonstrating the convenience and ease of starting trips at MGM. The segment also recapped the NBA Draft’s first round, highlighting Auburn’s Johni Broome being left off the board.

In college football news, the duo discussed Texas State’s expected move from the Sun Belt to a restructured Pac-12 and how that might affect broader conference realignment. They predicted that the SEC may continue expanding and referenced Longshore’s long-standing “Big Boy Conference” concept. Later, Auburn defensive lineman Keldrick Falk was praised as a rising leader and physical force, while Phil Steele’s preseason magazine ranked Alabama seventh, behind six other teams, including Penn State, Clemson, and Texas. The hosts believe this could be bulletin-board material for the Crimson Tide heading into media days.
