Barry McKnight hosted solo again in today’s episode of Longshore and McKnight, welcoming guest Colin McCrary for an inside look at TV golf production!
McCrary detailed his work as a volunteer spotter at the U.S. Open at Oakmont, describing a high-stress, precision-based role that coordinates player movements, announcer cues, and camera positioning.
“You’re listening to 30 conversations at once,” McCrary said. He also reflected on Rory McIlroy’s mental game, calling it elite but occasionally vulnerable under pressure. The segment offered rare insight into the grueling logistics behind a seemingly smooth golf broadcast.

Barry later praised Scottie Scheffler’s consistency and mental toughness, calling his rise to dominance a mystery rooted in elite focus. In recruiting news, Rodney Orr reported Alabama flipped four-star quarterback Jett Tamala from Iowa State and is eyeing Texas wideout Booby Feaster, whom Orr described as “one of the top receivers in the country.”
