On today’s episode of Longshore and McKnight, John and Barry open the show reacting to the lack of national and local sports coverage as teams head to San Antonio for the Final Four. They poke fun at media outlets focusing more on all-time football rankings than on Auburn’s historic run, and celebrate the Tigers’ second Final Four appearance. The guys also highlight Alabama baseball’s surprising national ranking, while humorously mourning the Atlanta Braves’ 0–6 start, joking about “luxuriating in their misery” and poking fun at Major League Baseball’s bat and rule changes.

Guest Kyle George, Troy’s Executive Associate AD, joins the show to discuss Troy’s thriving athletics scene, including the women’s basketball team’s WNIT Fab Four appearance, the success of Coach Scott Cross and the men’s team, and excitement around spring football and a new indoor practice facility. He previews Troy’s T-Day spring game on April 12, which features a “Lunch with Legends,” fan prizes, and interactive events.

The second hour brings in CJ Duncan, who talks mental toughness in the NCAA Tournament, critiques NFL rule changes, and weighs in on the state of college sports amid NIL and transfer portal challenges. The show wraps with talk of Bruce Pearl’s legacy, speculating whether a national title win could lead to his retirement.
