Only two SEC series remain in the season, and neither of them will be easy.
Every game is important to Auburn head coach Butch Thompson, but you can bet this weekend's series means a little bit more. As late as the middle of last Fall, Thompson was the pitching coach at Mississippi State. Following the abrupt firing of former coach Sunny Golloway and the head coaching search during Auburn's fall practice, Butch Thompson was tabbed to return to the Plains - where he'd been an assistant in years prior - to be the head coach. Now, he'll face his old team again.
