Butch Thompson and Auburn University announced the 2017 baseball schedule tonight, and it involves a lot of staying at home. The official site broke it all down, but here it is in a nutshell:
First 17 games are at home. They begin with a four-game series against George Washington starting February 17th. Auburn doesn't leave Alabama until mid-March. They don't even leave Plainsman Park until mid-March. One change is that the Capital City Classic is going to be at the front of the SEC schedule, so it's almost like a conference game this time.
Of the SEC teams, Auburn gets Florida, South Carolina, and Ole Miss all at home.
