Auburn head coach Butch Thompson joins Shotgun Spratling to talk about his Tigers team that's in position to be a national seed for the second year in a row. He discusses why Auburn seems to perpetually be under the radar despite reaching four super regionals and two College World Series in the last seven NCAA tournaments. He talks about the pride he takes in what they’ve built at Plainsman Park over the last decade after he took over a downtrodden program that fired its prior coach in the middle of the fall.

Thompson also discusses the move of Jackson Sanders to the bullpen, the impact of catcher Chase Fralick, the midweek cancellation topic, and more

Later in the show, Shotgun also chats with D1Baseball-SEC Extra's Joe Healy about Auburn and their potential to make a postseason run this year.
