When does UT announce it's basketball schedule?

a) I don't like Duke at all - grew up hating them and have softened somewhat just b/c...
b) ...I now live a mile from Cameron Indoor
c) I've seen 5 or 6 games there
d) It's old and hot and loud and small and cramped
e) There's nothing else like it - it's a complete throwback gym, and apart from all the obnoxious Coach K worshipping and cult-like behavior, it's a great place to watch a game.

I would love nothing more than to be one of 50 people in the place wearing orange and cheering when the rest of the place is dead silent.

I have a problem with everything in d) except the loud part. Going from any modern gym to that dump is hard to do. Now, since it's Dook, I would like to have plenty of Vol fans there to cheer if we were to play, but I think most people going for the first time would be disappointed with the rustic cabin-like gym.

I'm fine with small, cramped, and old. Neyland is old. The bathrooms there are stinky nasty, and nobody complains about that. Old = character.

Wish they could do something about the hot part, b/c it is sweltering and reeeeallly uncomfortable.

Tony Jones commented on next years schedule on I think the Sunday Sports tv show a few ago. He couldn't give away any schools, but he said he is working a deal where we would be doing a home away series with a team out west (pac 10 I would think) and he also said one of the top teams in the ACC. Duke wouldn't come to TBA - they don't have to. I would hope for NC, but I think they are the same as Duke. I would think Virginia, Maryland or GT. UCLA travels. They just finished a home away series with WV. That would be huge.

I have heard we will play Wake Forest in the coming years, but they aren't really what I classify as a "top team."

Does the Wisconsin home/away start in '09?
