Working off of the various posts about the ABA (mostly from Dinan), I was curious to see if Chattanooga would be home during TrashMasters weekend. Only one think kept me from finding out.

There's no schedule.

Neither the team's website nor the ABA website has a schedule for this season. Going off of last year's schedule, the season should start in about a month.

Is it me, or are they cutting things a little close? I mean, given the status of the current ABA, I can see teams not getting game dates because a junior high dance booked the space beforehand.

Maybe they're going to run the season like America's Next Top Model, with games announced by cryptic notes left by the commissioner. "Do you have what it takes to end the reign of knights? Be ready to get on the team bus at 7 am." If they only had a meeting every week where one losing team was eliminated from the league...

From the Chattanooga Steamers press release on the selection of the team's home venue, Maclellan Arena:

“Maclellan has a great basketball history, and we hope to continue the tradition,” said Tyner, referring to the 1977 NCAA Division II National Championship, when UT-Chattanooga defeated Randolph-Macon College 71-62.

When your "great history" has to be explained, and said explanation refers to a Division II basketball game from 28 years ago, suffice it to say you really don't have a "great history."
