Boys and Girls,
If you don't want to shell out the bucks to watch the Vols and Ohio on pay-per-view, and if you have lost your poncho and decide to stay home, we have you covered.
I'll be blogging about the game, right here at marknagi.com.
The SEC kind of frowns upon any kind of live blogging about games... so I'll be updating key moments, as they happen...
Check back often starting at 7pm... at marknagi.com!

Some major empty pockets in the stands at Neyland Stadium, and that is not a major surprise. The weather and the opponent (Ohio) combining to make the less than capacity attendance a reality.
6 Sports Director Jim Wogan is at the game, and tweets that there might be 65,000 in the house.
The Bobcats kicked off to Tennessee, and the Vols started things on their own 31 yard line.

Just got off the anchor desk... learned that Ohio scored another touchdown. My first thought was that Jonathan Crompton threw an interception which was then returned for a score.
I was incorrect. However, he did throw his eighth pick of the season. Noah Keller grabbed it, ran it back 10 yards to the UT 30 yard line.
Four plays later the Bobcats score. 14-7 Ohio.
Next possession... Crompton now overthrows Marsalis Teague, who was wide... wide open. Would have been a sure touchdown. Tennessee punting it away.

With Ohio leading 14-7, Tennessee goes for it on fourth and one from the Ohio 21. Crompton... play action, fakes to Hardesty... who makes the catch, and runs it down to the Ohio 3.
On the very next play, Crompton throws the fade, hits Brandon Warren for the touchdown. Game tied at 14.

Terrible, terrible call by Ohio. On 3rd and 29, deep in their own territory, the Bobcats call a screen pass.
Tennessee's Chris Walker not fooled. He picks off the pass, runs it 7 yards into the end zone... Vols now on top 21-14 with 7:23 remaining in first half.

Halftime at Neyland Stadium. Vols leads Ohio 24-17.
Crompton made a great pass to Denarius Moore, down to the Ohio 20. That put them in field goal range for Daniel Lincoln, who makes a 38 yard field goal.

Time to start editing.... Vols leading Ohio 24-20 in the middle of third quarter. Highlights tonight after 11pm (we are showing the Penn State/Iowa game) on WATE-TV6.

Only Ohio is standing in between the Vols and the Sweet 16. Piece of cake, right? The Bobcats finished ninth in the MAC this year.
But if we have learned one thing when it comes to NCAA tournament time, it is that in a one game situation, anything can happen.
Georgetown learned that first hand when Ohio shot over 58% against them on Thursday night. Tennessee survived against San Diego State the same evening.
The Bobcats will have the advantage in the stands. The Dunkin' Donuts Center here in Providence will be decidedly pro-Ohio.&n
