Tennessee has advanced to the NCAA tournament's Sweet Sixteen, and you'd think that would only be good news for Vols fans.
But hey, not everything about the game is perfect, according to OnlyFans model Sara Blake Cheek, who's made her name for herself as a Tennessee super fan.
You see, Cheek doesn't care for the start time of the Vols' game Friday vs. Creighton. For the record, the teams aren't slated to tip off until 10:15 p.m. at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. That's right, that's 10:15 p.m. Eastern time.
The Tennessee-Creighton game will follow Purdue and Gonzaga, scheduled for a 7:39 p.m. tipoff.
But 10:15? Eastern? Cheek felt compelled to hold an emergency Vols-related "press conference." For one, of course.
"Let me tell you something, whoever did this, you have made a terrible mistake," Cheek said. "Vols Nation is going to go absolutely insane waitin' on the nightcap. The amount of Mountain Dews and Red Bulls that will be consumed by all of us to stay up until midnight will be dangerous for everyone's health."
And that was all she had to say about that. But it wasn't all she had to say, of course.
She also sent out a fair warning to the good people of Detroit.
"If we win, there will be a sea of orange-clad rednecks that are still a little fired up about losin' the war flooding the streets of Detroit," she continued. "In the event that we lose, I hope you Detroit bartenders have taken some psychology classes are are prepared for the sorrow-ridden customers headed your way.
"Also, stock up on Jack, Fireball and anything other than Bud Light."

Cheek isn't alone when it comes to the start times, by the way. They are indeed later than last season. No one from the tournament has said anything, perhaps hoping no one will notice.
But man, they were wrong about that one. These days, things can bring bad publicity like drawing ire from an OnlyFans legend.
So the arena's in the Eastern time zone tip at 7:40 both nights with the second game starting at 10:10 to 10:30 and ending at 12:30. Makes a lot of sense
