Kentucky Heroes Paint "The Rock" at Tennessee Blue
Blue got in before the sun rose over Rocky Top. Early Saturday morning a group of seven Kentucky football fans made the trek to Tennessee’s campus to redecorate The Rock.
If you are unfamiliar with “The Rock,” the Knoxville landmark is one of the most visited attractions on Tennessee’s campus. Originally uncovered in the 60s, this is how it’s described by the university.

“An iconic UT landmark for more than 50 years, the Rock is a place of free expression on campus, a public canvas where thousands of artists have expressed themselves. Unearthed in 1966, the Rock has been a fixture of campus life ever since, and painting the Rock has become a treasured campus tradition.”
This artwork might be the most beautiful to ever grace the hideous campus.
The front of The Rock has since been repainted with a Jack-o-Lantern Volunteer, but as kickoff approaches on the back of the stone you can still see the Big Blue Rock. The Knoxville air is thick with the smell of an upset.
