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.
