Tennessee continued its march to the College Football Playoff in Week 10 as the Volunteers dispatched No. 6 Kentucky, 34-6. The game was close for a while, but the Volunteers pulled away with a 21-point fourth quarter.
After the win, the Volunteers went to social media to troll the Kentucky fans.
The night before the game, a Kentucky fan went and painted ‘Stein Time’ on ‘The Rock‘, which, to no surprise, angered Tennessee fans across the country. ‘The Rock’ is a staple on Tennessee’s campus that the school views as “a place of free expression on campus, a public canvas where thousands of artists have expressed themselves.”
This has always been a fun rivalry game, but this year’s game was one of the highest-stakes games in a long time between the two. The Wildcats are enjoying a dream season under first-year coach Will Stein, as they are still 7-2 and a legitimate College Football Playoff contender with the loss.
While the Kentucky fan who painted ‘The Rock’ might have had an early laugh on Saturday while painting, it was the Volunteers who got the final laugh, and they made sure to let Big Blue Nation know about it.
