  "account": "As college football football fans prepare for a major rivalry matchup, Kentucky Wildcats supporters found an unconventional way to make their presence known in Knoxville. Ahead of Saturday night's game, a group of Wildcats fans reportedly sneaked onto Tennessee Volunteers' campus and painted the iconic \"The Rock,\" a 97.5-ton hunk of Knox dolomite stone that has been a part of the University of Tennessee's campus for over 50 years. On one side of the rock, they wrote \"UK\" and \"Stein Time,\" celebrating Kentucky's head coach, Will Stein. On the other side, they wrote \"#BBN,\" the hashtag for Kentucky Wildcats fans, known as Big Blue Nation. A video showing the painted rock went viral on social media, with many fans praising the Wildcats' trolling effort. The match between Kentucky (7-1) and Tennessee (6-2) holds significant College Football Playoff implications, with Kentucky ranked No. 6 and Tennessee No. 13.",
