Impossible.

They painted over a memorial for two UT students that lost their lives over Spring Break.

And the people who did it bragged about it over on Rupp's Rafters.

IDK Why someone would be proud of doing something like that.

Very sad. UT sent out a memo asking that the rock not be repainted for a week to honor the students, but from what I've heard this was just a former UT student and sidewalk UK fan who lives in the area. No way he could have known.

But it certainly takes a little fun out of a good natured prank.

Kind of like a fan placing a LSU flag on the Saban statue.

It does ask, on the rock, to not be painted over until a certain date.

Alas, that would require reading

A person who would do this so they could post on Rupp's Rafters has very little chance at being literate.

As is this:

Must have already been covered up. We wrote over some sorority thing. Spring break was over 2 weeks ago and the rock gets painted 3-4 times a week.


I guess any greek letters = "some sorority thing"

Pretty douche move. Even without the memorial painting, it's pretty weak to paint our rock after winning a NC. I would definitely be too hungover to give a shite.

I'm not trying to flame but it would seem like they would have found a better spot for a memorial than painting it on a big rock?

You obviously know nothing about UT or our traditions so I'm not gonna tell you how much of an arse you're being. I go to UT, and what those UK fans did was about as classless as it gets.

Painting over that memorial on another school's sacred spot is an even new low for those booger eaters known as Kentucky fans.

Pretty worthless imho

I'm not trying to be an arse and your right I don't go to UT and I therefore do not know your local campus traditions other than then Vol walk. I'm was just thinking that if people paint over the rock all the time maybe they should have chose a better spot for the memorial. I'm sorry that you lost your friend. I can understand how it would be viewed as disrespectful.
