Vols prepare for emotional game at Missouri Jonathan Toye Sports Editor
Local protestors unite downtown during Trump visit Heidi Hill
Tennessee enters the game against Missouri as a nine-point favorite. That line might be deceptive, though, as it doesn’t fully capture the mood surrounding the game. Tennessee (6-4, 3-3 SEC) will enter an emotionally charged environment for its showdown against Missouri (5-5, 1-5) on Saturday (TV: ESPN 2, 7:15). Longtime Missouri coach Gary Pinkel announced on Friday that he was diagnosed with lymphoma and would resign at the end of the year. Saturday will mark his last home game as Missouri’s coach. Several Missouri players went on strike last week. Saturday’s matchup against the Vols will be the Tigers’ first home game since that incident. Add senior night to the equation, and the Tigers might be the Vols’ toughest challenge since they played at Alabama on Oct. 24. See FOOTBALL on Page 10

“Hey, ho, racism’s gotta go!” As thousands poured into the Knoxville Convention Center to listen to Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump, a group of protestors led by Knoxville’s SomosUno chanted in unison to passing pedestrians and cars on Henley Street. Earlier in the day, the group’s embedded message, “We Are One,” appeared on the face of The Rock in an effort to attract larger numbers to appear at Trump’s scheduled appearance, which held thousands of supporters as the candidate travels across the Southeast for his campaign. Julian Rodrigeuz, a graduate of Carson-Newman University, described the event as a larger collaboration between SomosUno, a organization designed around the needs of Latin American students, and similar organizations across Tennessee. But the binding factor for the gathering, he said, wasn’t the protestors’ opposition to Trump’s aggressive policies for border control, but rather support for democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders as a guarantor for Hispanic families and his message of equal opportunity. See TRUMP on Page 3
