Tiger QB Helps Offense Make Big Push
TSU football has rebounded from a rocky start and has been making some heads turn in the SWAC conference. This took place due to a consistently devastating defense and an offense that has finally answered the challenge and lived up to Tiger fans expectations from the beginning of the season.
The Tiger offense has shown great promise in the past few games and has helped propelled the team’s three game conference winning streak. The Tigers were only able to score 100 points in the first five games of the season averaging a mere 20 points much of which was assisted by the Tiger defense. Now they have matched that mark in only three games as they now average 33 points a game as they climb to the top of the competition in the SWAC.
Quarterback, Arvell Nelson, has been a big reason why the Tiger offense has made such major progress in the last few weeks. Nelson, an Ohio native, has had three outstanding games against Jackson State, Alcorn State, and Mississippi Valley and has led with an average of over 200 yards passing and a completion rate surpassing 50 percent in each game.
Nelson has been nominated for National Player of the week for his homecoming performance when the Tigers defeated Alcorn State 55-21 and piled up 578 yards of total offense.
The Tigers’ victory over Alcorn gave TSU its first homecoming victory in five years. With this young team starting to come together, the future looks bright for Nelson and the Tiger football team.

There have been some people at Texas Southern University questioning the maintenance of the on campus student housing at Tierwester Oaks apartments.
Students, parents, and alumni are starting to show concern for the living conditions at Tierwester. There have been reports of problems with trash, poor maintenance in the buildings, and even robberies.
Taylor Reynolds, an honor student at TSU, has lived with these issues for her entire freshman year, but she has decided that she will not stand for these problems for another semester.
"I am starting a petition to get somebody to notice our concerns," said Reynolds.
Reynolds is not the only one who has some concerns about Tierwester Oaks.
Reginald Patterson, a former TSU student and Treasury of the Alumni Association, visited the campus on Monday and was apalled at the amount of trash in the area of Tierewester Oaks.
"This looks horrible. Why would you want to trash your own place?"
Reynolds petition is circulating through email in Yahoo and she is requesting support from current and former residents of Tierwester Oaks Apartments.

Students and Faculty Rally behind Supreme Court Nominee
By Randall Newsome
Texas Southern University students and faculty reacted positively to President Obama’s nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to serve as a new Supreme Court Justice in spite of criticism from some who called her a racist and a radical.
“It’s more about her background than her race,” said senior journalism major Holly Smith.
When Sotomayor was nominated people started to talk about a speech she gave back in 2001 at the University of California Berkley involving ethnicity and sex affecting a judge’s decisions when deciding cases.
“I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life,” said Judge Sotomayor during the speech at University of California at Berkeley.
TSU’s students and faculty of Hispanic descent were outraged that some were calling her comments racist. They said that her speech was taken completely out of context.
Thurgood Marshall School of Law Associated Dean and Professor Fernando Colon-Navarro, who specializes in Constitutional Law, was very passionate about the message he felt that Sotomayor was trying to get across.
“Who we are and what we bring to the table determines our effectiveness. That’s all she meant,” said Colon-Navarro.
Sotomayor’s speech at University of California at Berkley, along with a few others surfaced and led to her nomination being questioned and looked down upon by some conservatives and political media.
“She needs to be more careful about what she says,” said ROTC Cadet Luis Santiago.
On the other hand, constitutional scholars who analyzed her message were able to understand her main points and the direction she was going in.
“The real spirit of what she was trying to say was that her life experience will help her judge fairly,” said Associate Dean and Professor of Constitutional Law L. Darnell Weeden.
Despite heavy media controversy, students and faculty alike have given a reaction very much in favor of Sotomayor’s nomination to the Supreme Court.
