I scroll Facebook a lot. It’s not as good as it once was, but still I scroll mindlessly. Despite all my scrolling on the “bubblegum for the mind” app, I nearly missed out on one of the greatest social media marketing ploys in decades. Have you seen the chaos that is the Wendy’s Facebook feed? I was alerted to it by a story I read about it on Inc.com . I get a daily email with story headlines from the online version of Inc. Magazine. It sometimes has some pretty good busines...

In the first match of the day, ENMU and Adams State played to a scoreless draw. Both teams were slated to face Fort Lewis on Saturday at Alamosa. Mascarel, from Nice, France and a transfer from Northeastern State (Okla)., found the top right corner of the net in the 18th minute, and less than two minutes later tea...
PORTALES – It's not often a team can lose four fumbles in a half, leading to four scores for the opposition, and live to tell about it. Helped by a penalty, Eastern New Mexico University's football team survived a tying 2-point opportunity by New Mexico Highlands in the closing moments and edged the Cowboys 28-26 on Thursday night in the season opener for both teams at Greyhound Stadium. After a successful conversion try was negated by a false-start penalty, junior l...
BOVINA – Bovina survived a quick gut-punch by Seagraves on Thursday night and went on to beat the Eagles 24-18, squaring its record for the season at 1-1.

The Eagles, though, missed on all three conversion attempts – a kick and two passes. The...
