# 25 NMSU Baseball Continues to Defy Odds
 |
| Rocky Ward |
The 25th ranked New Mexico State University baseball program does more with less than any program in the nation. Several high school facilities in the state of New Mexico are superior to Presley Askew field, the home of Aggie baseball.
Head coach Rocky Ward and his assistants draw salaries that are dwarfed by those paid by programs all around the country. Assistant Gary Ward (Rocky’s father) is one of the greatest baseball coaches in NCAA history. His resume is tremendous and he is a magnet for college baseball talent. Such is the reputation of both Rocky and Gary Ward for baseball coaching prowess that players from all over the country make inquiries about playing at NMSU. Still, recruiting is a tricky task for the Aggie baseball program. Recruit visits are not part of the winning formula. A player who looks at the resume of NMSU’s baseball principals via internet search engines will be impressed. A player who visits the ramshackle baseball facilities at NMSU will think twice about signing.
NMSU is always a leading offensive team in the country. This year the Aggies are also blessed with a remarkably talented pitching staff. NMSU has a pair of road wins at Arizona, three wins over in-state rival UNM, three wins over the ACC's Wake Forest, and a road win at Texas Tech. Thursday and Friday NMSU notched come from behind WAC wins over Louisiana Tech. If they continue their winning ways they seem likely to make the post season NCAA tournament, again.
Governor of Montana Attacks Romney's Family History
“The line of polygamists in Obama’s family can be traced back generations in western Kenya, where it was an accepted practice within the Luo (pronounced LOO-oh) tribe.” His great-grandfather, Obama Opiyo, had five wives, including two who were sisters. His grandfather, Hussein Onyango, had at least four wives, one of whom, Akumu, gave birth to the president’s father, Barack Obama” before fleeing her abusive husband. Obama Sr. was already married when he left Kenya to study at the University of Hawaii, where he married again. His American wife-to-be, Stanley Ann Dunham, was not yet 18 and unaware of his marital situation when she became pregnant with his namesake son in 1961.
It is also well known that Democrat Senator from New Mexico, Tom Udall, and his cousin, Senator Mark Udall (D) from Colorado, come from a long line of polygamists. But that was never an issue because they are Democrats. Mens Journal reported:
In the Udall family, politics stretches back generations. Mark’s and Tom’s great-grandfather, David King Udall, was a pioneer Arizonan and a Mormon polygamist who was sent to federal prison (on testimony of an ancestor of Mitt Romney’s, family lore has it). He was pardoned by President Grover Cleveland, then tossed back in jail. This time, it was Barry Goldwater’s grandfather who got him off the hook.
It’s only ever an issue if the politician is Republican.
10 Years Ago Dems Blocked Drilling In ANWR Because It Would Take 10 Years to Produce OIl
From Gateway Pundit -Ten years ago, Senate Democrats blocked energy production in a small portion of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). At the time, they claimed that ANWR should be off limits because the oil would take 10 years to reach the market. Ten years later, ANWR remains closed, gas prices have skyrocketed, and Democrats continue to block additional energy production.
