Historical context
''Wanting to be eligible for intercollegiate rodeo competition and to make an annual affair of the College-Ranch Hands' Rodeo - which started last year in a blaze of colorful handkerchiefs and western garb-twenty rodeo-minded Aggies, sponsored by the athletic department and the Dona Ana County Sheriff's Posse, this year organized the New Mexico Aggie Rodeo Association.'' Cited from Swastika, Volume, 36, 1942, p.134, http://contentdm.nmsu.edu/cdm/compoundobject/collection/Yearbooks/id/6010/rec/2 ''Jim Dewey Brown was the team's first official coach who was hired in 2002... Under Brown's leadership, Corbett said, ''The team took a drastic turn for the better,'' transforming the team from a loosely organized athletics program established in 1942 to a nationally dominating force.''
