The series, known as the Rio Grande Rivalry, dates back to January 1, 1894 – eighteen years before the state of New Mexico achieved statehood – when the schools met in a football contest in Albuquerque.<sup id="cite_ref-mcubed.net_59-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mcubed.net-59"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>59<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> While it is clear that New Mexico won that first game, school records seem to disagree on the score. According to New Mexico media guides the final score was 25–5 but according to New Mexico State media guides the score was 18–6. By the time New Mexico entered the union in 1912 UNM and New Mexico A&M (as NMSU was known prior to 1959) had already met on the gridiron six times. Beginning in 1993, the two universities played for the <span class="anchor" id="Maloof_Trophy"></span>Maloof Trophy, but it was short-lived; the trophy was retired in 2000. </p><p>Until 1937, the series was competitive with the Aggies holding a 15–12–4 lead over the Lobos. Since 1938 the Lobos have dominated the series 61–20–1 except during 1959–1968 when the Aggies won 7 of 10 meetings. The Lobos' all-time advantage is 73–35–5; however, the rivalry remains spirited.<sup id="cite_ref-mcubed.net_59-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-mcubed.net-59"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>59<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The September 26, 2009, game when the Aggies won 20–17 in Albuquerque was the 100th time the teams had played each other.

The older of the two is known as the Silver Spade. It is a replica of an old prospector's shovel found in an abandoned mine in the <a href="/wiki/Organ_Mountains" title="Organ Mountains">Organ Mountains</a> near Las Cruces and has been traded between the schools since 1955. A second trophy, officially titled the Mayor's Cup but commonly nicknamed the Brass Spittoon, was added in 1982. </p><p>Due to the close proximity of the campuses it was natural for a rivalry to develop. The Texas College of Mines played its first ever game against a collegiate opponent versus New Mexico A&M on October 31, 1914, and with few exceptions, including during World War I and World War II, the teams would meet again every year. Following World War II the series resumed on an annual basis from 1946 until 2001, when UTEP's administration made the controversial decision to cancel their scheduled trip to Las Cruces in favor of scheduling an additional home contest against a <a href="/wiki/Division_I-AA" class="mw-redirect" title="Division I-AA">Division I-AA</a> opponent. The schools agreed to meet again in 2002 (a 49–14 NMSU win, their biggest blowout of the Miners since 1922), but did not play again until 2004 in El Paso when the Miners exacted revenge for their blowout loss two years prior with a 45–0 pasting of the Aggies, the most lopsided result in the series in 55 years. The blowout marked the beginning of a three-game winning streak for UTEP in the rivalry. The tide of the series then seemingly turned back in the Aggies' favor, as NMSU defeated UTEP the next two years, their first back-to-back wins over UTEP since 1994 and 1995. The Aggies edged the Miners 34–33 on September 20, 2008, at the <a href="/wiki/Sun_Bowl_Stadium" class="mw-redirect" title="Sun Bowl Stadium">Sun Bowl</a> for their first win in El Paso since 1994.<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceA_61-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-61"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>61<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> However, the most recent three games in the series have gone back to the Miners, with UTEP defeating NMSU at <a href="/wiki/Aggie_Memorial_Stadium" title="Aggie Memorial Stadium">Aggie Memorial Stadium</a> 38–12 on September 19, 2009 (only their second win in the <a href="/wiki/Mesilla_Valley" title="Mesilla Valley">Mesilla Valley</a> since 1991),<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceA_61-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-61"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>61<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> topping the Aggies 42–10 at the Sun Bowl on September 18, 2010, and again defeating the Aggies 16–10 on September 17, 2011, in Las Cruces for their first back-to-back road wins in the series since winning four straight games in Las Cruces between 1986 and 1991.<sup id="cite_ref-ReferenceA_61-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ReferenceA-61"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>61<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="National_award_winners">National award winners</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=New_Mexico_State_Aggies_football&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: National award winners"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><b><a href="/wiki/AFCA_Coach_of_the_Year" class="mw-redirect" title="AFCA Coach of the Year">AFCA Coach of the Year</a></b></li></ul> <table class="wikitable"> <tbody><tr align="center"> <th colspan="5" style="background-color:#7E141B;color:white;box-shadow: inset 2px 2px 0 #000000, inset -2px -2px 0 #000000;">AFCA Coach of the Year </th></tr> <tr> <th>Year </th> <th>Name </th> <th>Division </th></tr> <tr align="center" bgcolor=""> <td><a href="/wiki/1960_NCAA_football_season" class="mw-redirect" title="1960 NCAA football season">1960</a></td> <td><a href="/wiki/Warren_B._Woodson" title="Warren B.
