SPORTS NMSU's teams are called the Aggies , a nickname derived from the university's agricultural beginnings. They compete in the Western Athletic Conference . Their mascot was formerly known as "Pistol Pete", but Pete was redesigned in 2005 as part of the university's plan to remake its image on the national stage; today, the mascot is known simply as "Pete," whose pistol has been replaced with a lasso. NMSU's colors are Crimson and white. NMSU has major rivalries with the University Of New Mexico (the NMSU-UNM football game is called "The Battle of I-25 "), and the University Of Texas At El Paso (called "The Battle of I-10 ", with the winner of the NMSU-UTEP football game getting the Silver Spade ). NMSU has two radio stations, as well as a TV station and a student run newspaper. The radio stations are KRUX, a station run by students, and KRWG, a public radio station. (The TV station is also known as KRWG). The "Round Up" is the student-run newspaper. The Round Up is "The student voice of New Mexico State University since 1907." It's published every Monday and Thursday. POINTS OF INTEREST EXTERNAL LINKS
