Recently I have heard sports broadcasters referring to the San Antonio Spurs as being on a "Nine Game Rodeo Road Trip", but I'm not sure what that term means or where it came from. The Spurs are on a nine game road trip where they have so far won all of their games.

Does "Rodeo Road Trip" simply mean that they have won every game on their road trip?
