As time marches on, Rhys Lloyd has accepted why his name remains synonymous with the annual Minnesota-Wisconsin football rivalry -- even if he doesn't like it. Lloyd, the former Gophers kicker, certainly is flattered when fans delight in remembering his famous 35-yard field goal as the clock expired, which sent Minnesota to a stirring 37-34 victory.
Before the kick that beat the Badgers had even split the uprights, Lloyd sprinted toward Wisconsin's sideline, as dozens of joyous Minnesota players followed. He uncovered Paul Bunyan's Axe -- the indelible six-foot symbol of the century-old series -- and hoisted the trophy in the air while teammates grabbed him and slapped his helmet.
