Wisconsin has possessed Paul Bunyan's Axe since 2004. Naturally, it would make sense for Minnesota to want it back, and they do--badly.
CHICAGO -- Wisconsin vs. Minnesota is perennially a fun game. This season, the Battle for Paul Bunyan’s Axe should be even more exciting.
The Badgers have won each of the last 11 games in college football’s longest-running rivalry. It’s no secret. Both sides are well aware of it.
Speaking Friday at Big Ten media days in Chicago, the Golden Gophers' contingent head coach of Jerry Kill, defensive back Briean Boddy-Calhoun, defensive lineman Thieren Cockran and quarterback Mitch Leidner voiced their anticipation for this season’s final-week game against the Badgers.
