Minnesota Football: Paul Bunyan’s Axe to Tour Minnesota in June

With the Minnesota Golden Gophers football team’s magical 37-15 win over Wisconsin in Madison last November, Minnesota got to take home the biggest prize of all. The Gophers are in possession of Paul Bunyan’s Axe for the first time since 2004, and they have not been shy about showing it off to Minnesota fans. The Axe has made multiple appearances on campus for fans to hold it and take pictures with it. Now it is time for those in outstate Minnesota to get their chance to touch one of the most famous rivalry trophies in all of college football.
