Most of us rag on Bennett quite often, but I though he did a pretty good job with this article. Outside of a few errors, of course. Sorry if posted elsewhere...
"Rhys Lloyd doesn't remember much about the 2003 Wisconsin-Minnesota game except the final seconds and his wild dash afterward.
Lloyd drilled a 35-yard field goal on the game's final play to give the Gophers a 37-34 win. As he recalls it now, Lloyd didn't even see the ball clear the uprights, because he was already sprinting toward the Wisconsin sideline to grab Paul Bunyan's Axe."
"There are few cooler scenes in college football than when the winner of the sport's most-played rivalry seizes that axe and celebrates with it, often by pretending to chop down one of the goal posts."
