The Gophers haven’t lost to the Badgers in football in more than 600 days, and the famed Paul Bunyan Axe is on proud display at Minnesota State Fair. The Great Minnesota Get-Together has a robust Gophers sports auditorium and the big draw this year is the Axe. A year from now, the trophy case will need to be refitted to fit Floyd of Rosedale, a trophy the Gophers have yet to win under P.J. Fleck, but that will change this season.
Move over Sweet Martha’s Cookies and butter sculptures, #Gophers Axe is the most beautiful site to see at the Great Minnesota Get-Together! (h/t @jeffshelman) pic.twitter.com/YhMJtteJit
