This might be Mike Sanford Jr. s first time coaching in a Gophers-Wisconsin showdown, but it s certainly not his introduction to the rivalry. I think I was in middle school, high school, where I saw highlights of a classic Minnesota-Wisconsin border battle game, the Gophers offensive coordinator said. … I ll never forget seeing that Axe, and I was like, Wow, that s an incredible trophy. … It s a really unique rivalry in the sense that between these two states, it s humongous.
The Gophers will meet the Badgers for the 130th time Saturday, a rescheduled matchup after the Gophers COVID-19 outbreak knocked out the original Nov. 28 game and threatened to make 2020 just the second time since 1890 the annual rivalry didn t happen. And even a non-Midwest native like Sanford understands implicitly what taking Paul Bunyan s Axe means.
