The Golden Gophers and Badgers started playing for Paul Bunyan’s Axe in 1948, when it replaced The Slab of Bacon Trophy. The axe’s handle is 6 feet long, allowing a team that repeats from the season before to chop down a goalpost or two. Should a school not in possession win the trophy back, their players are expected to run to the other sideline and grab the axe.
