Under no circumstances will this year be in any way successful if the Axe doesn't end up residing in Madison tonight. It took a lot of years for the Badgers to catch up with the Gophers in the win column, and now they have to move ahead. It's tied with 60 wins each, and to get there, we had to win for 14 years in a row, only losing in 2018!
We need the win! We need the Axe! We need to have a state-wide tour of the axe, just like Fleck and his people did in Minnesota since the win last year. It was rubbing our noses in the fact that they, "won." After losing 14 in a row, they should have been thankful, not arrogant! Gotta take that Axe back from Ole & Helga.
