CHICAGO -- Wisconsin athletics director Barry Alvarez says that regardless of where Paul Bunyan's Axe is after the Badgers' rivalry game with Minnesota, the loser should get out of the way.
"I think both teams should know that the other team isn't going to stand around and shake hands after the game," Alvarez told the Pioneer Press during the Big Ten media days Thursday. "Whoever wins the game is gonna get that Axe and parade it. The losing team (should) just leave the field."
When Wisconsin beat Minnesota 20-7 in 2013, some Badgers players acted as if they were using it to chop down the goalpost in front of the Gophers' tunnel at TCF Bank Stadium.
