Axe Week has officially begun, and with that, the smack talk between Wisconsin Badgers fans and Minnesota Golden Gophers fans has begun, as well. It should be a very exciting game, and a fun way to end the Big Ten regular season for both sides of the rivalry.
Every great rivalry is fueled by seemingly never-ending smack talk. In the good ol' days, smack talk was laid down face-to-face, where no one had anywhere to run to. No hiding behind keyboards, no bashing someone via internet blogging (Who blogs, anyway? Oh, wait ... ), just straight forward, in-your-face smack talk.
