There are many great rivalries in Division I college football, but only
one can say it has been played the longest: Minnesota and Wisconsin.
Since 1890, the Golden Gophers and Badgers have faced each other in the
annual game known as the Border Battle. Early teams competed for the
coveted Slab of Bacon trophy until 1948, when the winning team would
take home Paul Bunyan's Axe, a tradition that continues to this day.
