Minnesota and Wisconsin will play for the Big Ten West Division title this Saturday. And while Ohio State-Michigan will always be The Rivalry, Minnesota-Wisconsin can get pretty intense as well.
Although Minnesota leads the all-time series 59-56-8, Wisconsin will be going for its 11th(!) straight win against its rival.
And today, Wisconsin, who is no stranger to trolling other colleges, shot an arrow across the bow at good ol' Goldy the Gopher.
This is what @UWBuckyBadger looked like the last time the Gophers held the axe. #Badgers #AxeWeek pic.twitter.com/qQV4GXYsN6

Who knew baby badgers were so cute? Not me.
The axe, of course, refers to Paul Bunyan's Axe, the trophy between the two teams.
