Wisconsin and Minnesota are set to battle it out for Paul Bunyan’s Axe on Black Friday, kicking off a loaded rivalry weekend of college football. This will be the 134th meeting all time — and the 117th consecutive game, which makes it the longest uninterrupted series in FBS history — between the Badgers and the Golden Gophers in what has become one of this sport’s most hotly contested feuds.
Minnesota and Wisconsin are 3-3 in the series since 2018, with the road team notably winning each of the past two matchups. Minnesota has won two of its last three games in Madison, Wisconsin after losing 11 straight from 1996-2016. Though the overall record is even over the past six years, only two games in that span have been decided by one possession.
Prior to 2018, Wisconsin won a series-record 14 straight from 2004-17. The Badgers also hold a very narrow lead all-time with a 63-63-8 record. That being said, this is a big game for Luke Fickell’s squad.
After starting the year 5-2, Wisconsin has lost its last four games. It’s the program’s longest losing streak since 2008, and only the third time since 1992 that the Badgers have dropped four consecutive contests. Minnesota, meanwhile, has won four of its last six after posting a 2-3 record through its first five games.
