Talk:Minnesota–Wisconsin football rivalry

message: Much of this article outiside of the intro seems to be copy/pasted from the GopherSports.com (see Sources section)article on the subject and then changed slightly. The text in question was added on 9 June 2006. Davidt2718 19:24, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

message: There needs to be a "UW-UM/UM-UW rivalry" page created, with the "Slab of Bacon" and "Paul Bunyan's Axe" pages cited with "main" links in subsections.  Neither one of the current pages incorporates the full history of the rivalry (and it is a historic one).  For listing purposes, the trophies should be cited in subsections of the overall rivalry page.

thread_title:  New Page needed 

message: Should more information be added to this article?  The gophersports article seems to have some decent info, but shouldn't just be plagiarized.  Any good sources would be appreciated.Polkapolkapoker 00:24, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm a current resident of Madison and a recent graduate from the UW, as well as photographer for The Daily Cardinal. I have some photos that may be helpful for this article, and am wondering about how best to make them available for use. Are there any particular shots that are wanted for it? hezy (talk to me) 19:49, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Per the comments above, I've merged the contents of Slab of Bacon to this article (here). Since two of the links were broken, I added new sources that contained basically the same info. I also condensed the material and left out the series record, as the full record is included.--Cúchullain t/c 22:48, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge from [[Slab of Bacon]] 

message: So people have been changing the overall score of the series based off one article by Brian Lucas from 2011 (link below). The basis for his claim of a Badgers victory was a mention from a 1901 game program where it says the 1892 game was a 40-32 Badgers victory. Now, something that has been, imo, grossly overlooked is the fact that the 1892 game has two contemporary newspaper mentions that can be found digitally. One from the Milwaukee Journal on October 31, 1892 and one from the Saint Paul Sunday Globe on October 30, 1892. Both mention a Badgers loss. These are, to my knowledge, the only references from the game in the year in which it was played that are available online. I'm sure local libraries might have digital copies or something though.
Sources state that in 1892 the Badgers lost to Minnesota (differing scores though some say 4-32 and others 4-34).
*Milwaukee Journal - Monday, October 31, 1892 (score 4-32)
::Wisconsin Defeated.
::The Wisconsin University Football team played its second scheduled game saturday afternoon with the University of Minnesota at Madison. The Wisconsin team was badly handicapped as some of its best men were unable to play, and as a result the visitors won an easy game by a score of 32 to 4. The first half closed with the score 8 to 4 in favor of Minneapolis. In the second half the home team forced the ball towards the visitors' goal and Krenshaw was within a few feet of the goal line when he was tacked[sic] and in the struggle his leg was broken above the ankle.
*Saint Paul Sunday Globe - October 30, 1892 (score 4-34) (hard to see, you're going to have to zoom in, but it says...)
::Minnesota Footballers Defeat the Wisconsin Team.
::Madison, Wis., Oct. 29-The football game between the Minnesota and Wisconsin teams resulted in a victory for the former by a score of 34 to 4. The Wisconsin team was handicapped by having six of its heaviest men in the hospital, the result of the Purdue game. About 1,000 people witnessed the game. Krnshaw[sic] left guard for Wisconsin, had his right ankle broken in the second half. Bruised and torn faces, broken fingers and sprains were the special features of the game.
*cfbdatawarehouse.com (score 4-34) 
*Sports reference.com (score 4-32) 
*Minnesota Golden Gophers 2011 Fact Book, page 136 shows 5-0 undefeated season
*Golden Gophers website Minnesota Football - 1892 schedule (score 4-32)
The only thing that states that in 1892 the Badgers beat Minnesota 40-32 is the Brian Lucas article. And in his article he says that he emailed both the UM and UW athletic departments and they changed their records based off his findings.
* Badgers pick up another win vs. Gophers ... last Sunday by Brian Lucas on November 9, 2011
*Wisconsin Badgers 2012 Fact Book, page 223
*Minnesota Golden Gophers 2013 Media Guide, page 131
Hopefully this settles this. —  dainomite   15:41, 5 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Good research, thanks. I think we'd better go with what the majority of independent sources say, though perhaps the whole thing is worth a footnote or line or two in the article.--Cúchullain t/c 11:15, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you! Well, if in the future there are any reliable sources that talk about the score or win/loss disparity we'll already have a good headstart here for supporting references for inclusion into this article. —  dainomite   12:07, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
