In trying to create demand for a product, scarcity is a wonderful tool.
For Gophers athletics, it’s an unfortunate byproduct of a football reality — but one administrators are taking full advantage of nonetheless with Paul Bunyan’s Axe.

The department announced this week a plan for a revamped “Coaches Caravan” at which several high-profile coaches will make four stops around Minnesota.

As part of those ticketed events in Owatonna (May 21), Dellwood (May 22), Chaska (May 28) and Alexandria (June 12), fans can take pictures with Paul Bunyan’s Axe.

The Axe will also make a separate nine-stop tour in greater Minnesota throughout June as the U attempts to reacquaint the state’s population with the traveling trophy awarded to the winner of the annual football game between the Gophers and Badgers.
