I mean ... we could use a win most games...

But we really need this one.
I always thought the season would pivot on the five games beginning with Nebraska. We're an unfortunate 0-for-1 so far.

I'd argue that we could use a win every game and IF we won every game for lets say, an entire season, we'd all be very happy and supportive of the team.
We REALLY needed that win with New Mexico State because if we had lost it would have been a pretty big pivot
Honest question, does it really matter in the long run if we win this game? This season was a developmental year to me, nothing more. Gain experience for the younger players and gear up for 2019 and beyond. Bonus if we squeaked in at 6-6 and get to a bowl game for what, so you can relive the halcyon days of 2008's Insight Bowl or the thrilling 2015 Quick Lane Bowl victory over the Chippewas? Yes there are 15 extra practices allowed with bowl eligibility but that does nothing for me as a fan. Ten years from now very few will remember 2018 football season. Historically Gopher football is a program that will have a once-in-a-decade "special" season ala 1999, 2003 or 2014 and that is still my expectation.

Thank you, PJ
To answer the question yes, it matters.

Traveling down from Fargo, with a BiZon fan and meeting up with two buddies who are bandwagon gopher fans. My first time at TCF. Here’s to a first conference win in the rain!

There's a bandwagon this year? I mean we'll take all the fans we can get, but I didn't think this would be a year to pick up bandwagon fans.
