Why my parents are the biggest, most loyal Cyclone fans ever: They recorded episodes of “The Jim Walden Show” in fall 1994. As in, the “oh-fer” season. As in, 0-7-1 and still making an effort to watch the recap of a 34-20 loss to Missouri. (Then they recorded news of Walden’s resignation afterward with three losses yet to come.)
It’s hard to overstate how bad that year was. The “Pivotal Play” in the Iowa game was one of the three fumbles, followed by the interception returned for a touchdown, in a 37-9 loss. These were the highlights.
Everyone else destroyed evidence of this season’s existence long ago. Perhaps that is why it was one of the unlabeled tapes.
