This was brought up in a past Walden thread, but he had a player who would where a different color helmet during the game based upon past performance from the previous week. Coach Switzer from Oklahoma would tell his players to hit the player extra hard

That was not Walden, that was Criner.

How did Bruce ever win with the facilities he had?

Easy a Brand New Stadium and New Locker Rooms......The new Cyclone Stadium even had Artificial Turf instead of a Grass Field....Earle Bruce was really pushing for new artificial turf, they even sent out a mailer to all the ticket buyers to solicit funds for the new Artificial Turf.....

On the right is Krista Kurth (Gorsche) she went to Urbandale 1985 I think. I don’t know the other 2.

I remember not winning many games but killing it at tailgating. Still rock the tailgating & now we have a team.
