I’m dating myself, but back in the early 80’s what is now KGAN had a clever new sports guy. Kind of funny. Maybe a bit like Murphy. Anyway, back then sports guys would give commentary/opinion pieces once a month or so at the end of their sportscast.
Apparently being new, he wasn’t aware and was critical of Hayden. Maybe running up the score on someone. Subsequent to say, I believe they cold shouldered him and he was out shortly after taking the gig. That was right when Iowa had the power and Hayden was afraid to flex it.
