John Lennon wrote "I'm A Loser" during a period when he and his bandmates were spending a lot of time listening to country music, specifically Buck Owens and George Jones.

Yeah, that's right. The Beatles loved them some Possum.

Years later, when asked about the song, Lennon admitted the lyrics were personal. "Part of me suspects that I'm loser," he said. "And the other part of me thinks that I'm God Almighty."

"I'm A Loser" debuted on BBC Radio on Nov. 17, 1964. Just three days earlier, SMU, with a record of 1-6, marched into Fayetteville, Arkansas, to take on the third-ranked Razorbacks. Hayden Fry was in his second year at the helm of the Mustangs and facing his old boss, Frank Broyles. A couple weeks earlier, they'd given sixth-ranked Texas a scare in a 7-0 loss, so there was reason for hope.

That didn't last long. SMU lost 44-0 and finished the year 1-9. Arkansas finished 11-0 and won the national championship.

Funny stuff. A John Lennon-themed Bottom 10.

Good stuff.  Thanks for posting, I enjoyed it!  The Beatles, The Hogs, 1964, The National Championship, The Hayden Fry who coached Bret Bielema, an interesting confluence of events that I found enjoyable because I like all of those topics.

Frank got a ton of limbs on his Coaching Tree.

Frank - Hayden Fry - Bret.
