Rockin' Football Facts: No. 3

Loser's Blues

Wake Forest's Demon Deacons were so bad in the mid-1970s, they once went on a run of losses with scores of 31-0, 63-0, 55-0 and 47-0. Such ineptitude inspired Steely Dan's Donald Fagen to write the lyric "They got a name for the winners in the world/I want a name when I lose/They call Alabama the Crimson Tide/Call me Deacon Blues."
