MY MISSION ACCOMPLISHED AGAINST GEORGIA

On Saturday, I sat in the corner of the end zone where Jamie Graham made his two sensational touchdown catches over Georgia defenders. After each catch, the fans were whining.

Mission accomplished.

Early in the game, it became clear the Commodores were outmatched. The ridiculously talented Matthew Stafford was throwing darts to the ridiculously talented A.J. Green and handing off to the ridiculously talented Knowshon Moreno and then sitting on the bench and watching his team's ridiculously talented defense fly around the field.

I'm a realist, as most Vanderbilt fans are. So I told a friend then that my goal for the game was that at some point the Georgia fans would be restless and scared they might lose to Vanderbilt. It's really funny to hear cocky, barking fans suddenly whining about Vanderbilt.

And that's what happened in the second quarter when Graham caught his first TD to cut it to 14-7 and then it continued through halftime until Moreno scored to make it 21-7. But then the whining started again after Graham's second TD made it 21-14 and the whining hit a peak when the Dawg kicker hit an upright and Vanderbilt got the ball back with a couple minutes remaining.

And on the post-game radio show, Dawg fans were calling to complain about their team's poor showing and make suggestions about everything from offensive formations to player substitutions.

Finally, Eric Zeier, a broadcaster and Georgia star quarterback of the 1990s, pointed out that Vanderbilt had been the No. 1 team in the SEC East.

But the whining continued.

Mission accomplished.
