Misery Index · Euphoric · ▼ from 49
Up three scores and still litigating the first half, because 5-0 only buys Georgia so much peace.
The emotional rollercoaster
Georgia fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Georgia handled Vanderbilt 38-14 and moved to 5-0, which in Athens counts as a quiet week. The turning point was Vanderbilt daring to score at all, which, as one fan put it, did nothing except "make Kirby mad," and the rest of the afternoon followed accordingly. Misery dropped from 53 to 34, though nobody sounded relieved so much as mildly inconvenienced by the opening stretch: "God forbid we ever actually try and do anything before a half." Winning comfortably still leaves room for grievances.
What fans said
“Only thing vandy scoring did was make Kirby mad. Goodbye loser neutrals”

“Forever worrying about our o-line and secondary. Even they're great most of the time, their tenancy to blow huge plays on occasion is worrying.”

“That’s why the QB sneak was such a weak ass call.”

“Vandy’s offense being light years better than Oklahomas was not on my bingo card.”
