Locker Room Issues?

Heupel hasn't lost control of the locker room yet. But something is brewing in there and it ain't good. I'd likely say there is no discipline back there right now. That Gator QB getting blasted while on a knee was just uncalled for and I would hope that Heupel would man up with maybe a half game suspension or otherwise to try and get things in order. That sort of thug behavior can spread fast and the whole team will be undisciplined. There ain't no call for that crap

May be so. But I thinks it’s more likely we are just void of talent in many spots. Particularly in the secondary and O line

This^ we were missing Mays badly also missing Pili badly on D our Oline especially the replacements were not ready for the Big stage and probably never will be put us in bad down& distance all night. If we don't get a healthy Cooper Mays back this O will be stagnant vs SEC teams. We also had some penalties that were at the worst times, had a few no calls and a few questionable (Castle block on long gain)that would have helped but you have to live with that, happens every game. Just hope the SEC grades & rates the refs every game and rewards the ones that are top notch with playoff and Bowl games. The teams and fans deserve that.

I think CJH needs to have a 'closed door meeting' with every player to maybe find out what the issue is with this team. Something is definitely wrong here. I've watched most all of the players make outstanding plays, so, to me, it's not all on the players.

Except Mertz want down. So saying it was uncalled for is wrong in saying Thomas needs to be suspended. He was slowly trying to knee and Thomas finished the play.

McCullough and Hadden are awful. I've never seen someone refuse to wrap up. The bump to Etienne on the 62 yard TD is inexcusable. He should've been on the bench for the rest of the game after that.

Hadden bump is inexcusable. Showed he’s not as strong as he thought he was.

Just rewatched Heupel’s post game conference.

Reading his body language, he doesn’t seem calm and collected. Almost as if there’s some sort of distraction going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about. He looks upset.

I’m not excusing the poor performance but something is definitely going on with the teams’ chemistry.

I think NIL is causing issues in alot of locker rooms.

If you're gonna claim this bullcrap then why aren't the other d klinemen and lbs on the bench as well?
Should have been tackled before he even got to the backside cb
Not defending him just saying your logic is stupid
Safety also came in to tackle while looking at the dirt

Seems that way
It's also causing the teams that should be dominating (or at least we have become accustomed to seeing) to struggle some bc now the talent is being spread out more than just being concentrated on 5 teams

The team played like garbage. They half-assed most of the game, on both sides of the ball. The officials continued their How Far Will I Go national tour. And you are suprised he looked upset?

Stop with the officials. Bad calls? Yes. But we looked like garbage and there’s no way to spin it. We looked terrible minus one single drive to start the game. I have had my share of games where I thought it may have been swung by officials. This is not one.

Yeah, let's give Kirk Herbstreit fodder to start another unfounded rumor in the national media about the Tennessee locker room.

If you're going to lose and make mistakes, you don't do it with seniors who are slow and not SEC caliber. If I'm going to take my lumps, I'm doing it with an eye on next season.

Seems as though the standard reply is always "I'm doing it with an eye on next season", but never this season!

Wow, didn't realize we had so many psychologists on the board.

Try not to dislocate your shoulders with the reaching.

I put a call into my man Jordan Peterson to see what he thinks but havent heard back yet...

FWIW... My son is a practicing clinical psychologist working on his masters and he is pretty certain that its just the obvious issues like the perennial worst secondary in the SEC and a struggling offensive line....
