The cafeteria at work or anywhere in the greater New Orleans area? But several players, I suppose, would have preferred the cafeteria. Go figure.

At least they don't charge their players to eat there like the Cardinals. LOL!

As Flau'jae Johnson said after the Tigers victory over UCLA yesterday "I be in the gym." For players looking to give 110%, its good to have the option for dinner in the cafeteria, not because they prefer it, but because they are always working to be better and its hard to work out, practice solo drills, and watch tape somewhere out of the way.

Also, it does not make sense that an F grade could be based on a feature most players don't use, as it would not be an F if an equal number of B's and C's were averaged in. Probably there are a lot of complaints ranging from hours to food quality, decor, maybe the dishwashing machine is getting old and missing spots and the fridge sometimes overheats on warm days.

The main complaint according to an article on it was the lack of third meal specifically. The feature wasn't used because it wasn't available, thus the grade. If only a few players answered that question it doesn't take much to affect the grade. That's been one of the caveats of the survey. Sometimes ONLY the squeaky wheels are heard in all categories. That said, the food has been provided by a food service and not area chefs and the facilities have been in the plans to be overhauled for a couple of years anyway.
