Have We Had the Nutrition discussion here?

I know all over the web, talk of the lack of a training table, a real training table, at ND has been hashed over.

Now I see talk by Bert Berry about how ND needs to get into shape. And he's right, we've got a small defense. It needs to be able to add "and fast" to "small" in order to be successful in this scheme. Otherwise it'll just be "small and easy to block."

I can't help but notice that Marrotti, a guy I dealt with during my time and ND (and, quite frankly, liked quite a bit), seems to be having a great deal of success with putting out a highly conditioned team at Florida. But at ND, if I recall correctly, there was a lot of griping about his ability to do his job. Then again, I also know that Davie couldn't seem to make up his mind about how he wanted the team shaped either.

Still, I also know that Marrotti was always very concerned about the lack of a true nutrition program at ND for all of the athletes, not just the football players.

I guess my question for the board is this: Do you feel the lack of a training table and full-blown nutrition program is hindering ND's ability to compete on the field? (We'll save talk about whether or not such a program would hurt the real intergration of the athletes with the student body for a later date.)
