NobesBLO13 Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 How can you fall asleep on a game as good as that one was
UConn James Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 That was a few seconds. A lot of people close their eyes to visualize --- not the least of which would be football coaches who have to "see" what a formation should be. With eyes open, there's too much stimuli to visualize. Unless there's drooling, snoring or a giant startle-wake, a lot of the stories about X was sleeping during Y is spurious. It often is a tool for concentrating better.

Watch again and look at the coach next to him; it's almost like he didn't buy Capers' cover-up attempt.

Make it look like we meant to flinch/nod the head. Great commentary on the clip by that DVR-savvy Packerfan.

I'm 99-100% sure he fell asleep, even if only for a moment. It was one of those "nano-naps." It's kinda like that move we did when we were kids where you tripped a bit while you were walking...and just in case anyone happened to see it...broke out into a trot...as if the little trip was just your way of kicking it into a higher gear.
