Wow

And that was at a time we were on a role offensively and were desperate for the defense to get a stop

I don't think he was sleeping per say...I think he just closed his eyes in frustration and anger (I know I do that sometimes) to think about the game and calm down, and then was prodded to reopen his eyes when the cameras were on him. I just can't imagine being able to fall asleep in the middle of that one...especially when you're at the stadium, and you're sitting around a lot of coaches who are communicating with their players.

We should be thankful that picture was snapped. I believe Harlan saw it and it played a role in removing the GM duties

I might have thought that too, but that little jump was the classic nodding off and then waking back up that we've all done during classes, meetings, etc.

I caught that live, but I had convinced myself that I didn't actually see our defensive coordinator sleeping on the job.

Wow. Just wow.

Yep. I've done that in class a lot. It's the "I'm going to go to sleep, but I know I'm going to get in trouble if I get caught sleeping, so I'm still going to sort of be aware that I can't snore or anything and if there's a loud enough noise I'm going to jump out of my seat and rub my eyes really quick so I look like I didn't have my eyes closed."

Especially when there was a movie in class. The teachers wouldn't turn all of the lights off so it wouldn't be completely dark so kids wouldn't sleep and they could keep an eye out for kids messing around. So to act against that you put your head on the desk, one eye would go down into your arms which were crossed and the other eye would peek out towards the direction of the teacher so you could watch to see if they were coming. When the coast was clear you could close your eyes. When you heard footsteps you would quick open your eyes and act like you've been watching the whole time.

Classic maneuvers. I was the best at that.

I remember watching that clip live and thought, "Wow Capers is pissed." I honestly never even considered he was nodding off. I doubt he actually was, but it's a pretty funny video. Mike Sherman on the other hand was definitely sleeping, in fact I bet he was snoring.

Yeah, I was pretty good at it too. Except for the one time during a review session for an exam my soph year at UW. I was in a big lecture hall, pretty much smack dab in the middle. I started to doze off, and it felt like I was falling, so I did that little jump like he did. Only, it wasn't so little, and I yelled out "oh ****" while practically jumping out of my chair. Yeah, good times.

My Freshman year in an 8am Cauc class I knocked my pencil off the table while nodding off, and instead of jerking back when I was startled awake, inexplicably pitched forward, headbutting my table. That was an awkward moment.

Week before winter break this year, slept through almost all of my claasses, because we stopped doing anything useful. Also spent a ridiculous amount of time on Realgm.

I was sleeping during a class, not trying to hide anything. My head was bent back over the chair and my mouth was wide open. When I woke up I found a bunch of little paper balls around my desk, the ground, and on my sweatshirt. None of them made it in my mouth though :D
