Actually, it was the Leadership Council (players) who told the coach that
they were used to taking a mid-afternoon nap.  

This is getting a LOT of play in the media.  The ESPN Big Ten Blog says a lot 
of schools will be watching this, and if it works out well for the Cats it 
might become part of the game day routine at other schools with late afternoon
or evening games.

I've always wondered what the game day prep has been for schools playing 
night games that start after 8PM local time.  Some of those games don't
end until midnight.
