Ever wondered what it would be like to have the complete Jim Harbaugh reference experience, from the enthusiastic, unblinking eyes staring at you to the relentlessly agape mouth?
For some reason, Fox decided that the country’s answer to that question should be yes. It was only a matter of time before Mr. Harbaugh was ejected as officials wore hat-his cameras at the 2022 Michigan-Purdue Big 10 championship game.
So Fox Sports decided to replay the feed, as any network does, to give viewers the full face of one of the country’s most constantly raging coaches.
Unforgettable.
In all fairness to Harbaugh, few look normal when recorded during an altercation and televised in slow motion, but the Michigan coach took the weirdness to another level. It’s not just anger, it’s a stare, the feeling that he’s slowly moving towards you without knowing what will happen when he gets to his destination.
Many Twitter users were certainly unnerved by what they saw:
I know how difficult the job of civil servants is.
Even with the nation pushing back against him, it was still a good night for Harbaugh. Virtually guaranteed seed.
