The ref camera view of Jim Harbaugh is just too much, but it became an instant meme

Jim Harbaugh

College football fans watching Saturday’s Big Ten championship game got an up-close shot of Jim Harbaugh. Like, really up close. Too up close.

During the No. 2 Michigan-Purdue conference title game in Indianapolis, the FOX broadcast cut to a shot of the Wolverines coach — only it wasn’t a typical shot. It was a view from the angle of the camera attached to the hat of a line judge, according to the broadcast.

It was kind of cool and a little frightening but also an interesting shot of what it’s like to be a game official with a head coach in your face. Actually, it’s terrifying, but it was met with mixed reviews from fans on Twitter.

A little extra sympathy goes out to refs who regularly have coaches far more irate than Harbaugh (in this moment) screaming in their faces after a call.

And unsurprisingly, Twitter turned this one into an instant meme.

But plenty of fans were convinced this image would be in their nightmares.
