Jim Harbaugh Recalls Trouble with the Snap: ‘Top 5 Worst Moment of My Life’

If you are still triggered by the Trouble With The Snap, stop scrolling now.

We all know which play we’re talking about. So, if it makes you feel any better: I’m still triggered, too.

Every time that damn play comes up on my timeline, I scroll past it faster than Donovan Edwards running 85 yards in Ohio Stadium.

I refuse to watch it, although I can picture the entire thing in my brain just from memory.

I’ve thought about the million different ways the ball could’ve bounced, if the punter just falls on it, or if a meteor hits the earth at that exact moment and all of life stops.

Any of those options would’ve been better than the actual outcome.

Jim Harbaugh tends to agree with us.

Earlier this week, the former Michigan football coach went on the Pardon My Take podcast 

Harbaugh immediately stopped the conversation and said:

“Let’s not bring it up, let’s not bring it up. I’m not fully over that.” 

Listen, if Jim Harbaugh still isn’t over it, then I don’t have to be either.

It’s something I think I’ll be irrationally mad about for the rest of my life. 

Once again, Harbaugh agrees with us. After diving more into the play itself, he made it clear the lasting damage its memory has on him.

“I mean, top 5 worst thing that’s ever happened to me in my life.”

Now, you have to remember, this is the Jim Harbaugh that is coming off of a National Championship and is now getting paid $16 million to live in Los Angeles, California.

You’d think that with everything he’s got going well for him, he wouldn’t even think about something that happened to him almost a decade ago.

But, that’s a true football guy for you. Sometimes, those losses sting so bad they never leave you. 

Still, with the way his tenure ended in Ann Arbor compared to where Michigan State’s program is at right now, I’d say Harbaugh got the last laugh.
