Video seems to show Michigan football coach Jim Harbaugh picking and eating a booger during the Wolverines’ game against Central Florida on Saturday. The Internet has lit up with comments about it, but Harbaugh says it’s not what it appears. On his weekly radio show Monday night, which is heard on 95.7 and 1400 WSJM Sports, the coach denied eating a booger.

“I have never eaten a booger in my entire life,” Harbaugh said as host Jim Branstatter laughed. “It might have looked like that’s what was happening. But you rub your nose and then bite your fingernail, that’s not eating a booger. There was no booger-eating.” The crowd was laughing along with Harbaugh. A TV camera caught the coach with his finger appearing to be in his nose, and then going into his mouth.
