Can we get a big Rammer Jammer on this? An Alabama dad and Crimson Tide fan had plenty of Christmas cheer, and a widely viewed YouTube video captured the moment.

Overwhelmed with happiness, his reactions included, "Hot Diggity Dog." The ticket and hat were gifts from Buckhannan's son, Daniel Buckhannan of Oxford, Ala., who posted the video to YouTube.
