Nothing captured the emotional rollercoaster that was the Alabama fan’s journey through the Tide’s 27-24 win over Auburn in the 2023 Iron Bowl better than a 104-second viral video.

From frustration to elation. Throw in nervous energy only to be countered by hysterical jubilation. Fist flew and so did a couple of T-shirts.

There was Joshua Tucker, 31, of Midland City, Alabama, playing the game with his Alabama Crimson Tide. Each down was the biggest play until, of course, the next snap of the ball.

And his wife, Mia, documented it all. She posted it for the college football-watching world to see and react to. Many said they could relate.

Others found the language he used offensive. People were in awe of the number of punches he threw that found only air, missing the walls and television. He was, at least for the game and the days following, the personification of the SEC’s slogan: It just means more.

The rest is, as they say, viral history. Hundreds of thousands of people have viewed the video. And it shows no signs of slowing down.

“I lost it,” Tucker told AL.com on Sunday when Jalen Milroe hit Isaiah Bonds on fourth-and-31 for Alabama’s game-winning touchdown. “People talk about my language. Hey, I was hyped, man. If my kids get bad language from me, I’m OK with that. I don’t really care. It was just one of those things where I was really hyped in the moment. I was completely lost in that moment.”

Since it was posted Barstool Sports has shared the video. The SEC Network has called. It has been complete chaos – in a good way – for Tucker.

“He’s been like this every season, but I just started filming him this season,” Mia Tucker told AL.com on Monday. “I just thought it was funny.”

The father of three daughters has been an Alabama fan his whole life. No, he didn’t graduate from the school. Instead, he was born in 1992 – the year Gene Stallings led the Crimson Tide to a national championship in the Sugar Bowl over Miami in New Orleans. Tucker’s father bought his newborn son an Alabama letterman jacket that year. He gifted the jacket to Tucker when he was 17.

“It has been a sentimental thing in my family,” Tucker said. “We all got together on Saturdays and watched the games. It was always a big camaraderie thing for us. Die hard in my family.”

The ritual continues today. Perhaps on a different level. Tucker admits there were moments Saturday he believed the emotional rollercoaster was going to end on a low note.

“Right before the bad snap went back, I was really losing it in my head like, ‘Damn, we’re really going to lose to Auburn here,’” he said. “Then, moneyman Milroe, baby, drops back and puts it on a dime in the back of the end zone. Like, you can’t throw that ball any better. That moment, everything dude, was just like the football gods aligned for us to win that game. It was wild.”

The key to Alabama’s fortunes, many believe, was Tucker’s tradition of changing jerseys when the team needs a spark.

So with about five minutes left in the game, he made the call. He shed the Derrick Henry jersey and rocked the Tua Tagovailoa No. 13.

Next thing you know, Auburn’s Koy Moore fumbled a punt. Alabama’s Jihaad Campbell recovered at the Auburn 30 with 4:48 to play. The Tide was back in business. Eleven plays later, history was made.

“It’s a ritual,” he said. “I change the jersey if things are going bad. I have a Tua (Tagovailoa) jersey. That’s my magic jersey. I was wearing my Derrick Henry jersey and felt like it was time we needed some magic. And, boy, did we need some Tua magic. It’s ironic that 10 years from the anniversary of the Kick Six, I was switching to the Tua jersey and moneyman Milroe throws one on a dime like Tua did (on second and 26 to DeVonta Smith for the CFP national championship).

“It’s the jersey change. Yeah, low-key, I think it is.

The reaction to the video has been overwhelming, he said. He has monitored most of it. Tucker is here for it all.

“Everybody says I threw 47 punches and didn’t hit anything and that was impressive,” he said of the comments. “It kind of was. It was a funny comment I saw. I never broke anything. I have screamed and yelled. I hit the counter. Never punched a hole in the wall. Never hit the TV.”

Mia Tucker confirms no innocent furniture or electronics have been harmed during Alabama football games.

“This was a little bit more, but he is pretty much like this every game,” she added.

She admits she thought “he was a little crazy” when she got a front-row seat years ago but now it’s just another Saturday.

Interestingly enough, his reaction to the aforementioned Kick Six was the opposite of what you would think. He said he walked straight home, went to bed and didn’t speak to anybody.

“I just couldn’t believe it,” he said of the 2013 Iron Bowl loss. “I was so in shock.”

He has never broken anything, except the Internet.

“It kind of blew up,” he said. “Twitter has been very active today. I’ve been loving it. It’s been a wild run.”

Tucker doesn’t believe the ride will end yet. He has Alabama beating Georgia in the SEC Championship Game on Saturday.

“Hot take,” he said. “If Bama wants to win the SEC championship, one thing we are going to have to do is get to Carson Beck. He’s only been sacked seven times this whole season. So that means their offensive line is doing a great job. We want to get back there and force bad throws and get stops on third down. We have to pressure him. If he has time, he might pick us apart. But, if we can apply pressure, we have Chris Braswell and Dallas Turner on the edge. Those are top-5 pass rushers in the league … We need those guys to be the guys Saturday for us.”

His prediction?

Alabama 34, Georgia 31.

He’s calling for a late Jalen Milroe touchdown.

“The committee won’t keep Nick Saban at home with a one-loss conference champion,” he added. “Nick Saban and Alabama will be in if they beat Georgia.”

Stay tuned for potential jersey changes.
