A Memphis Tigers superfan was caught on camera by his daughter cheering on his alma mater in quite possibly the most heartwarming video you may see this weekend. 

Austin Gavin, 76, was jumping up and down, giving out "fast claps," and even getting on his knees in front of his television to beg for baskets from the Tigers as they played the then-No. 13 Clemson during a game on Dec. 16, 2023. 

Gavin, a class of 1971 graduate from Memphis, simply couldn't contain himself throughout the minute-plus video as his daughter, professional poker player Lexy Gavin, captured the scene.

The video of Gavin’s emotional whirlwind begins with him abruptly sitting up in his recliner as he’s watching the game progress. It’s the second half of the contest, with Memphis at home, and the game is very tight on the scoreboard. 

"Come on, baby, come on!" Gavin said to the TV.

He also kicks his leg up multiple times throughout the video, an immediate reaction to the play on the hardwood. He also shows his approval of the Tigers with "fast claps," as Lexy Gavin put it. 

Whenever a big basket is made by the Tigers, Gavin is seen springing from his chair and throwing his fist in the air to celebrate.
