Alabama players, coaches celebrate win over Tennessee with victory cigars

It was played on the fourth Saturday in October instead of the third, but a win over rival Tennessee still results in a traditional postgame cigar for Alabama players.

Various photos were shared on social media of Alabama players and staffers lighting up after a 48-17 victory on Rocky Top. Crimson Tide head coach Nick Saban doesn’t smoke himself, but he’s certainly accustomed to the smell that comes after UA-UT games. Alabama has not lost to Tennessee since Saban was hired in 2007.

Here are the photos, and a video from Tino Sunseri, of the postgame festivities around Neyland Stadium:
