What is so great is that Alabama played well, unbevievable well.

And we beat them!

Phenomenal game.   One of the best in NCAA history.

I am so happy, smoking a cigar tonight, the first tobacco in 17 years.

I bought 3 today, just in case we won.  For a while I thought I wouldn't have a reason to fire one up.  

But I DID.   So happy tonite.

Refs spotted em 7 when  they called PI on us when it was offensive PI.

We gave away 14 ourselves.  The receiver quit his route and the fumble for 6.

Just think we get our DBS back and Tillman

Bama helped with so many penalties and that botched punt return.
What a fun game!
Never got so many text messages from around the world before.
Seems everyone was watching.
And yes, I had a cigar as well….it tasted good, but victory tasted better.

I noticed a lot of cigar related posts.  Is this a bama-tenn tradition or just something in general?

Alabama-Tennessee cigar tradition: Explaining why winner smokes after 'Third Saturday in October'

https://www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-football/news/alabama-tennessee-cigar-tradition-winner-smokes/mkdoa2scwkmcvm1x8oulmdnn

The tradition has become a bit lopsided in recent years, but the practice of smoking a cigar following a victory in the "Third Saturday in October" rivalry is one shared by both the Crimson Tide and Volunteers. And it will be on full display again after Saturday's game.

Legend holds that longtime Alabama athletic trainer Jim Goostree, also a former trainer at Tennessee, made a bet to the Crimson Tide in 1961: If they beat the Volunteers outright for the first time since 1954, then he would dance naked in the locker room following the victory.

No. 5 Alabama won 34-3 over the Volunteers in Birmingham, Ala., and Goostree fulfilled his end of the bargain — with a victory cigar in tow. Players wanted to celebrate the victory too, beginning what would become one of the more distinct traditions in college football history.

According to a 2020 feature by ESPN's Alex Scarborough, Goostree would pack a couple boxes of Tampa Nugget cigars in the case of an Alabama victory over Tennessee. If they lost, he would return them to the drug store and get his money back.

I guess I never heard of it, but I never watched much SEC football until after A&M joined in 2012.  I would watch a few games here and there but not much UT or Bama.
