Alabama fans' cigars light up Bryant-Denny Stadium
Alabama fans had plenty to celebrate after defeating the Tennessee Volunteers on Saturday.
The game was ugly at first, with the Tide falling into a 20-7 hole at halftime. However, the Vols would fail to score any points after that, and the Tide would end up getting a 34-20 victory.
In traditional fashion for the victor of the Third Saturday in October, Bama fans were quick to bust out the cigars.

The cigar tradition has been around since about 1961. Ever since that time, the winner of this rivalry game partakes in cigar smoking.
Last season, the Vols got to partake in the tradition for the first time since 2006. This season, however, the Tide were able to get the win and enjoy their victory cigars.
The Tide will have a bye week now with a game against the LSU Tigers next on the docket.
