Alabama fans light up cigars early, leaving Bryant-Denny Stadium awfully hazy

It was a bit dicey at times for Alabama fans, but at the end of Saturday’s rivalry game against Tennessee, the Crimson Tide had taken over.

Alabama earned a comfortable 52-24 win over the Vols, but the first half was anything but comfortable for Nick Saban’s squad.

But, midway through the fourth quarter, Alabama fans had seen enough, lighting up their victory cigars and covering Bryant-Denny Stadium in a layer of smoke:

“It looks like fireworks went off here with all the haze, but it’s cigar smoke,” ESPN’s Jason Benetti said during the broadcast.

That marks 15 straight wins for the Tide in the rivalry, so you’ll forgive fans if they want to celebrate a little early in this game.
