Cloud of cigar smoke envelops Neyland Stadium after Tennessee beats Alabama
Tennessee took care of business against Alabama on Saturday, knocking off the Crimson Tide by a score of 24-17. It was the 2nd time that coach Josh Heupel has beaten Alabama since he took over as the head coach, and the Volunteers moved to 6-1 with the win.
There are many traditions across the college football world to celebrate a big win, and there are some new ones that are beginning to take place.
Cigars have become a big part of celebrations in the Third Saturday in October rivalry series, and they were a big part of the postgame fun in Knoxville as a cloud of cigar smoke took over Neyland Stadium.

The cigar smoke from the stadium turned into an epic photo, and the smoke will be in the air throughout the night as Tennessee fans will be celebrating into the early morning.
Getting the win is a huge outcome for Tennessee, as it gives the Volunteers some breathing room when it comes to making the College Football Playoff. It also gives Tennessee a statement win against a current ranked team, which is something the team had been looking for.
The Volunteers will be off next week, and then will host Kentucky at home on November 2.
Trollllllllllll
Isn’t it interesting:
“For our players, Tennessee was a bigger rivalry than any game we played,” Saban said Saturday on ESPN’s College GameDay. “I’m talking about rivalry games, which are even bigger than Auburn for our players. It was difficult for me to get our players up for the Auburn game. It was never difficult for the Tennessee game.”
Go Vols!
D@mn. I am not a smoker, but I would figure you would need a lot of cigars to make it look like Neyland was on fire.
I am sure its from the fireworks.
That makes a lot more sense. If the fans were smoking that much, you would think they would be asphyxiating themselves.
102,000 people. If half of them half cigars, you’re talking about 51,000 cigars. That would produce a ton of smoke.
That pic is fantastic
I think that was just Hillbilly farts.
Dawgielb…
Isn’t it interesting that the movie “Deliverance” took place in Georgia…
Lol!
Go Vols!
Oh look…we played a complete game tonight. See you chumps in Athens
Dawgs2021 has run out of troll lines since UT just keeps proving him wrong. He even trolls his own team so yeah 2021 you’re right if you beat us in Athens it will be one of the more embarrassing losses we have… please keep showing how stupid you are.
More embarrassing than Arkansas?
Kirkm here’s biggest insult to TN is 1998. Dude got embarrassed so bad he had to change his username. What a douche.
Nothing is more embarrassing than your team having its own holding cell at Athens-Clarke County Jail
Hillbilly farts….ha ha ha ha!!!! Can’t imagine what that cloud of hillbilly farts must have smelled like.
