The University of Alabama football team celebrated their recent 2016 National College Football Championship over Clemson Tigers by lighting up some fine cigars.
US news stations showed the winning Crimson Tide football players mock-interviewing star quarterback Jake Coker whilst he is holding a cigar whilst team mates around him enjoy their preferred choice of smoke. Footage shows the inside of the smoky Alabama dressing room before panning back round to the quarterback as he is lighting his cigar before posing happily with team mates.
The Crimson Tide may have developed a taste for premium cigars after this year’s “Third Saturday In October” rivalry matchup between Alabama and Tennessee. The historic rivalry carries with it a longstanding tradition of celebrating a victory over the University of Tennessee with post-game cigars. Though the tradition had begun to fade in recent years, Alabama whole-heartedly embraced the cigar celebration with a highly publicized display after the 2015 rivalry matchup at Bryant-Denny Stadium.
Although the NCAA strictly prohibits use of tobacco, coaches and players will occasionally celebrate on-field victories with cigars, taking on any ensuing fines with pride as they have come to represent a badge of honour among those concerned with NFL.
