Sarkisian described it as the “tradition” after winning at Neyland Stadium.

Not your tradition jackass.

Exhibit #5, 348, 691 in the case for why letting Texas into the SEC was a mistake.

When Saban brought Sark's drunk-arse into Alabama's Coaches Rehab Program, he was semi comatose for a couple of years, so when he came back around he had forgotten that the "cigar" tradition was just a Tide/Vol thing.
I'm pretty sure a UT fan will whisper that info in his ear soon.

Maybe it's just me but I think it's funny.

You're right, it is, it's against Tennessee but Sark having his team do that is kind of awkward and cringey.

Same here...what would be a better way to piss tenn fans off than do what their most hated rivals do to them when tenn loses? I like it...the more people that smoke cigars after playing tenn the better.

I got zero issues with this. Hope they played Dixieland Delight too. Anything that rubs salt in Tennessee’s wounds gets my stamp of approval.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. No problem with that for me but the originators should always be given credit.

I see nothing wrong with this. I'm all for rubbing it in the Vols' face, especially after them cheating (which seems to happen while playing at Neyland) on that onside kick and still losing the game. Sark coached at Alabama and obviously knows the tradition. He should rub it in their face. It's an Alabama tradition by a former Alabama coach. No issue whatsoever.

How'd they cheat? I did not know you could free kick an onside kick.

I wished everyone would smoke cigars in Neyland after beating Vols.

The kicker was a yard further back than he legally was supposed to be and he changed his lateral position after the signal ready to play. Both are illegal. The refs threw a flag originally but picked it up. Should have been a 5 yard penalty with a rekick.

if other teams start doing it, eventually the powers that be will stop everybody from doing it.
