Greg McElroy makes surprising pre-NIL revelation of cigar tradition in Alabama vs Tennessee

Greg McElroy is back involved with the Third Saturday in October but this time as a broadcaster. The former Alabama quarterback has plenty of experience facing Tennessee during his playing days, never dropping one against the Vols. Plenty of cigars were smoked by McElroy to celebrate the victory.

Turns out, McElroy was the one purchasing cigars before becoming the starter. ESPN play-by-play commentator Sean McDonough revealed backup quarterbacks were the ones to buy cigars back in the day. McElroy confirmed, saying there were no NIL deals to support them either.

“Back in the pre-NIL days, that was the way things worked,” McElroy said on Saturday from Neyland Stadium. “So yeah, I had to buy them for a few years. But what a great game and special tradition.”
