Ugh! I remember listening to the game on the radio at work (senior in HS working at Nooleys in Central).

Not just purple but that awful 90s metallic look. I'm sure they could come up with something better with modern uniform templates but I still don't think I'd like it. LSU in purple pants just doesn't make any sense.

I remember watching that game at Triple A off Bennington back in the day trying to decide what was uglier, the game or the unis. Terrible Terrible Terrible game.

It’s like literally one of our colors, I think that’s all you need for it to make sense.

I kind of like it, but it looks wrong for LSU to wear purple pants

Those were terrible. It can done with purple pants but you need to go with a purple helmet like the Minnesota Vikings wear on the road at times. The Washington Huskies also wear purple pants on the road but with their gold helmet and it is a good look.

I actually wouldn’t mind a purple top/purple pant/gold helmet combo

Gabe Northern said it best, "If we would have won, the fans would have loved the purple pants."

Love the purple pants, win that game, and we’d be wearing them once a season. Purple is one of the main colors, guess what I also love the purple jerseys.

Was one of the worst games in LSU history. Also, I’m damn old. Remember this debacle like it was yesterday

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't mind the purple pants. I like switching up the uniform and that doesnt look bad.

I agree with the sentiment, that if we had won the game, no one would care about the pants.

Jamie Howard got hurt near the end of the Florida game a week earlier and didn't play. Herb Tyler started the North Texas State game after the Kentucky game. I think Melvin Hill started that Kentucky fiasco.
