Best uni in football.



eta....must be a generational thing, though. I'm a 1980's origin fan. Hodson to Fuller was in purple.

I thought that USED to be the rule. Didn't they change it so that the home team gets to choose?


I think the rule changed for SEC games only that the home team can choose.

1986, 1988 and some other year you spent drunk, apparently.

LSU had the best SEC record among eligible teams in 1984.

It's Spurrier being Spurrier. He used to put us in purple in Gainesville when he was the coach at UF. Since this is a "road" game for the Tigers, the same principle applies.

So then did everybody just give up on sticking it to us?

We're sure not going to lose on Saturday either. I think this will be the easiest win so far this year.

I read this was supposed to be their White Out game, so we were going to wear purple anyway.

Maybe beat them by about 20, instead of 27. I always take off a touchdown when they show up in purples.

It makes no sense why a program with as many assets as LSU doesn't have yellow jerseys... why do we need to sweat it out in dark jerseys when we could've had yellow which would've been much cooler?

I know in Baseball and Softball, they call their gold jerseys, Championship Gold. Maybe football can get one set for one game per year. I'm ok with it.

Honestly I only care in regards to the huge heat disadvantage that a black Saints or purple LSU jersey brings.

both the Saints and LSU should have aternate jerseys of a softer shade of gold and yellow respectively (similar to how Panthers have baby blue for such circumstances).

Baseball wears white pants with gold jerseys. Gold on gold looks terrible. We've proven that.

For anyone thinks there's a material temperature difference to white v purple in October, youre overthinking it.

it was hot as frick that day.

we got lucky blocking a field goal in 4th qt. to save a tie.

but it was as loud as any night game. "speilman sucks" and "snow sucks" chants were deafening.
