A 24-16 loss to Bill Curry's Wildcats in Lexington. Hopefully that shall remain the only time those are worn by LSU in football.

Maybe it’s just me, but Kentucky has proven to be a thorn in our side throughout the past few decades.

We beat them like 49-7 every time in TS and then lose in Lexington. Weird series.

I might be mistaken, but I think that game was on Tigervision? (or whatever it was called). A lot of people probably didn't see it.

sorry, but those purple pants are a good look.

We wear them in practice all the time.

One reason is because it wasn't on any TV and the age of cell phones had not come into existence. I know they have media pics from the game, obviously, to your point, but I remember listening to it on the radio on my patio off Brightside mad as hell it wasn't on Tigervision or whatever.

They would look better with some white and gold striping down the side of the pants

They just need to add the stripes on the pants. I always like the look of teams that have different color pants from helmets w white jerseys.
Asu looks cool and so does UF w their blue pants and orange helmets.
Fsu w gold helmets and garnet pants as well.

Best will always be gold white gold though.

I have been working with Melvin Hill since August. LSU guy through and through.. down to his ringtone hold that tiger. We have had some conversations about this game and the purple pants. From the brief time I have been working with him and having conversations on a daily basis, he seems to be an awesome individual.

Worst uniform combo ever.
The play on the field matched the attire.

Gerry DiNardo DID NOT bring back the magic in fashion or that night at Kentucky. Terrible fashion statement.

Awful game, but the fit was clean. They need to bring that one back!
