And actually, the games forfeited don't count as losses, just like they were never played. However you are correct about 2006. Missed that one.

They count as losses. Just not as wins for the other teams. But it's still not a losing season. Great bait for trolls, tho.

It depends which year you are talking about and whether games were "foreited" or "vacated".
Our 1993 wins for forfeited. We "went" 1-12.
Our 2005 wins were vacated. We "went" 0-2.
Our 2006 wins were vacated. We "went" 0-7.
Our 2007 wins were vacated. We "went" 2-6.

The 1993 forfeited games do count as losses. The 2005, 2005, and 2007 vacated games don't count as losses.

Originally LSU official colors were blue and white. Not far from their current color scheme. However, there are a few stories surrounding how LSU went from blue and white to Purple & Gold. It is believed that the purple and gold were first worn by an LSU team in the spring of 1893 when the LSU baseball squad beat Tulane in the first intercollegiate contest played in any sport by Louisiana State University. Team captain E.B. Young reportedly hand-picked those colors for the LSU squad. In another story, Ruffin G. Pleasant, LSU quarterback, future band director and future Louisiana governor, along with football coach Charles E. coates changed LSU’s official school colors. It is said that later in 1893, the first football game was played. On November 25, 1893, football coach/chemistry professor Dr. Charles Coates and some of his players went and purchased ribbon to adorn their gray jerseys as they prepared to play the first LSU football game. Stores were stocking ribbons in the colors of Mardi Gras—purple, gold and green—for the coming Carnival season. However, none of the green had yet arrived at Reymond’s Store at the corner of Third and Main streets in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Coates and quarterback Ruffin Pleasant bought up all of the purple and gold stock and made it into rosettes and badges.
Our original colors were blue and white.

Only 3 schools in the FBS use the H style goal posts:
Us, FLorida State, and Washington State are the only teams that use the "H style"
quote:
LSU: The reason LSU switched back to the "H-style" goal posts was tradition. The Tigers had always entered the field running under the cross bar of the goal posts before 1984. "That was the reason we kept the ‘H-style' for so long, all the way up until the ‘80s, so the team could actually run through the goal posts," Vincent said. "It's just tradition."
