South Carolina assisting Louisiana flood victims

South Carolina didn't forget LSU's generosity last fall.

The Gamecocks will be sending items of need like diapers, baby formula, and canned food to Baton Rouge to assist people displaced from their homes after recent floods hit the area.

"LSU was so gracious to assist us in our time of need," school president Harris Pastides said. "Now it is our turn to help our SEC friends. I encourage all Gamecocks to drop off items needed for the Baton Rouge flood relief."

The Gamecocks dealt with heavy flooding last year, and LSU ended up hosting a game between the two that was originally supposed to be in South Carolina.

The Tigers then donated all the proceeds from the contest back to the relief efforts, and running back Leonard Fournette auctioned off his jersey from the contest, with proceeds going to the victims.
