Last year, the city of Columbia, South Carolina and surrounding areas were hit with some of the worst flooding in the history of the state, which caused the Gamecocks to move their home game against LSU to Baton Rouge. The Tigers were very accommodating to the team, even unofficially renaming their stadium to “Williams-Brice Stadium: Baton Rouge edition,” and the Gamecocks are now repaying the favor.
Baton Rouge has been rocked by some of the worst flooding in the city’s history over the last two weeks and the Tigers have been doing all they can to help out. The Gamecocks sent two truck loads of supplies to the city to support the Tigers in their efforts to rebuild their city.

Earlier Saturday morning, South Carolina sent out a special video to the Tigers showing their support and it was pretty touching.
