LSU Fans Rescue Wisconsin Man From Drowning In Milwaukee River

A couple of LSU fans came to the rescue of Wisconsin man who had fallen into the Milwaukee River on Monday, according to The Advocate.

The group was up in Wisconsin for LSU's season opener and happened to be at a restaurant on the Milwaukee Riverwalk when they heard a woman screaming around 4pm on Monday.

"It took three men to get him out," Jill Dunlap said. "The whole place started cheering. The man (who was rescued) started crying and he's like, 'I'm not a good swimmer and I appreciate what you did,'" she said.

Jill Dunlap said she doesn't know the name of the man who fell in the river but said he was a local. The Milwaukee Police Department did not respond to a call late Monday for more information.

"(The crowd) was like, 'Where are y'all from?' Of course, it's 'You guys.' It was very cool," she said. "Finally something good came out of this trip."
