College fans welcome LSU players Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes with Jell-O shot celebrations before the College World Series matchup
Laissez les bons temps rouler:
If you're looking for a wild CWS party, look no further than LSU royalty – Olivia Dunne and Paul Skenes! These two were living it up at Rocco's Omaha yesterday, surrounded by a pack of rabid Tiger fans.
Known for their unwavering loyalty to LSU, Dunne and Skenes threw a pre-game bash that consisted of plenty of alcoholic festivities. Skenes, a Pirates pitcher, managed to slip away from his team's travel day and make it to the Tigers-UCLA showdown. After a stellar five shutout innings against the Chicago Cubs, he's not expected to pitch again until the Tigers take on the Detroit Tigers on Thursday.
Dunne, the former LSU gymnast who's as famous for her social media presence as her gymnastic skills, was on hand Saturday when the Tigers bested Arkansas. But they saved their most fun for Rocco's – the home of the famous 'Jell-O Shot Challenge' – where it's safe to say the dynamic duo would've aced the entire challenge between them. Olivia Dunne had no qualms swigging back a few drinks before the game.
As for Paul Skenes, he played a crucial role in LSU's baseball triumph, securing the Most Outstanding Player of the College World Series in 2025. With just two wins left, the LSU Tigers are gunning for a championship series spot, set to begin on Saturday night.
One missing piece from this CWS extravaganza – a cameo by ED Orgeron. Oh well, you can't have it all!
