LSU may have won the 2023 College World Series title on Monday night, but Tigers fans also won an important contest this week in Omaha, Neb.: the CWS Jell-O Shot Challenge.
LSU fans dominated the competition against seven other schools at Omaha’s Rocco’s Pizza, the bar and restaurant where the contest is annually held. The Tigers purchased a record-shattering 68,888 Jell-O shots during the span of the College World Series.
The next closest amount purchased by a specific team’s fandom was 7,622 bought by Wake Forest supporters.
Here’s a breakdown of what the final tally for each school turned out to look like.
Heroes get remembered but legends never die. This year will be talked about for ages. Thanks to the @LSUbaseball faithful and all the fans that made it fun. Thanks to @getjevo for making an absolutely absurd amount of delicious shots. Thank y'all for following along. pic.twitter.com/SmhKubGp7l

Each shot at Rocco’s cost $5, with $1.50 of that going to charity—$1 to a local food bank in the school’s town and 50 cents to Omaha’s Food Bank for the Heartland.
LSU’s Jell-O shot record of 68,888 might seem unbreakable, but observers probably thought that was the case when Ole Miss supporters set the previous record of 18,777 last year.
