Men's College World Series: LSU won't beat Rocco's Jell-O shot challenge record, but still dominates ahead of finals vs. Coastal Carolina

The Men's College World Series finals starts on Saturday, but LSU is already on its way to a crucial win. The school is once again dominating the competition in the Rocco's Jell-O shot challenge. With only the finals left to play, LSU holds a 23,000-shot lead over finalist Coastal Carolina. As of Friday night, LSU fans have consumed an incredible 30,577 Jell-O shots during the College World Series. That's nearly 22,000 more than the second-place Arkansas fan base has downed in Omaha. Chanticleers fans may be able to finish as the runner-up, but they have some work to do, currently in fourth place with 7,509 shots. While that number should increase during the finals, Rocco's Pizza and Cantina — which hosts the competition each year — didn't expect to see a ton of movement on its board Thursday or Friday with no games scheduled. Advertisement LSU and Coastal Carolina will square off in a best-of-three series starting Saturday. Game 2 of the series will be held Sunday. If a Game 3 is necessary, it will be played Monday. That gives LSU and Coastal Carolina fans five more days — at most — to run up this year's total. Rocco's Pizza and Cantina in Omaha started the Jell-O shot challenge in 2019. During the College World Series, fans of any of the eight teams in the tournament can buy $5 Jell-O shots as a show of support for their team. The fan base that consumes the most Jell-O shots "wins" the competition. Rocco's does donate a portion of each Jell-O shot to food banks. Rocco's Jell-O shot challenge record LSU is no stranger to dominating the event. The school holds Rocco's all-time record. In 2023, the LSU fan base consumed an incredible 68,888 Jell-O shots. Despite LSU still being in the 2025 College World Series, the record seems untouchable this year. As LSU has shown in the past, however, the school can't be counted out. Even if a new record won't be set in 2025, you can bet LSU fans will do their best to bump up their final tally before the College World Series ends.
