Ja Morant Headed to Omaha: Is the LSU Jell-O Shot Record Safe?

Not only are LSU fans rallying for this year's College World Series in Omaha, they're getting anxious about the arrival of Ja Morant of the Memphis Grizzlies. The internet is buzzing with Morant teasing a trip to cheer on his alma mater, Murray State's baseball team. But for LSU fans, this is more than America's pastime; it's about the sacred 68,888 Jell-O shot record at Rocco's Pizza & Cantina.

For years, the Rocco's Jello Shot Challenge has been a staple of the CWS. LSU fans hold the record for the most Jell-O shots during a CWS, 68,888 shots to be exact. While fans are undoubtedly excited to see the Tigers back in the World Series, there's a growing concern that Ja Morant's presence could lead to a new Jello Shot record.

Online, it's not just the record being broken that people are worried about; others fear what Ja Morant might be like or cause in that environment. Morant's known as a bit of a party guy, and sometimes one who gets suspended for a few games because he can't stop showing off his firearms. It's those traits that make LSU fans worry he could rally enough fans and followers to beat the 68k shot record, but who are we to say he couldn't do it all single-handedly.

The record at Rocco's was set at the 2023 CWS, the last one the LSU Tigers made it to before this one. For Tigers fans, the 68,888 mark is more than just a number; it's a badge of pride and honor. Other fans of the purple and gold team see the CWS championship LSU took home in 2023 as the icing on top of the Jell-O shot record.

Here's to keeping our fingers crossed that Ja Morant isn't stronger than the most diehard fans from Louisiana.
