Oklahoma may have won the College World Series, but they finished a distant second to West Virginia in the Rocco’s Jello Shot Challenge.
Yahoo Sports said Mountaineers fans purchased 28,221 Jello shots in the annual contest hosted by Rocco’s Pizza and Cantina, across the street from the stadium in Omaha.
“Charitable endeavor: Rocco’s has hosted the challenge since 2019, when the winning tally was a mere 864 (well done, Arkansas). And each year, $1.50 of every $5 shot is donated to a local food bank (one in Omaha and one associated with each of the eight schools in the CWS). That means this year they collectively raised $122,273 for charity. The number of shots purchased by UNC fans was not mentioned.
