Every June, college baseball fans flood Omaha — and many of them end up at the same place: Rocco’s, home of the now-legendary Jell-O Shot Challenge. This week, we sit down with the team behind the bar to talk about what it’s really like to host the wildest tradition in college baseball.
In the middle of the madness, we get an exclusive update on the leaderboard, swap stories about fan antics and explore how a colorful gimmick turned into a beloved tradition with real community impact.
We explore:
- What it takes to keep up with thousands of fans and tens of thousands of shots
- Why certain schools dominate (and how rivalries play out in Jell-O form)
- A look at how the Jell-O Shot Challenge gives back to the Omaha community
- This year’s leaderboard update + which fanbases are making noise
- What happens after the madness ends
Whether you’re Team LSU, Arkansas or just here for the vibes — this episode unpacks the energy, chaos and behind-the-scenes hustle of one of Omaha’s most iconic MCWS traditions.
