Contribute to the Rocco's Jello Shot Challenge from afar ...

[ThatVolGuy]

Some of you have probably seen this already, but I thought I'd make a separate thread to give it some more visibility.

The Volunteer Club is, of course, thinking way ahead of everybody else by giving Vol fans a chance to contribute to the Rocco's Jello Shot Challenge from a distance—check it out. The cost is $10, with $5 being allocated to the collective and $5 going toward the challenge.

I've done my part a couple times already. Not sure we can match LSU's insane 68,000+ total, but we can certainly try.

It’s a great promo for trying to get more involvement with the Vol Club. But, frankly, fans should just send $10 straight to Vol Club so all $10 goes to NIL rather than $5 going to Rocco’s for a meaningless Jell-O Shot challenge.

Still, I admire the creativity for getting people to donate.

Rocco's does donate around $1.50 from each shot to charity, but otherwise I agree with your sentiment, which is why I hope they (VC) release some more Omaha shirseys. I missed out on the 2XLs before they sold out.

Edit: as of 10:07 CST they're back in stock.

Not to be flippant, but the challenge does result in a lot of money being donated to food banks local to the schools participating in the CWS. I believe it was over $140,000 last year.

As of last night Tennessee is almost at #3 all time.

Taken from the article: Each Jell-O shot is sold for $5 with $1 from each shot going to a local food bank connected to the school and another 50 cents from each shot going toward the Heartland Food Bank in Omaha.

This sounds suspiciously like, "Buy me a drink, sailor?" ...from how many hundreds of miles away?

A lot! Omaha is somewhat landlocked.

TAMU making that push.

We keep winning, we might pass Ole Miss. Not sure we can catch LSU.
