LSU football superfan Livvy Dunne gives a 1-word reaction to electric atmosphere at Baton Rouge
Livvy Dunne and Paul Skenes were the guest pickers for ESPN’s "College GameDay" in Week 11 of college football action at Baton Rouge. The LSU stars represented the Tigers with the star gymnast choosing them to defeat the Alabama Crimson Tide.
“I mean, a night game in Death Valley?” Dunne said. “There’s only one right answer, and it’s LSU.”
Dunne expressed her excitement and shared the electric environment the fans created at the show. She took it to Instagram to show fans cheering for a shirtless Pat McAfee with a one-worded caption that read:
“O M G”
Dunne made an instant mark at her appearance as she chose to shoot a light-hearted remark at the former Alabama coach Nick Saban.
Livvy Dunne took a shot at Nick Saban at College GameDay
When Nick Saban attended the regular episode of “The Pat McAfee Show” in September, he said that the home atmosphere at Vanderbilt is not as hyped as it is at Alabama.
Saban said that there are always more Alabama fans in the audience than there are to support Vanderbilt. His comments fired the Commoders to beat Alabama 40-35.
While Dunne made her picks at the end of ESPN College GameDay, she threw a jab at Saban.
“Someone once said that Vanderbilt was the easiest place to play in the SEC,” Dunne said. “But not today. I’m going with Vanderbilt.”
All Nick Saban could do was shrug at her statement and smile.
Livvy Dunne and Paul Skenes have become a sports power couple. With the former helping the LSU Lady Tigers win the very first NCAA title and the latter enjoying a successful rookie season with the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Livvy Dunne is set to return to the LSU Lady Tigers gymnastics squad. In July, she put out a post on Instagram announcing her intentions of coming back to her alma mater's gymnastics team.
“Dear LSU, these past four years have changed my life," Dunne wrote. "There is something about putting on a purple and gold leotard. There's something about competing in front of 13,000 screaming tiger fans.
“There's something about being pushed by your coaches to be your very best. And there's something about being part of a team that made school history. And no matter how many opportunities come my way off the mat, there's just something about LSU. And that's why I'm here to say, I'm not done yet.”
Livvy Dunne’s aim is to win another national champion title with LSU. Do you think she will achieve this feat for the second time in her collegiate career?
