Olivia Dunne, LSU gymnasts work at Raising Cane's
Olivia Dunne and other members of the LSU gymnastics team worked a shift at Raising Cane's on Tuesday in celebration of their national title.
If you win a title, Raising Cane's is the place to celebrate.
Super Bowl champions Mecole Hardman and L'Jarius Sneed, Slam Dunk Contest winner Mac McClung, and NCAA women's basketball champions South Carolina Gamecocks all worked the drive-thru to celebrate, and now Olivia Dunne and the LSU women's gymnastics team are following suit.
The Tigers won its first NCAA title in program history Saturday, and Dunne joined her boyfriend, Pittsburgh Pirates pitching prospect Paul Skenes, as an LSU national champion.

"I have so many memories at Cane’s coming here with my teammates after a fun night," Dunne said after their event on Tuesday. "We ate at Cane’s yesterday after coming back from our championship win and it was amazing. It tastes even better after winning, and I’ve always dreamed of working a ‘shift’ at Cane’s and here I am!
"I told Paul I wanted to work the Drive-Thru and remember when he did this after LSU baseball’s championship win, and now I’m here seeing all of our fans. It’s surreal!"
