Livvy Dunne, Paul Skenes attend Super Bowl 59

Star LSU athletes Livvy Dunne and Paul Skenes were at Super Bowl 59

Livvy Dunne and Paul Skenes know something about championships from their time in Louisiana.

The LSU gymnast and Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher were at the Superdome on Sunday for Super Bowl 59.

Dunne was part of a Tigers team that won an NCAA gymnastics title and Skenes was on the one that captured the College World Series.

Paul Skenes on why his reaction differed from Livvy Dunne’s when he won Rookie of the Year

Dunne said that Skenes is the king of nonchalant.

Pittsburgh Pirates rookie Paul Skenes was named National League Rookie of the Year but at the time, he did not have much reaction to the news.

His girlfriend, famous gymnast Livvy Dunne, had a different response to the accomplishment. Even though Skenes was a bit more deadpan, Dunne was a bit more enthusiastic.

She defended Skenes, explaining that he is the “king of nonchalant” and that is just his personality. Skenes also had an opportunity to defend himself as a guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

Here is what he said when asked about the emotions:

“I think people mistook the facial expressions and all that for indifference. I would say it was composure for sure.”

Skenes said that winning the award was one of the biggest honors of his first season in the big leagues.

He just simply has a different way of sharing his feelings, and that’s OK!

It is probably safe to assume that the 11-year-old child who recently found a rare Skenes rookie card probably had a bigger reaction, though, considering how much that memorabilia is worth.

How Livvy Dunne performed in LSU’s thrilling win over Florida

Here’s how TIgers star Olivia Dunne performed in the third meet of the season

LSU gymnastics opened its SEC schedule with a win over No. 7 Florida on Friday in the PMAC.

The No. 2 Tigers recorded a season-best 49.525 score on the balance beam. They trailed heading into the final two passes of the night, coming down to floor routines by Aleah Finnegan and Haleigh Bryant.

Finnegan’s 9.95 meant Bryant needed at least a 9.85 to give LSU the win. She posted a 9.90 to seal the victory in a huge night for the graduate student. Bryant’s 9.5 on the beam marked her first event win of the year.

Olivia Dunne was back in action, too. She was in LSU’s floor lineup, going second for the Tigers. She posted a 9.85 and a 9.90 for a total score of 9.875 on the night. That was a step up from the 9.725 score she posted in the event last week.

Finnegan tied for first in the all-around with the Gators’ Selena Harris-Miranda. Both gymnasts totaled a 39.500. Finnegan matched her season-high on the vault with a 9.950 to start the night then rounded LSU’s bars rotation with a 9.825. She scored a 9.775 on the beam then finished the dual on the floor.

Thirteen gymnasts competed for head coach Jay Clark’s team.

How Livvy Dunne scored in LSU Gymnastics’ weekend invitational

Here’s how Olivia Dunner fared in LSU gymnastics’ second meet of the season

LSU Gymnastics placed second in Saturday’s Sprouts Farmers Market Collegiate Quad Meet with a score of 197.650. The No. 2 Tigers finished behind No. 1 Oklahoma, which finished with a 197.950 score.

Fifth-year senior [autotag]Olivia Dunne[/autotag] saw action in three events. She recorded a 9.725 in her first appearance on bars of the season. Ashley Cowan led the Tigers on bars, matching a career-high 9.95 and helping them to a 49.425.

On the balance beam, Dunne ranked second on the team with a 9.775. [autotag]Haleigh Bryant[/autotag] made her first appearance of the season on the beam, scoring a 9.75. The graduate student and 2024 NCAA all-around champion is working her way back from an injury that held her out of the Tigers’ season opener last week.

LSU finished the invitational on the floor, where Dunne posted her best score of the day. Her 9.85 was third on the team behind Kailin Chio’s 9.925 and 2024 NCAA floor champion Aleah Finnegan’s 9.975.

Up next, the Tigers face Florida on Friday at 6:30 PM CT inside the PMAC.

Livvy Dunne and the Pirates have an unreal offer for a Topps Chrome Update Paul Skenes card

Seriously: go get this card.

The 2024 Topps Chrome Update set that dropped this week has an incredible rookie card in it: a Paul Skenes rookie debut patch autograph card that’s 1-of-1.

It’s going to be worth A LOT of money, but it’s now valuable for two other reasons.

The first is the Skenes’ team — the Pittsburgh Pirates — wants to bring the card to PNC Park. And their offer is this: a pair of season tickets behind home plate for 30 (!) years, a softball game at the stadium, and a wild spring training experience.

That’s not all. Skenes’ girlfriend, Livvy Dunne, upped the ante: the finder of the card can sit with her in her suite.

So … good luck!!
