“It’s nice, for sure,” Skenes said. “It can be a pain in the butt sometimes, to be honest, in terms of actually going somewhere. If one of us went out in Baton Rouge [La.] by ourselves, there’s probably gonna be someone there asking for something — picture, autograph, whatever.
“It’s nice to be able to have that conversation. She does get it. I do wish she could come to a baseball game and just enjoy it. It does irk me. I don’t have any control over it. She really doesn’t either. I’m sure it’ll get better as I go up levels, but that’s something I want for her.”
quote:
The two started dating, Skenes said, because his best friend at LSU was dating Dunne’s roommate and regular TikTok sidekick, Elena Marenas.
“Just a small-world type of thing,” Skenes said.
quote:
He has a Twitter account but will only post anything when logged in from a laptop. He doesn’t keep social media apps on his phone. Skenes intentionally tries to avoid reading what’s said about him or Dunne.
“I wasn’t on it during the season because it’s toxic,” Skenes said. “When you see something positive about you or something negative, it doesn’t matter. There’s no substance to it. It can’t help.”
quote:
“She doesn’t like seeing some of it, too,” Skenes said. “It’s worse for her. I’ve told her, ‘People are gonna write about you. People are gonna write about me. If it rattles you, if it makes you upset, you gotta find a way to either not see it or not get upset over it.’ In my mind, it’s a lot easier to not see it than not get upset over it.”

Pretty honest take. Seems like a good, very talented, young man.

I see why, of course, he would want to date her. But if he is a guy who doesn't like attention, both in person and on social media, he may want to find someone else. Her entire way of life/career is built on a basis of CONSTANTLY seeking attention. I'm not saying she is wrong for that. She has a 7 figure bank account to prove that. But she's not the girlfriend who will quietly come watch your game, and with whom you can go out to a restaurant and not get noticed. She is going to make sure she is noticed. That's her career!

Woody should go ahead and offer a scholarship to any of their future kids...

you know i’ve said it before, but the justin Verlander comparisons are racking up.
Big Pitchers who throw heat, have a good combination of pitchers, strike guys out, have endurance and now are dating the hottest blonde of their day.

Cry me a river. She put herself out there becoming a quasi stripper on social media leveraging the LSU brand

This is the kind of shite that will get prospects wanting to come to LSU

Get her name wrong and doesn't even get credit for being on the gymnastics team. Just reduced to tiktok sidekick.

He is right about himself. He is a baseball player, and because of that, social media searches him out and finds him,
As for her, she used social media to make her persona, not the other way around. It didn’t really seek her out, she sought it out. Which I have no issue with, but let’s not get it twisted

That is some pretty mature stuff from Skenes.

If LSU sports were a high school, this is the prom king and queen

Damn, I would pay money for Skenes to come give a social media usage class to my son and his buddies. My boy is kinda doing ok with it but it requires constant oversight and is a learning experience for all of us. Some of his friends, especially the athletes, oh my goodness do thay have an unhealthy relationship with it.
