I have wanted to know since they hit the scene!!!
There has got to be a great story there! I have heard of college pranks involving dead animal carcasses, welding gas, and rival fraternity houses----but I don't think that is the same story

The true (and kinda boring) story is that during our first meeting the kids were playing around with a random name generator and the name Exploding Bacon came up. We actually voted to become Organized Chaos. At the next meeting one of the mentors came in with the logo design and mentioned that if we had become Exploding Bacon we could have used this logo. A vote was immediatly taken to change the name and we have been Bacon ever since.
The cheer came from MikeTWalker. The night before our first regional ever we were going over things and he came up with it....we ran with it. The coolest thing I ever heard was when we won Rookie All star that year to hear the whole arena screaming OINK OINK BOOM as we went down to get our award. With teams like PINK, SPAM, MARS and Sigma Cats in the house...you know it was loud.
