2/15/2008- Shocker: Bacon Joins Dream Team; Defeats T-Love!

After many weeks of baconing around, Bacon made his return to the WBPF and shocked the world by joining the Dream Team.

“He’s one of us now,” Freezer proudly declared.

Bacon played against T-Love in what was to be a friendly, exhibition best of seven series. Bacon, however, was anything but friendly as he continually showboated for the crowd as he destroyed his opponent in the first game, winning by three cups.

“Bacon was acting very un-baconlike. It was strange, but I just kind of brushed it off at that point,” says T-Love.

Game 2 would be a much closer affair, but Bacon would take advantage of T-Love’s sloppy play at the end to steal another victory. With a commanding 2 games to 0 lead, Bacon revealed that he was now a part of Dream Team and would take great pride in crushing one of the WBPF’s most decorated superstars.

“I felt absolutely sick to my stomach ,” says T-Love.

Bacon views it a different way.

“I felt so alive. Here I was winning a series against a 3-time World Champion. I felt like anything was possible. I was finally living up to my Bacon name.”

T-Love stormed back with a dominant victory in Game 3 to get back into the series, but could not break Bacon and Dream Team’s momentum. Bacon would win Game 4 to take an enormous 3-1 lead. Freezer was there to support his newest recruit.

“T-Love was being embarrassed. I was loving every minute of it.” said Freezer.

In beer pong, there’s a saying that sinking the final cup is the hardest. Well, the same could be said for winning the final game of a series. T-Love would take Game 5 with a narrow one cup lead. Game 6, however, is when things would really start to get interesting.

Bacon had been dominant all game and had made all his cups, with T-Love needing to hit three in order to force overtime. Bacon and Freezer were already celebrating. Siezing the opportunity, T-Love made a heroic bounce shot into Bacon’s cups, forcing two to be removed. Unbelievably, he would make the final cup with his last rebuttal shot to force an overtime no one had imagined possible just 60 seconds earlier. T-Love would go on to win the overtime by two cups, forcing a decisive Game 7.

“The crowd was going nuts,” T-Love says, “it was one of the wildest comebacks in recent memory.”

In the final game, T-Love rode his momentum from the previous game and held a one cup lead for the first half of the match. Unfortunately for T-Love, Bacon would one-up him one last time in this series. Bacon hit four cups in a row, bringing it back twice to win Game 7 and the series. It was the first time in months that Bacon had hit that many cups in a row.

The Dream Team celebrated ferociously. It was borderline homoerotic.

“Freezer was right all along,” says Bacon. “People like me and him have been held down for too long. Beating T-Love in this series was just another step in our path to beer pong domination.”

In any event, it appears that Dream Team is running as strong as ever with Bacon now joining their ranks. It will be interesting to see where the WBPF goes from here.
