[help] Volleyball team name

We need a team name for our company volleyball team. Bonus points if it's funny and relates to crops or bad weather, especially hail (I work in crop insurance, it's even less interesting than it sounds). But really just so long as it pushes the envelope but is something we could get away with having on the back of our t-shirts, I'm interested. I guess you guys don't have a rep system here, but I'll give mad mental rep points to the winner.

I think this line's mostly filler.

At a former workplace there was a volleyball team organized by someone named Daihung. They ended up calling themselves Only The Good Dai Hung.

Yeah, I know, that doesn't help you.

The front runners so far are The Silage Patch Kids, Hail's Bales, and The Hail Caesars, with The Hail Caesars having a slight edge. Mostly because it lends itself to a Toga Party and drunken catchphrases like "Et tu Brute??". I do like Hail in a Handbasket though.

You're supposed to clap your opponents points and lack of them.

No huh?

Hail Marys? That could be fun. You only go to hell for that if you're Catholic, right?

Hail Raisers was our name last year. Can't decide if we want to change it up or not. Someone's already working on a logo, but I think it looks like a constipated golfball.
