-The largest payments on their Probability Loan were made on the grandest stage. Twice more, the Boat Shoes clawed their way to the [[Hellmouth II Cup]] final, and twice more, the universe extracted a pound of flesh for payment. The two [[Hellmouth II Cup]] finals that the Boat Shoes lost would come to overshadow their dream [[Hellmouth II/Season 1]] season, and would become the [[Hellmouth II Cup]] Boat Shoes that everyone remembered: a team whose successes only seemed to feed their failures.

 ===Detroit's Revenge===
-If there is one thing people know about the Detroit Grape Chews, it's that the Grape Chews don't have many good revenge stories. Perhaps it's because the club is resigned to its fate, perhaps it's due to lack of gaining the upper hand first. But one happy (for Detroit) story of revenge in a long history without it occurred in [[Hellmouth II/Season 23]].

 ===Game Seven Sickness===
-As the seasons of the [[Hellmouth II Cup]] progressed, and as the {{CTeam|SFBS}} struggled to pay down their debt and get back to even, the Shoes increasingly found themselves unable to "close it out," with seemingly every postseason series running to the maximum number of games. It started in [[Hellmouth II/Season 4]] with their humiliation at the hands of the {{CTeam|OSHA}} in the final Game 5, but would go on to include the [[Hellmouth II/Season 7]] LDS and LCS, the [[Hellmouth II/Season 8]] LCS, the [[Hellmouth II/Season 9]] LDS and LCS, and the [[Hellmouth II/Season 10]] LDS and LCS. (This would also later include the LDS in [[Hellmouth II/Season 13|Season 13]], [[Hellmouth II/Season 15|Season 15]], [[Hellmouth II/Season 16|Season 16]], and [[Hellmouth II/Season 17|Season 17]].) Tragically, despite reaching the Championship Series 4 times, despite pushing it to the max 7 games each time, they did not have a single Championship series win to show for it.

 ===Rumors of a New Choke Artists===
-Ironically, and relatedly, part of the reason the {{CTeam|SFBS}} were in the Championship Series from [[Hellmouth II/Season 7]] through [[Hellmouth II/Season 10]] is because they were able to use the {{CTeam|DET}} as a footstool to repeatedly reach the Championship series. For four consecutive seasons, the Grape Chews and Boat Shoes met in the Division Series. And for four consecutive seasons, the Grape Chews were dispatched by the Boat Shoes. And for four consecutive seasons, the Boat Shoes maxed out the Championship Series at 7 games, choking 3 of the 4 times. Much to the delight of the Grape Chews, rumors began to spread that a new [[Hellmouth II Cup]] [[Choke Artist]] might be crowned. Nobody in the league was aware of the staggering Probability Debt exacting its toll on the Boat Shoes, so to the rest of the league, it all looked like a classic sports curse.

-The {{CTeam|SFBS}} began the Hellmouth II Cup era with a dream season, culminating in a 4-2 victory over their [[Hellmouth II/Season 1]] opponents, the {{CTeam|SLC}}. Along the way, the Boat Shoes also roasted the {{CTeam|OSHA}}, sparking the fire of a new rivalry that would burn for years. But to Boat Shoes fans, who had dealt with decades of struggle, from [[Donut Sickness]] to "Rainbow Sickness," from one [[Klein Loop]] to another, it seemed the Boat Shoes had finally slayed their old demons and gotten their groove back.

 ===The Probability Loan===
-Sometime after their humiliating [[Klein Cup]] loss to Detroit in [[Klein/Season 23]], and pondering how they could make a mark in the upcoming [[Hellmouth II Cup]], the {{CTeam|SFBS}} reached out to the tossed-out-of-the-league quitters {{CTeam|ATL}} and were put in touch with a loan shark offering a Probability Mortgage - in exchange for guaranteeing that first, glorious [[Hellmouth II/Season 1]] win, the Boat Shoes took out a loan against the outcomes of all future seasons. Tragically, this would leave them with staggering debt to pay off over the next 23 seasons, compounding in the form of choking at clutch moments, heart-breaking losses at the doorstep of success, and the curse of never again foisting the [[Hellmouth II Cup]] after their [[Hellmouth II/Season 1]] victory.
