	~~==Season 14==~~

	'''The First Miracle:''' The flip side of the Arsonists story about [[The Cartographic Defamation]] is the Boylston Boogers doing what they do so well: getting under their cross-town rivals' skin and getting into their heads, living there rent-free throughout the pre-season, regular season, and postseason. The Boogers flawlessly executed a campaign of psychological warfare designed to set the tone.

	The Boogers couldn't believe their luck when they landed their dream matchup against the Arsonists in their first season of existence. The Arsonists, who had already been in existence for 14 seasons of the [[Hellmouth Cup]] and know the Boogers when the Boogers were still in grade school, resented the matchup and saw it as an insult - they were a major league team, being forced to match up against a troupe of minor leaguers, in their first year of existence, on the biggest stage. They resented the Boogers because the Boogers had successfully gotten into their heads.

	~~That's exactly how the Boogers ended up winning the first-ever postseason matchup between the two, lighting the match of the bitterest rivalry in Golly.~~

	'''Season 8: The Green Line Exorcism.''' Bostonians do not take talk of a sports curse lightly, so when the Boogers collective caught wind of the rumors of a curse, they responded forcefully. Fueled by rage and memory, the Boogers achieved a state of terrifying focus. Their victories over Delaware and Fargo were methodical, but the 4-0 sweep of Phoenix in the Finals was a classic "crush and flush", where the Boogers closed out the series victory by flushing Phoenix into the Back Bay. It was more than a Cup victory: it was an annihilation of any talk of a Boylston-based curse.		'''Season 8: The Green Line Exorcism.'''

			...

			'''Season 18: The Ultimate Humiliation.'''' This is the darkest chapter in the rivalry. To be the #1 seed and get swept by the Alewife Arsonists is an unforgivable sin. The lore says the Boogers' motto, Ex Medio Omnia, became a fatal weakness. Their patterns were so proud and centralized that the Arsonists simply lit a conceptual fire around the periphery. The Boogers, too arrogant to break their own perfect formation, suffocated on their own smoke, their grand architecture collapsing inward without a single wall being breached from the outside.

			'''Season 24: The Final, Absurd Insult.''' After the epic tragedy of the S18 Arsonists sweep, being swept as the #1 seed by the Jersey OSHA Violations was pure cosmic farce. The loss wasn't a tragedy; it was a punchline. The Violations didn't win with a plan; they won because their cascade of failures somehow, against all odds, perfectly intersected and dismantled the Boogers' ordered patterns. It proved a horrifying truth: the universe doesn't just have it in for the Boogers; it has a deeply ironic sense of humor.

			'''The Hellmouth III #1 Seed Flu:''' This era cemented the Boogers' most famous and painful curse. In S14, S18, and S24 they collapsed as the top seed - #1 seeded team - top of the league, straight to the showers and an early end to the season. [[Goober Boylston]] has argued repeatedly in his column that it is a problem of "getting the flu, with bad timing, on a few occaions." The mysterious [[Brake Master Cylinder]], whose opinion (the Boogers will point out) no one asked for, claims the whole thing smacks of [[Choke Artist\|Choke Artistry]].

			'''Season 7: The Not Perfect Season:''' This season is the Boogers’ great, painful epic. They overcame the chaos of the OSHA Violations, then won a legendary 7-game war against their arch-rivals, the Alewife Arsonists, for the pennant. With dreams of a repeat of their [[Klein/Season 3]] Perfect Season, where they defeated the Arsonists for the pennant and went on to win the Cup series, Boylston was convinced the Cup was theirs.

			The subsequent 3-4 loss in the Finals to the Sacramento Boot Lickers cut deep, leading to whispers that the Boogers seemed to be tempting fate and attempting the unthinkable by creating a new Boston-based sports curse.

	'''Seasons 6 and 11: Becoming Trained Vampire Handlers:'''The difference between the tough 3-2 win over Vegas in S6 and the dominant 4-0 sweep in S11 is a key part of the Boogers' evolution. In S6, they struggled against the Vampires' life-draining patterns. But after Season 6, realizing the Vampires had exposed a "soft spot," they began specialized "Vampire Handler" training to counter the life-draining patterns. By S11, they had developed sharp counterpatterns for the Vampires. The moist patterns of the Boogers became "Holy Water"-infused snot strands - long, pure strands stretching across the entire grid, repelling the chaotic anti-life energy of the Vampires and driving them back into the shadows of the neon lights of Vegas.

			'''Gold Diggers:''' After four championships across four different cups, the Boogers have never successfully defended a title or even come close in the following season. This has created the ultimate Boogers curse: they are a collective built to dig for gold - not build the mine. Their motto Ex Medio Omnia is only true in the moments of digging, and focusing, and digging deeper: once they've finally found what they're digging for, they immediately lose focus, leading to an immediate, inevitable fall.

	The two sweeps to reach the finals were the chaotic tunneling phase, blasting through old rivals who had previously blocked their path. The grueling 4-3 victory over the Tucson Butchers was the final, beautiful Zakim Bridge emerging from the chaos - a testament to the idea that sometimes the most elegant structures rise from the ugliest, most arduous work.

			'''Seasons 14 & 19 (Goober's Spin): Foundational Issues:''' After the second #1 seed collapse, [[Goober Boylston]] (no relation) seemed unhappy with the league. In columns that were actually read by exactly zero percent of fans, titled (respectively) "On Preliminary Load-Bearing Assessments" and "The Mystique of Amorphous Loss," it was argued that the fault lay in the structure of the postseason itself. He claimed the team's complex, year-long architectural project was... well, nobody actually read the columns, so who really knows what was said, or might have been said.
