The Peppersauce Crown is the rivalry between the Tucson Butchers and Phoenix Freshrolls . it is one of the most historically significant rivalries in Golly, which makes it one of the Crown Jewels of Golly. it is named for Peppersauce Cave, located north of Tucson in the general direction of Phoenix, or south of Phoenix in the general direction Tucson, depending on who you ask.

The Peppersauce Crown represents an existential struggle for the soul of Arizona. The Butchers, embodying the wild, dangerous, untamed spirit of the Sonoran Desert, see the Freshrolls as usurpers - their human-constructed, perfectly-curated concrete existence representing an affront to natural order. Phoenix, with its sprawling housing developments unfurling like carpet across the desert, the unquenchable thirst for water that isn't there, represents everything the Butchers despise: the taming of the wild, the suppression of the primal, the urge to be outside usurped by the urge to be inside. Most matches are intense, with both teams seeing it as a symbolic battle over the essence of Arizona: between the coyote and the Home Owners Association, between the well-manicured golf course and the hostile wilderness that lies beyond it.

The centrality of this rivalry to the Butchers' identity meant that repeated losses the Phoenix Freshrolls in the Hellmouth II Cup were not just defeats - they were a slow, agonizing erosion of the wild, a reletless encroachment of green lawns and electric blue swimming pools across a sea of sand and rock.
