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
San Francisco Boat Shoes
reached out to the tossed-out-of-the-league quitters
Atlanta Glitter Sharks
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.
Their entire history in this cup is the story of the universe ruthlessly foreclosing on that debt.
