The Barnacles

The Barnacles is the nickname for a group of anti-fans of the San Francisco Boat Shoes that originally formed during the Hellmouth Cup, when the Boat Shoes dominated the league. The Barnacles didn't just dislike the Boat Shoes; they despised them. They saw the Boat Shoes as a team that didn't just win all the time, they won in the most soul-crushing ways possible. Every narrow Boat Shoes victory was proof of a dark pact with forces of chaos, every dominant performance was an unbearable display of arrogance. The six championships that line the halls of the Boat Shoes' San Francisco headquarters are not just trophies: they are relics of a war, reminders of an era when the Fog City ruled the Hellmouth and made all the other teams hate them for it.
