History[]
The Daves were originally named the Vipers, but once Dave won the competition for a fan to rename the team, it was changed.
The Daves debuted in "Air Turtle". Leonardo was recruited by Tim Dunkman and became a mascot for the team to encourage the team's poor game performances. However, Leo's efforts proved unhelpful, but not unappreciated, and consequently, Tim turned to purchasing the Arch of Aquinnah to bless the team with luck after they lost 0-25. The Arch of Aquinnah did not give the Daves luck, but instead transformed them into demons. After becoming demons, the Daves were able to triumph over the Knights 48-0, but during half-time, the Mad Dogs chose to replace the Knights. The Daves then began to lose 90-120, causing Tim himself to join the game after being altered by the Arch. Tim managed to reclaim the Daves' lead at 121-120, but the Daves ended up losing to the Knights 121-122 and their defeat deactivated the Arch's spell, turning the entire team back to humans.
