Losing at "Bull Hockey" - a photo on Flickriver

Rodeo - Union Bridge, Maryland

Why one should never volunteer to play "Bull Hockey" at the Rodeo. Last night in Union Bridge, Maryland. He was attended to by the medical staff and helped to a waiting ambulance.

What is Bull Hockey?

They get volunteers from the crowd to form two teams of two players. The rules are simple. All you have to do is run ahead of the bull and avoid getting launched.

If successful, the player who gets the bull to follow him/her into the goal, at the opposite end of the arena, scores a poiint for their team.

Opposing team-mates try to attract the bull's attention and take him to their goal at the opposite side of the arena.

While some folks may think these players are not the sharpest tools in the shed, the would-be Matadors get a chance to showcase their athletic abilities.

This is an edited/cropped version of this photo.
