Back in Ye Olden Days the Celts used to sacrifice bulls, mix the bull blood with mistletoe, and thus cure infertility.
Let's go to Pliny the Elder for some pregame anlysis:
"....Hailing the moon in a native word that means 'healing all things,' [the Celts] prepare a ritual sacrifice and banquet beneath a tree and bring up two white bulls, whose horns are bound for the first time on this occasion. A priest arrayed in white vestments climbs the tree and, with a golden sickle, cuts down the mistletoe, which is caught in a white cloak. Then finally they kill the victims, praying to a god to render his gift propitious to those on whom he has bestowed it. If the Celts continue to switch on defense and be opportunistic on the break, they'll put the Bulls in a tough position."
Tonight's broadcast team is Mike Gorman and the Gundestrup Cauldron. Gundy, what to you think of tonight's matchup?
Prediction? Pain.
