The Hellmouth II/Season 11 series against the 
Boylston Boogers
was a clash of civilizations, a brutal spectacle that came to be known as the "Blood Meridian Cup." It was the raw, untamed violence and live-in-a-cave energy of the Butchers against the effete, "civilized," and from-the-center-of-town Boogers. Drawing inspiration from the bleakest of frontier narratives, Blood Meridian, the series was a bloody, merciless affair that ended with the Boogers as the victors, but spiritually broken, their elegant patterns torn to shreds by the Butchers' savage, relentless assault.
People said Boylston never saw the grid the same way after that victory. The Boylston collective took some personal time, drove motorcycles across the country, and stopped referring to Golly as a "game" entirely, instead calling it "The Way", trailing off and staring into the distance with a thousand yard stare. The whole affair even seemed to take the edge off of Goober Boylston (no relation), the insufferable architecture critic and Boylston Booger sports columnist.
The Boylston experience was seen as a message to any team that hadn't already had a bloody firsthand encounter with the Butchers: civilization is a fragile veneer, easily stripped away by the raw, primal forces that lurk beneath. So make sure and buy your season tickets today.
