That's pretty funny. Bullring was the name of the quadrangle we had to march around for hours and hours working off demerits in military school. We had to have a 30 pound field pack, an M-1, and boots on- one hour close order drill for every demerit, every week. At the end of a 5 hour bullring, you took off that pack and felt like you were floating! For extra fun, it was a 300 day school year, so you did it in 100 degrees and less than 15 degrees, rain or shine, snow or ice, no matter what. Tough kids. Dozens of West Pointers, Annapolis grads, even some Merchant Marine Academy grads, and hundreds and hundreds of career military in the 140 years the school was there.
