Dartmouth Ultimate in 2002

It seems like the common perception of Ultimate Frisbee is often one of a bunch of shmoes throwing plastic to dogs. But this image is dead wrong. We don't need dogs to catch our plastic for us… we can catch our own "discs" and even run around bit in the process. Actually, that's an understatement. Ultimate at Dartmouth is a highly competitive club sport with seasons during the fall and spring terms. It is a student run organization, currently captained by John Agan (upper right) and Adam Sigelman (first row, far right). We practice Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoons in addition to attending weekend tournaments all over New England. We also host three tournaments of our own each year: Frozen Disc of Death in the fall, Molten Disc of Life in the Spring, and Mike's Birthday Hat Tournament in the summer.

We welcome any and all players, from the ambisinister to the ambidextrous to the just plain good at Tetris. In fact, we adhere to all of Dartmouth's policies against discrimination based on race, creed, sexual preference, or pubic hair color. Honestly, we need more CENSORED on the team because, as we all know, a CENSORED, while a stunning piece of CENSORED, has its limits. But I digress. Whether you're looking for serious athletic competition or just like playing with round plastic objects, there's a place for you on one of Dartmouth Ultimate's various teams.

But the buck doesn't stop with just the fall and spring terms. We condition during the winter and are planning a trip to San Diego for the 3-day President's Day tournament. And every year, we kick off our spring season with a wacky Spring Break trip down to Georgia for fireworks, Frisbee, and fun in the sun. And sometimes fun in prison. With enough Tybee Island 3.2% beer in your system, the beach can almost seem like Cancun on one of Cancun's less naked days.

So if all of this doesn't convince you that we are all a bunch of rugged, handsome athletes who play the best sport ever, maybe a little bit of history will. First, when founded in the early eighties, our name was The Psychotic Seeds. Then, in a moment of sheer inspiration, someone decided to adopt the fearsome moniker of Moo Disc. Now, we have finally found the perfect name… simple, sublime, soporific: Dartmouth Ultimate. But an ultimate team under any other name would still smell as bad on Sunday afternoon… and in the words of a cheer set to the music of those ultimate gods Steely Dan… WE ARE (still) PSYCHOTIC.
