A Short and compleately distorted history of Clarkson Ultimate:

 

Fall 1994 - Spring 1995
Chris Yager introduced the game to Pumpkin and a few other fellow freshmen.

Fall 1995
Ultimate becomes an official Clarkson Club, with that same great Constitution we still use. The first interest meeting had over a hundred people show up.
Practice/Games held 2-3 times a week.

Spring 1996
Disc golf tourneys held as fundraisers

Fall 1996
First appearance at tournaments.

Fall 1997
History of name "Squirrel Massacre", according to Pete "Pumpkin" Mattix
"As for the name Squirrel Massacre.  That was my brain child, as was
the first disc design of a squirrel getting impaled on a disc.  I
don't know if they are still there but there used to be large plastic
garbage bins outside each entrance to the new dorms.  Well, those
resourceful, fat Clarkson squirrels would just hang out in those bins
and wait for the unsuspecting resident to come around the corner and
try to throw their trash away.  The next five minutes would be spent
wrestling the squirrel from your throat.  Thus, it became the mission
of our Ultimate team to attempt to wipe these squirrels from the
planet.  Ummmm, we failed.  However, the name stuck.  Long live
Squirrel Massacre. "

Some mystery years....

Spring 2000
Fall 2000 was the first freshman frisbee camp. Wheels and Yak were (I believe – maybe another one or two who played a little (Tayo?)) the only two freshman from that camp who ended up eventually with the team. We did have one who defected to RPI and played for their team, though.

Fall 2001
Former Pres. JY shows up for his freshmen year at Clarkson. So do a lot of stoners.
It's decided it's time for a new Team name. As a compromise between "Crazy Hairy Nug Men" and something related to Ultimate, Gumby chooses the name "High Dive". It sticks. And we are forever confused with the diving team at Clarkson Open Houses.

Spring 2002
Matt Rowell starts a tradition of handing off the Club Presidency by offering a Guinness shotgun to the incoming President. Wheels accepts.

Fall 2002
I'd say this is the start of our "growth period".
Freshmen Camp returns, with about 50 silly freshmen paying $50 to come to school early.
First year of "Head of the Pig". Held the weekend of Jewish Holiday Rosh Hashana. it was over 100 degrees Fahrenheit on Saturday. In Potsdam, in September.

Spring 2003
First High Dive jersey's are printed.

Fall 2003
Gumby graduated, so the search for a new "Naked Guy" begins. Coincides with Jeff "Wheels" Hamlin's 21st birthday.
Also, first year of "Frisbee House", located in Riverside number 5? I have no idea.

Spring 2004
High Dive's first Spring Break trip to Savanah, GA for High Tide. Colin McIntyre successfully steals 20 or so pounds of steak from the local grocery store. By hiding them in his pants. Local island economy experiences temporary collapse.

Fall 2004
Frisbee ladies reclaim Frisbee House at 733 south canton road. Revival from the days of Gumby the Nude.  Home successfully stays rented by at least someone who is a high diver or f*cks a high-diver for the following 3 years.  Head of the Pig parties are held there.

Spring 2005
High Dive's triumphant return to Savanah, GA, where they all stayed in one house, and Bill Feldman drank a liter of tanqueray in a matter of hours and lived to tell about it later.  The first year that Michael erected the hot tub. 


Fall 2005
Someone drops the ball, Frisbee house ceases to exist. But Crocker selflessly continues to nail meg  to gain access to the apartment.

Spring 2006
High Dive's third trip to Savanah GA.  Former President Wheels and the First Lady join them, as does Andy Lee, all the way from Bolivia (he chooses high dive over his family).  A team supporter tears in the driveway in their truck stopping only to briefly shout "DRUUUNK DRIIVIN, WOOOOO!" at the 13 people in the hot tub.  On the way home from that tourny, God smites him by taking his truck away. 

Fall 2006
First successful showing of a full Alumni Team at Head of the Pig.

Spring 2007
First "Serious Floreplay" indoor tounrament held. named in honor of freshman "Switch Hitter" whos letter from clarkson sited him for engaging in "Serious foreplay" while the cops showed up due to his excessive drunkenness.... High DIve has no idea how this happend.

First "Frisbee Formal" held. we broke the floor.

Summer 2007
High Dive starts making appearances at Summer tournaments. President Cory Weidenbach passes out at the "Ow My Knee" tournament party, getting High Dive kicked out for life.
Mike briefly convinces the team that Cory had been arrested for indecent exposure because he insisted on pulling a matress off of the top of a car on the street and sleeping on it with his pants around his ankles.  Mike, not wanting to be left alone and concerned for Cory's sweet cheeks in the Albany slammer, joins him on those charges by wagging his penis at the Albany Police.  The real story of what happened that night was much less fabulous, so I continue to believe the above story. 

Also First High Dive tree fort party. A "Stray" mortor finds its way into the rowboat occupied by Hints, Joo, and Charels. Rowboat empties except Hints who takes that fucker head on.

Fall 2007
Head of the Pig becomes THE college ultimate party of the Fall. It's nuts.
High Dive A team not only beats the Alumni team (which was successfully fielded again, pulling alumni from as far away as NH, FL and VA!), but all other teams to win the tournament. Mike Powers had something like 16 teams at this one, with fields at Clarkson, SLU, and maybe State.
Former President Wheels asks the First Lady to marry him right before the first game of the tournament.  He pulls the ring out of his cleat, ans the First Lady says, "yes!"  Hank, who owns 733 south canton and lives about 50 yards away, gets PISSED about not being invited to the best (loudest, biggest, free-flowing-est) frisbee party ever, and that effectively ends the Frisbee house at 733 South Canton. 

Spring 2008
Spring break savanah Georga take 4? Josh wins spring break by drinking a handle of rum-beer per night for 6 nights straight ending in him urinateing on a bitchy girl from Oklahoma state who now if not before, loves clarkson to no end. side note, this is the same night High Dive gets evicted from thir house on the island, revenge is sweet consisting of 4 upper-decked toilets, whats left of a skeeezy hot tub, and a golden pot filled with 10 gallons of Piss. Take that shamrok house!

High Dive secures the biggest budget Clarkson Ultimate has ever had. I don't know what the numbers were, but they were big. High Dive fundraiser contributes 15% of all funds raised by CUSA clubs. Nasty.
In what is not a trend across the whole country, High Dive elects a woman to be president (Holly Morris).
High Dive grows, developing new positions on the e-board, such as Secretary of Apparel and something else I don't remember.

Fall 2008
That has not happened yet.
