Dopefish

Most of you won't be aware, that in a darkened cavern deep below stately Brisbane Ultimate Blog mansion, just near the hovercraft hangar, across from the Deep-U supercomputer, is our state of the art Ultimate frisbee listening station.

The listening station picks up all sorts of snippets, and normally we keep them to ourselves (isn't that right, Dusty - just keep the payments coming).

But here's a bit we thought we'd share, because when we wandered over to the Deep-U supercomputer to follow up, there wasn't much information to be gleaned.

Here's the snippet:


".... frisbee had been played at UQ for many years, and they established a club
maybe around 1990 in order to secure fields ...."
I'm sure most of you weren't even born around then, so perhaps a few readers could share some memories of this dark age and the hallowed past of Brisbane Ultimate? Or perhaps there's other memories, like Halibut 1997 producing the first Australian University Ultimate champions?

Comment lines are open - tell us the history of UQ Ultimate.

I thought it went something like...

For a long time there was nothing, then suddenly out of the darkness sprung 3 bright young minds, Julz, Gref and Pete, then there was ultimate.

Turns out this is wrong and was just a rumour spread to enhance UQ as THE ultimate club. The real story is slightly different.

"There was once something that was called UQ Ultimate which was started by a few good mates with a common goal. It ran along nicely for numerous years then the minds of Matt and Brett reached a higher level to the common human, and so began the saga. UQ Ultimate a tale of the nerds who fought back, and WON!
