History & Philosophy of Germ Circus
by 
Chris "Goose" O'Neil

I had planned to draw some brilliant, complex, conspiracy-laden analogy between the historic signing of one of our nation's greatest documents (either the Declaration of Independence or the repeal of Prohibition) and the formation of the (heavily debated) greatest coed Ultimate team in the history of time. But then I burned the roof of my mouth on a hot piece of Ellio's pizza, and that pretty much derailed and engulfed in mozzarella-stoked flames my train of thought. So the basic point of all this is: Not a word written here can be expected to hold up to even the most simplistic of examinations.

Anyway, in the summer of 2003, my cohort Paul Egan and I jokingly decided to form a coed Ultimate team from the Philadelphia area. Well, let me rephrase that. Paul decided to put together an Ultimate team, & I jokingly said, "Great idea!" thinking he had jokingly decided to play a joke on me.

Boy was my face red when he kept bringing it up, even in those rare moments when both of us were sober. He dropped his joking tone. Were we ready for this? I mean, I'm still not sure exactly what Ultimate is. I think it involves a bear.

So by Fall 2003, in spite of everyone knowing I was partially behind this endeavor, somehow we still had a team. With enough talent and spunktenacity™, we hit the coed tournament circuit running, where we had a lot of fun. Our record? WE HAD A LOT OF FUN.

And now here we are in 2004, ready to take it to the next level, feel the burn, give 110% and never let them see us sweat. Add your own cliché/commercial slogan here to continue the fun! Seriously, the Germ Circus mission statement is:

Play some great, competitive Ultimate and have too much fun doing it.

I know we have achieved this and will continue to achieve in the future. So browse around and see why the Germ Circus experience is one of fun, camaraderie, and great spirit.

See you out on the fields. And if you happen to run into a bear... I don't know anything about it.
