The SMUT Legacy

The Stanford Men's Ultimate Team has a long and illustrious history, dating back to the team's founding in 1980. SMUT soon joined the ranks of the nation's top teams, and won the first-ever National Collegiate Championship in 1984. Since then, the team has finished as runners-up 5 times, and finally added another glorious championship trophy to the case in 2002. Along the way, the team has won hundreds of games and scores of tournaments, and is known as one of the most consistent powerhouses in college Ultimate.

Over the years, hundreds of young men have been members of the team, each contributing their part to the creation of an Ultimate Frisbee program that provides a wealth of experience for each new generation of players. In the Stanford Men's Ultimate Team, players find athletics, competition, opportunities for learning, and close, lifelong friends. With each passing generation of players, the team's elders instill a sense of the importance of having such a robust, self-sustaining program. This type of long-term view of the legacy of Stanford Ultimate is what has made SMUT both a powerhouse in competition, and a compelling life experience for its players.

If you are an alumnus, we hope that you understand the importance of SMUT's ongoing legacy, and will do what you can to contribute to its growth. Whether it is by emailing us with ideas for this site, telling other alums to visit us here and build the online community, stopping by our practices to play a few points and tell us what you're up to, donating money to the new Stanford Men's Ultimate Team Endowment, or simply reflecting with pride on your part in the history of SMUT, we are glad that you are part of the team's heritage.

We are currently working with various alumni to write a narrative history of the team, so check back occasionally. In the meantime, feel free to read about the history of the famous Stanford O.
