I was first introduced to Ultimate Frisbee as a sport at Lewis & Clark College where I joined the men's team named Bacchus after the Greco-Roman deity of winemaking. Ultimate frisbee is renowned for its close-knit community and Bacchus added a social dynamic that Lewis & Clark as a whole was sorely missing.
