Welcome to the Marquette Birdhouse: an eccentric, often outlandish group of professional oddballs who have taken the world of Ultimate Frisbee by storm, and this spring, for the first time in program history, they’re ranked in the top 100 nationally and ready to make a deep run into the postseason.
There are many funky aspects to this team. Their raucous in-game dedication, chanting things like, “Lettuce, tomato, we go HAM,” singing their warm-up song “The Monster Mash,” and sporting a pair of dueling man buns. But ask anyone, and they’ll admit the strangest thing to happen this year is their success.
