Welcome to the Braineater world.
The Claremont Colleges' 5-C Ultimate Frisbee team, the
Braineaters, was founded in 1979 at Pitzer College with the team
name stemming from a 1950's B-movie title. Made up primarily of
Pitzer students, the Brains played their first games against teams
such as Oxy and Redlands. Founded on the principals of good spirit
and fair play, the early teams were led by people such as Jeff
Landesman and Howie Wein. Throughout the 80's the team expanded
across the 5 colleges, steadily bringing in more and more Pomona
and Harvey Mudd students. The late 80's and early 90's saw the
Brains establish themselves as the strongest small school Ultimate
team in SoCal. In 2006, the Braineaters had a breakout
season, following surprising success at the Trouble in Vegas
tournament, prompting the question, "who the @#%$ is Claremont??,"
the Brains went on to finish forth at regionals, losing in the
game-to-go-to-nationals against UCSB. With only 1 bid in
2007, the Brains finished a respectable 3rd at regionals, and after
winning their section in 2008, saw dissapointing losses to Arizona
and UCSB at regionals to again finish 4th.
With a strong, young team heading into the 2009 season, the Braineaters are poised to write a new chapter in team history.
