Naked Frisbee

No pants, no frisbee.

Per Deadspin, that's the message a group of students in Oregon received from their peers.

The University of Oregon Ultimate Frisbee team
had their season canceled by the student board after they played a recent match sans shirts and pants.

According the the Seattle Times, this isn't the first time the frisbee folks have ran afoul with the law. Keg parties, speeding cars, now nakedness.

The club plans on appealing to the school senate.

What is the Twitterverse saying about these streaking saucer tossers? Quite a bit, as you would imagine:

    RuthOUTspoken @TheNewsChick Co-ed naked ultimate frisbee was popular at my school - UC Santa Cruz - but, of course, at Santa Cruz, clothing is optional


Just what is Ultimate Frisbee? Sure, this story has brought attention to the sport, but we found Tweets that have nothing to do with nudity:

    tbrown1025 @howertonjosh ultimate frisbee is football, but with a frisbee instead of a ball - sure there's more to it than that, but that's what I know
