The HorrorZontals of the University of Kansas were established in 1979. They were among the first Ultimate Frisbee school club teams, so they have one of the most storied and prominent programs in the nation. They are always one of the top teams in their region, and regularly make nationals, making their 3rd appearance in the last 4 years. While proud of being such a great program year in and year out, the Zontals are equally proud of their reputation as the best party team in the midwest. Because of their prominence, they were able to start fielding a B team to bring up new talent and help those that didn't have a high school ultimate frisbee team develop their skills. The Betty's, the women's Ultimate Frisbee team at KU, were officially established in 1986 and have been breaking marks and breaking hearts ever since. The HorrorZontals look to continue their dominance long into the future and are active in bringing in new players. The new faces they bring in every year will be able to keep Zontal Nation proud for a long time to come.

History as explained by KK:
What is a Zontal? While indigenous to the northern backwoods of
Wisconsin... alright lets just be honest, our team is Dylan Tunnel... I
mean... We are CUT!
Boner checks aside, we would like to use this national forum to
support a very special movement. The "Bringing Back Suck It" movement
started as a dream, but over the past two years we have put in
countless man-hours and foregone dozens of practices in the effort to
spread it across the ultimate community. For more on the movement
please frequent www.magichugs.com.
As for this season, things were going swimmingly, that is until a pre-
tournament team dinner went horribly wrong. A heated debate pitting
Macs vs PCs split the team directly in twine. An uneasy truce was
eventually reached when it was agreed that PCs would play defense and
Macs would play offense. This left a bitter taste in everyone's mouth.
That is until... our "turning point".
Like most teams, our "turning point" occurred inside a women's
restroom in Springfield Missouri. We entered that bathroom as 22
individuals... fifteen minutes of barking, wooting, and shrieks of "we
must protect this house" later; out of that heated women's restroom a
'team' was birthed.
This team proudly calls itself the HorrorZontals. We've been in
existence ever since that happy bunch of mushroom smoking hippies
threw that first disc in 1979. We have a storied history of fabled
players and nationals appearances, and we are proud to continue that
tradition in 2009. No Mercy, No Prisoners!
