The rate of foraging slowed down and stopped completely, placing stress on the colony because materials the colony needs, primarily food, are not coming in. So the colony needs to recruit new workers to make up for the loss.

Randy showed us some of the penalties we took, and they were penalties. I can't fault the referees. I think they've done a great job.

We had been scoring quite a few goals (lately). Up until the last four or five games, this team had won mostly 3-1 and 2-1 kinds of games. Maybe this was a little reality check or cold water in the face, that we need to play a tighter system defensively and try to win the 2-1 games.

I signed here and committed here for three years. This is where I wanted to play. But at the same time, I still feel I have more of what they're asking of me here.

This isn't the same team that people last saw, so there's definitely some benefits as far as the bonding and getting to know guys. A better comfort level.
