feelings good last played start team towards year
With them being the last team we played against, we don't have too many good feelings for them, and they probably don't have too many good feelings towards us. They're our number-one rival; it's a good way to start the year off.

allowed ancient challenges complexity current entirely error evolution evolved found functions genes millions molecular process selection techniques work
Our work demonstrates a fundamental error in the current challenges to Darwinism. New techniques allowed us to see how ancient genes and their functions evolved hundreds of millions of years ago. We found that complexity evolved piecemeal through a process of Molecular Exploitation -- old genes, constrained by selection for entirely different functions, have been recruited by evolution to participate in new interactions and new functions.
frustrates stick wait
It frustrates the other team. You just stick with it and wait for your chances.
