  1. Would it? The UK effectively bought every slave in the empire and didn't pay the debt off for a 150 years. Had they made the same offer to the US South, would there still have been so much desire to hang onto slavery?
  2. Some other things I learned in that mini series that I'd also never heard before was that at some point, maybe 1778 or 1779, the british bascially offered the colonials everything they had been asking for prior to the delcaration of independence, and that there was actually a fair amount of support for the colonials in Britain as those people viewed the Colonials as just fighting for the same rights every British citizen should have.
  3. I watched a BBC documentary mini-series about 20 years ago called Rebels and Redcoats. It was really great and it was the first time I'd heard the revolution described as a Civil War.
  4. RIP Scott I didn't know him well, but met him around the same time as Aus-97Horn. He was definitely a legend.
  5. Finished it book 7 on my drive last week. My new favorite line from the book:
  6. I know that was winning. It didn't feel like winning. It didn't really look like winning. But it was winning.
  7. Just started this last night after finishing up Dungeon Crawler Carl Book 7 (audiobook). I'm listening to this, but I may have to switch to reading. I'm about 20% in, story is interesting and drops in lots of little refreshers, without being a slog, since it's been about a decade since the last book. However, the narrator is driving me nuts. She's way too chipper and while her voicing the main character is fine, the way she is voicing all the male charaters is less than optimal.
  8. I am sad. I will likely finish Book 7 tomorrow on my drive to Dallas. I NEED the Book 8 audiobook to come out!!!!!
  9. Until we fix the offensive line issues, any QB we put back there is going to suck. Arch may never reach the potential everyone thought he had, but with an even decent offensive line, his performance would be markedly better.
  10. Just a reminder that it's been 741 days since 0U scored a TD on Texas.
  11. Agreed it's not a one to one comparrison, but no different than saying Mack got shut out while Sark never has. Sark has never faced teams like Mack did.
  12. Mack also never shut out OU, while Sark has.
  13. And this one earlier in the play
  14. This is the one they were talking about ont he TV. There's a better angle on the replay. It wasn't overly egregious I guess, but it certainly could have been called.
  15. I'm on the fence on this one. The story and characters I was 50/50 on. Some of their writing has always driven me nuts (the constant "Everything was exactly the same...except it wasn't"). What killed me though, and I had problems with the Expanse as well because of it, is the narrator (I listened to all of these). I just can't stand the way he enunciates things. When the next volume comes out, I think I'm going to try to actually read it.
