Frosted Flakes: Five Games in Six Days for Husker Baseball

The Husker baseball team started a stretch of five games in six days last night. Nebraska didn’t fare well as they got shut out by the Wildcats of Kansas State 5-0. Tonight, they take on the Summit League-leading Omaha Mavericks at 6:30 at Werner Park in Omaha.

Let’s hope the bats wake up for this one.

This weekend, the Big Ten-leading Huskers travel to Iowa City for a three game conference series with the Hawkeyes. Iowa is a decent team and the Huskers will need to put some runs on the board to grab a series win.

Go Big Red!

Water that never freezes | ETH Zurich
Mak­ing ice cubes is a sim­ple process: you take a plas­tic ice-cube tray like you’d find in most house­holds, fill it with wa­ter and put it in the freezer. Be­fore long, the wa­ter crys­tallises and turns to ice.

But how will we keep our beer cold without ice?
