"I think we have put together a great option for our fans. By taking the bus they will save money as gas is now about $3 a gallon, mileage on their car, the hassle of parking in Bowling Green and will not have to fight traffic on I-65," Farley said. "I know fans in the past have enjoyed riding the bus to Blue Raider events and I think this is an affordable option for them to cheer on our teams against their biggest rival."

Contact the BRAA office at (615) 898-5953 or (615) 898-2210 to reserve your seat for the bus trip to Western Kentucky.

The BRAA will also be sponsoring a bus trip to the Sun Belt Basketball Championships in Hot Springs, Ark. Check goblueraiders.com for further information on the Hot Springs bus trip.
