With the Bluejays holding a little momentum following their weekend win at Evansville, Dana Altman’s team gets a crack at another winless conference team when the Drake Bulldogs travel the icy terrain of I-80 and come to Omaha for a midweek game. And with snow in the forecast once again, Bluejays fans will no doubt need to plan a few extra minutes into their pregame preparations before heading to the Qwest Center for all the action.
At White & Blue Review, we want to make sure you are always aware of the different media at your disposal for keeping track of every Bluejays game, home and away. With schools closed on Wednesday and if you are brave enough to endure the adventure of the wintry weather, come on down to the Qwest Center. If you can’t make it down to the Phone Booth, there are several broadcasts and media ways to catch the game anyway.
