Thanks Greg. Looks like you want to replace Michigan with Princeton in your text.

Also, can someone please help me with the instructions on getting the audio for the matches. It hasn’t worked for me all season. I go to Gopsusports, then I go to Teams, scroll down to select Wrestling. I then see upcoming events, I see the Princeton dual listed, it shows the date, time, and venue. But I’m not seeing any link or arrow next to any text for audio. The only link I see is the B1G link at the bottom which takes me to the B1G app. I thought it was an issue with my phone browser, but it’s not working on my laptop either. Can anyone please help. Tia.

Gopsusports.com > Multimedia > Lion Vision > (then look for the Listen Live for the Princeton dual)

This is what usually works for me.

I've been struggling to get anything on gopsusports, but have had good luck with the Wowy app. Try that.

Thank you very much, looks like that works.

I’ve had issues with Lionvision all year, as well. Think I maybe got it to work once and that’s it.

I’ve only had the one main issue when they moved the Maryland dual. Thank goodness for the board to get the WOWY link for that. The biggest issue I have is trying to sync Lionvision up with the BIG+ video link. Lionvision seems to be ahead of the video stream by 30-40 seconds. When I pause the Lionvision audio and then start it again, that is when it seems to loose its mind and drops. It seems like a buffering issue in their side for that long of a hold. Thank you Greg for all that you do for PSU wrestling. It’s been a hell of a ride and no end in site

 

[JakkL]

I hope we rest the guys who were cut against duhOSU. We don't want to give our opponents free lung breaks in the B10 tournament.

One too many. Tonight would be 86 straight.

I live in Costa Rica and I've never had a problem. Every once in awhile Byers cuts out but then I just reboot it and it works again.

 

[CentexLion]

Yeah, that is what happens to me. It drops, and then I need to relaunch gopsusports-->multimedia-->lionvision-->wrestling

Takes a bit to do that. And if it crashes in the middle of a MM match, I'm back on audio and Levi already has a takedown and 1 30 seconds riding time

Good to know and glad to hear it! For whatever reason I have had the opposite luck; nothing I try seems to work reliably.

I have been unable to get the stream to work at all from the Go PSU App. I've had better luck online just searching "Lionvision." (This has produced better results than using multiple bookmarks.) WOWY website has worked as well, but I can't get passed looking at their zany FM DJs.

He's still mad he can't match Cael's record.

I've had issues on occasion with my android phone using Chrome as browser on dead air. I have had some luck clearing everything including the initial goPSUsports link for the session and also deleting history for the day. I then relink as noted above.
Hope that helps .

If Lionvision is not working for you, instead of going to the WOWY App, tell Alexa to play WOWY. You can then sync by tapping on Alexa's screen to pause and resume playing.

I have to disable my ad/popup blocker in order for it to work on my computer.

If you use the plus/minus (10 sec). controls t the bottom of the page it seems to work better. It never seems to work just by stopping and restarting. it’s always better to stop/start the video instead of the lionvision stream.

Or maybe he is ahead of the curve.

 

[Stevej]

I have had problems with Lionvision a lot in past years, just stopping all the time, but this year it's been perfect for me on my Android phone and my computer. Weird...

I've been trying for years to get Lionvision. It has never worked. Time for PSU to do an upgrade.

 

[Efejle]

Penn State has found another year of eligibility for Gas Tank Gary and he gets the nod tonight at 285.

The only reason being that I love the nickname

I do too and absolutely agree.

Only home match I’ve missed this year. . Been battling a bad cold and decided the folks next to me might not appreciate me coughing and sneezing in them.

I appreciate Mr. Haines beard.

Aaron Nagao to retire from the sport, re. Ironhead. Best wishes for a remarkable future. By all accounts, Aaron is a really great guy and he's been a great Penn Stater.
