I was trying to watch a Syracuse Basketball game online and stream it to my television but for some reason I was not getting any sound. I guess I could have just sat there with no audio, but that just seems weird to me. A big part of watching the game is being able to hear it. Sometimes I would rather watch a game at home than go to it live, because I like to hear the announcers. But here I was, five minutes until tip off and I wasn't getting any audio whatsoever.
Enter the TuneIn Radio app on my phone.
I've had this app on my phone for a while now, but I have never really gotten to use it. I occasionally listen to a friend of mine on the radio in Buffalo but I never really needed it to listen to a Syracuse game until this one.
It couldn't have been any easier to find the game that I was looking for.
When I started the app I saw that I could browse a bunch of different categories including sports. From there I found the page for Syracuse University and much to my surprise there was the local radio feed for my beloved Syracuse Orange. They are one of 85 college basketball broadcasts that TuneIn will carry this winter. So unless you are a fan of the Geneseo State Blue Knights, it's a safe bet that you will be able to listen to your team online.
I used to get the Syracuse radio feed at my house in Central New Jersey. I would have to slowly go through the radio dial and find it between all of the static. You think you found it, but then it turns out to be Rush Limbaugh or Dr. Drew Pinsky. It was a pain in the butt. Now, it's just a few taps on my phone and I can hear the beautiful voice of Matt Park and the sweet sounds of the Carrier Dome. Technology is utterly amazing. No longer do I have to listen to the annoying Dick Vitale.
*I was compensated by TuneIn and Life of Dad for my thoughts on this. All opinions are my own, unless my wife tells me otherwise.
