		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this fall we launched BTN Connect, a great place to go during Saturday football games to track the Twitter conversations surrounding your teams, vote in TV polls, and find out what names are trending. For instance, when Michigan State&#8217;s Le&#8217;Veon Bell made the leap (see video in this post), his name took off on Twitter. But we also collect the best of the fan photos out there and lay them out on the school pages. How do we find them? Among other ways, we monitor each of the 12 Twitter hashtags. We&#8217;ve spotlighted a few of the latest photos [&#8230;]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=btn.com&#038;blog=26303122&#038;post=69972&#038;subd=bigtennetworks&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
