With its 35-20 win in overtime against Winthop,  Leverett now has the 2009 IM Football Championship in the bag.  But even such a stunning victory might have been quickly forgotten if not for LevSPN, the YouTube channel dedicated to Leverett sporting and musical events.  Featuring videos covering everything from swimming to singing to stand-up comedy, LevSPN  forever immortalizes the heroic efforts of Leverett students.

More on LevSPN, after the jump.

Charles T. James, a junior Gov concentrator, created LevSPN in February.

"I got the idea on a whim to do kind of a SportsCenter feature," said LevSPN creator Charles T. James '10.  "I came up with a logo and a name as kind of a joke."

But after receiving positive feedback and realizing that he enjoyed making the videos, James said he decided to do LevSPN more consistently. Since its launch in February, he has produced over 40 videos.

"It's now something that I do once a week or once every couple of weeks," he said.  James sends the link to the videos over the Leverett email list, and he said he thinks that the videos have helped increase interest in IMs.

"A lot of people are very psyched about individual recognition," he said, "because if a person plays well they deserve to be featured for what they do."

And for those conerned that the IM season is drawing to a close, James said he plans to continue LevSPN's coverage next year.
