Point of personal privilege for the Observer to salute son Steve Springer.
Steve receiving his Master’s degree from the University of Louisville during commencement ceremonies. A long time coming but worth the wait, officially now a member of the UofL alumni family.
Lots of Louisville fans out there, but few with the level of commitment as Steve. He actually has the credentials to prove it, having been selected as the Biggest Fan of the Big East in 2011, beating out contestants in 15 other cities. Beat out his closest competitor by 64,458 votes in fan balloting, winning a 2011 Volvo, a $10,000 contribution to UofL, and a trip to the Big East Tournament at Madison Square Garden.
