A huge thank you to Howie Lindsey of the Louisville Sports Report for pinning a link on Louisville.rivals.com, encouraging U of L fans to vote for Steve Springer in the Biggest Fan of the Big East Contest.

You may have seen Steve’s challenge posts on here about the contest. What you donít know is that Mackenzie, his 8-year-old daughter, was stricken with Transverse Myelitis, a rare crippling disease that has required extensive and expensive treatment at Vanderbilt, the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins over the last several months.

Steve is a rabid U of L basketball and football fan and the contest has provided a nice diversion to some of the many challenges involved with Mackenzie’s disease. The Volvo competition lasts for three more weeks, and a new car is at stake. You can vote for him here daily.

Thanks, too, to CardinalCouple, Cardinal Dominance, Inside the Ville, and Cardinal Laws for their support. Now let’s get this done.
