Louisville fans of all ages have been privileged enough to witness individual greatness over the years.
For the old timers there was of course Darrell Griffith, who made good on his promise to bring a national championship to his hometown and became known as one of the greatest college basketball players of all-time in the process. The new schoolers got to experience their own consensus first team All-American with Russ Smith, and were able to fall in love with him and the rest of the 2012-13 national championship team.
On the gridiron, fans who were showing up to Louisville football games before the team was winning Sugar Bowls and competing for conference championships can tell you all about Johnny Unitas in the years prior to him becoming one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history.
