The hardest Louisville football and basketball photos ever

What are the “hardest” Louisville football and basketball photos ever captured? I scoured the internet for some of my favorites.

While attempting to succinctly summarize the meaning behind each of these Louisville football and basketball photos, I realized that some of the greatest (and hardest) photos need to caption. A picture can say a thousand words, but in the case of many Louisville fans, the moments behind these photos mean much more.

In conformity with the current social media trend of posting the “hardest” sports moments, I scoured the internet for photos that say more than words ever could.

I do, quickly, want to mention that this article will skew toward more recent Louisville football and basketball moments. Simply put, older pictures are hard to find, and it’s even more difficult to credit sources.

With that said, if you own one of these photos or know who to credit, please reach out.

And, if you feel like an important moment was left out, give us a shout.

So here we have it; Some of the hardest pictures from Louisville football and basketball lore.
