Luke's favorite sports memories include being one of the thousands of kids who waited to get Cal Ripken's autograph after Orioles games in the summer of 1995, attending the Super Bowl XXXV victory parade with his father in the pouring rain, and watching the Terps advance to the Final Four at the Carrier Dome in 2002.

  1. Glad to see you both have some offensive lineman in your group. To me they have been the biggest surprise of the season so far. Was very impressed with the job they did both in run and pass blocking Sunday night.
