Another Redbird on the verge of 1000

Just bringing this over from the Loyola game thread...
Dick is as good a man as he is a broadcaster. When I was in high school, probably a freshman, I knew wanted to get into sports broadcasting and grew up listening to Dick and was infatuated with radio. I reached out to him during Redbird football season and within hours he got back to me and had me up with him at the next home football game. He taught me some of the tricks of the trade and put me to work. He had me back for another game that season as well. Five years later, I got the opportunity to work with Dick on Redbird football and basketball broadcasts for three years when I was working in radio. He was always courteous and available to answer any and all questions. In business, and the media industry specifically, a lot of people do not see proper recognition for their work. To this day, Dick goes out of his way to make sure everyone who had a hand in working the broadcast gets on-air recognition. This is unheard of in media. He is a true professional and we are lucky to have him.

I love listening to Dick Luedke. always a very nice guy and i enjoy every game he broadcasts.
he's a treasure.

What all the rest of you said and more. There is not a classier guy around. He has certainly seen a lot. The only person I ever heard of who didn’t love Dick Luedke was Bob Donewald. That’s a badge of honor right there! Seriously....what a gift we have in one of the best play-by-play guys in college basketball. The best in my opinion. I worked with Dick at State Farm and he was every bit as great a pro there as on the broadcasts. Congratulations to Mr. Luedke!
