Even though Mike Reis is irreplaceable, in my opinion, I really enjoyed Martin’s infectious enthusiasm throughout last night’s radio broadcast. 

It is very obvious he busts his tail and wants to deliver a good product. 

Looking forward to hearing more. 

What did everyone else think?

I was impressed loved the enthusiasm but at times it sounded a little forced which is understandable in replacing a legend I believe once he relaxes a little and realize he has the job he will be better as far as key calls but I may be nitpicking which is what my wife says it's what I do best

Agree. One think I liked about Mike is that he was so natural. Didn't talk too much - just right. I think Luke will cool it a bit and be more natural eventually, but he's doing fine. I especially appreciate some of his pre-season coverage since Weber has defaulted to the camcorder last couple of years for any info and The Southern doesn't do much now that it's not really a local newspaper.

He is outstanding.

I’m impressed by his knowledge of the roster after just a few months on the job. I realize it’s expected that he knows it, but it seems like he’s been covering the team for years.

Kudos to SIU/Learfield for stepping up and making his hire.

I’ve been impressed with Luke.  He seems like a good hire who is very passionate about his work.  His preseason content has been very enjoyable and his game call was good as well.  Very well done so far!

Guys, the man grew up in Indiana, they don’t even teach football there until what, 12th grade?

College? 😇 

I thought he did a really good job. And the fact that his very first Saluki TD call was possibly an error?   Makes me like him even more. 😎

Why can’t he do the audio for ESPN?  The ESPN clowns were almost unlistenable.

We were on the road for a lot of the weekend so we didn't get to see the game but I listened to a lot of the first half. I enjoyed listening to Luke. I thought he got a little over-hyped a few times early but SIU played like it deserved it. I attributed it to first-game nerves. But yes, I thought he did well.

BTW, I am proud of you guys. I read through the whole game thread and I didn't see one person say, "WHERE THE HELL IS REIS????"

I will really miss Reis during basketball when someone rises up and hits a 3 and I won't hear the signature BOOK IT

I just listened to him for the first time in the highlight sizzle reel and I like him a lot.  Going to be a smooth transition from Reis.

Doing an excellent job thus far. Very professional on the air, and have loved his interviews as well. Thanks for becoming a Saluki Luke!
