Ok, based on feedback from people in the thread and re-reading your 
initial explanation, I *think* this is what you want:

user_requests = Hash.new{[]}

File.foreach("my_log.txt") do |line|
  user = line[/US=(\w+)/,1]
  user_requests[user] += line
end

max_user_info = user_requests.max{|a,b| a[1].size <=> b[1].size}

puts "User name: #{max_user_info[0]}"
puts "Requests:"
max_user_info[1].each do |request|
  puts request
end
