Ugh, I just want Scotty back. He wasn't just the voice of the Bison to many of us that don't live in/near Fargo. He connected us back to our home. I can't imagine ANYONE topping what he did, at least from my current state of mind. Probably one of the best aspects of watching all of this draft and post-draft coverage has been all of the extra "My-Oh-My"'s that I've been able to listen to as they pull CW clips from the past into their dialog.

I suspect that most folks are aware of this, but I may be biased by living in Seattle. The "my oh my" line is not Scotty's. Rather, he "borrowed" it from the famed long time play-by-play sportscaster for the Seattle Mariners, Dave Niehaus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Niehaus). I assume Scotty borrowed the phrase in tribute to Dave's greatness, and I'm sure Scotty is not the only one who has. Don't get me wrong... I always loved when I heard Scotty say it, but I think it's worth being aware of the origins. Even Dave reportedly got the inspiration for the line from a fellow sportscaster.

Seems like Jeff is a great fit, and I wish him well. Whether he chooses to carry on the tradition of "my oh my" or start his own catch phrases makes no difference to me as long as he is able to get fans excited about Bison sports!

My thoughts on "my oh my" were that I loved it the first time I heard him say it. But when I realized how often he said it it became a bit annoying. Eventually though it grew on me to where it just seemed natural.

I wouldn't be offended if Jeff started using it. But I'm also fine if he doesn't.

I stand corrected on Scotty and his famous expression. I guess my only point was that it might seem like someone was trying too hard to take Scotty's place by using that phrase and I wouldn't want that. Just want them to be themselves.

Best guess at the new catch phrase from the videos is:

ARE YOU --- KIDDING --- ME!

Maybe a good old Gomer Pyle Shazam as a catch phrase.

I was hoping you guys would pick up the guy who just retired from the University of Milwaukee. He would fit right in on BV!

http://thebiglead.com/2016/04/15/uw-milwaukee-radio-announcer-quits-trashes-school-administrators-on-instagram/

To quote Groucho Marx "Hello, I must be going!" Before the decision is made for me, I am officially announcing my retirement as the voice of Milwaukee Panthers Men's basketball. I would say it's taking the last life boat off the Titanic, but that would be unfair to the crew of the Titanic. Never have so many competant, talented people been run off by such a talentless group of entitled beaurocrats. No matter how much the coaches, players, and support staff care, they can't overcome incompetent administrators. UWM leads the world in incompetent administrators. I criticize awful athletic directors like Koonce, Costello, Geiger, and Braun. It's not their fault. Hell, if they elected me President I'ld take the job. If I suck at it, it's not my fault. I'm not qualified to be President. Should Amanda Braun turn down an AD job just because she's horribly under qualified? Hell no. She's a bad AD, and a deplorable human being, but those are the cards she's been dealt. Those in charge of the UW System have failed to hire effective administrators. Failed. F F F F! It has been my pleasure to work with the wonderful players and coaches for 17 seasons. The players, coaches, parents and the fans have been like my family. I will miss Panther hoops the rest of my life. Best of luck to my friends that are still imprisoned at UWM Athletics. Fight on, brothers (and sisters.) Keep your heads low and make us proud. Finally, best of luck to LaVall Jordan, his staff, and the players. As so often happens in the NCAA, it's not your fault. Win and get out quick, because long term is fatal at UWM Athletics. Panther Nation, it has been my pleasure.Cheers!

IMO it might be prudent when following a legend with a signature catch phrase like Scotty,....to NOT have one. Might seem forced and would always get compared to Scotty. Hes got to carve his own path and make it his own. I know most sportscasters have them, but in this case I think it might be a good way to go.

Edit...on the other hand he might already have a catch phrase too. If he does Im guessing he will most likely stick with it.

For the first game he did well. He looks promising.

[bisonmike2]

Listened to his highlights and he did a great job. Sadly, after most of his calls I kept thinking I was going to hear a "my oh my". It's going to take a while to get used to not expecting that.

[Ferd]

I enjoy Jeff's announcing, but the 5 second delay annoyed me so much I quit listening.

[Opie11]

Due to it being in the middle of harvest, I listened to last nights game on the radio. Having listened to Scotty for so many years I was a little apprehensive to hear the play by play without him handling the call, but to me it seemed like a pretty smooth transition to a new guy from one who had become a legend. I certainly also missed the my oh my a time or two and the easy way Scotty meshed with Phil, but I'm sure that will come with a few broadcasts together. Not really something that can be practiced I imagine. I thought it was very good and will likely only get better as he becomes more and more familiar with the team. I also find his voice easy to listen to which is always a bonus.

Jeff had never called play by play for a football game before last night.

Jeff did good. Certainly can be improved but solid for his first outing. The only thing missing is some sort of, not necessarily a catch phrase but something to put an end to a big play. Seemed incomplete. Just something at the end... A wow, an are you kidding me, a put a dress on me and call me Shirly, a holy fuck... a something!

Jeff did very well. A few times he got a little excited and seemed to talk a little too fast. He called Charleston Southern Charlton Southern a few times. I really liked at the end of the broadcast when he said "Horns Up, Charleston Southern, Down"

I like that 'holy fuck'.

At least that's still close to the school's name. Unlike Mack Brown who started calling them Georgia Southern in the middle of the game.

Mack Brown isn't the greatest color guy

So I wasn't hearing things after all.

Did ESPN hire KVLY's director for their production? Lots of crazy shots where cameras were moving all over and zooming in and out between plays. :)

He clearly didn't do his research. Kept saying Colin Connor has a ton of experience. Like really?

Have listened to bits and pieces of a couple of Grand Forks Community College games on the radio this fall hoping that my second favorite team was beating them. Jack Michaels is nearly unlistenable. The gap between Jeff and him is even wider than the one between the football teams.

I listened to the end of the UND/Weber State game and so much this! I think Jack does a good job with baseball, but not a fan of his interviewing style and him doing football everything seems so... forced. So much the opposite of Scotty Miller where everything seemed so authentic.

Jeff is doing a great job. Has a great radio voice.

I think he is doing a great job as well. Keith Brake is also. Maybe it is just me, but does Jeff and Keith voices sound really similar? Glad to have them both on board.

I've thought the same. Are they brothers separated at birth?:hide:

[StL Bison Fan]

I think it is the little extras he puts in. Like the Fargo and beyond thing and of course Horns Up.
I have warmed up to Brake (especially after his ranking rant)

If I've got a beef with Brake, I think he overestimates the popularity of hockey in Fargo.

He will figure it out. He's new.

I listened to him for the first time this last weekend.brought he did a good job. Loved Phil and all the inside football stuff he brings.
