Scott Miller

Scott's definitely at the heart of this fanbase's connection to a very successful athletics program. His passion and professionalism is part of what makes gameday a top-notch presentation at NDSU and hearing that he's going through this is just heartbreaking. All the hope in the world to him.

I've never met Scott, but what a seemingly nice person. Good thoughts to him!

Me neither but I've heard him on the radio for so many years, whether it's games or just doing radio shows, I feel like I do know him.

Prayers to Scott Miller.

I remember Scott as the nerdy new sports guy in Minot and thought he would never last. He's done very well. I've never listened to him on the radio but it sounds like he is adored. I hope he gets well soon.

I'm pretty sure it was when I was in HS - late 80s. I was trying to confirm online. One article I found said he's a Minot native and has been in Fargo for 20 years so that fits.

Scott was in Grand Forks for a while. He was set to be the radio voice of the Grand Forks Varmints before he got the NDSU job in the mid 90's. We had to kind of scramble to find a new guy who turned out to be Jim Bohlman.

I remember him also. He would come to Rugby once in a while to cover games, just a gentleman always was and always will be. He literally brings the games alive for us listeners of his radio broadcast! He has become the standard of excellence.

Broadcaster Hall of Fame for Mr Miller

The only thing I don't like is you are never (well I shouldn't say never) sure where the ball is on the field. To my way of thinking if the team on offense is in their own territory, the ball is advanced up to, or out to the increased yardline. NOT, down to the increased yardline. Down to, happens after they go beyond midfield. I think they foul that up on TV broadcasts too, but there you can see what's going on. And yes, on the radio, you can shortly figure out what's happened, but it's irritating.

Apologies if Im reading this wrong...but IM not sure criticizing his play by play is appropriate in a thread about him fighting for his life.

I think it boils down to the intellectual ability of the listener!! That's what I think. I've never had a problem conceptualizing/visualizing what Scotty is saying.

Your mileage may very (YMMV) depending on your abilities. Jussayin'!!

Scottie is a true legend in his craft. You can close your eyes and picture yourself at the game just by listening to his words.

Two words for Scotty: "My Oh My"!!!

Agreed! My friends used to joke that they knew I was "too far gone" when they saw me syncing up the local commentary with the national video feed......but let's be honest..it just doesn't get any better than hearing Scottie call the game... Praying for him and his family...

Like I said in my post, it's mostly just irritating. It just makes me stop for a second and say, huh. Justsayin!! And btw, even though I can see what's happened on the TV broadcast, it still irritates me when it's called that way.

For the most part I like Scotty's broadcasting and it goes without saying I wish him the best with his battle.

This. ^^^

The mother of my kids classmates had pancreatic cancer. As the time went by it came time to plan her funeral.
Today she could kick the behinds of most on this board.
To that end, I will never give up hope.
But, Scotty is really, really struggling. My thoughts are with him for a miracle, but also for peace.

Fair point.

I certainly didn't see or intend it as criticism... more so as a fact that struck an amusing chord with me....sorry if it came across any other way.

Scotty is the best. I hope to hear him call many more games.

We have been blessed to have Scottie around.

That absolutely sucks.

I'm hoping his family finds strength and comfort during this difficult time.

Bison nation lost a great voice tonight...RIP Scotty...

KFGO's Scott Miller, voice of the Bison, dies at age 58
Thursday, February 25, 2016 1:27 a.m. CST

FARGO (KFGO) - Long time KFGO broadcaster Scott Miller has died of cancer.

Miller, the voice of the Bison and FM Redhawks, died at a Fargo hospital. He was first diagnosed with Melanoma in the spring of 2012. Despite rigorous treatment, the cancer spread progressively. Miller has been the play-by-play voice of NDSU football and basketball since 1996. He became the announcer for Redhawks baseball on 740 The Fan in 2006.

Miller, a two-time recipient of the North Dakota Associated Press Sportscaster of the Year Award, received several other state and regional honors during his lengthy career.

He grew up in Minot where he graduated from high school in 1976. His Bison broadcasts were heard on several radio stations in Minnesota and North Dakota with NDSU football broadcasts also carried by two stations in the Twin Cities.

Miller, known his signature "My oh My" calls on key plays, was surrounded by family at the time of his death. He was 58.

There will never be another My Oh My.

Thoughts & prayers go out to the Miller Family.

Man that is just unthinkable. Funny how some folks just seem larger than life...that was Scott. He'll be missed, that's certain.

This is terrible. This is painful man, simply painful. All I know is his voice and yet I feel much pain and so much loss ?

This is a huge void in the hearts and minds of a lot of people. Man why does this hurt so bad.

RIP Scott. This one hurts. Hell of a run he had there the last 7 years...man thatd be awesome to see everything he did, my oh my.

Absolutely soul crushing. Scotty will be impossible to replace in the booth and in the community.

My oh my, he made some great moments greater. RIP.

RIP Scottie, you are in a place now where there is no sickness nor pain. You will be missed because of the person you were. The joy you brought your listeners over radio will never be match. My oh My this is sad news. God Bless you Scottie.
