I gotta say I'm not normally a real emotional guy but but listening to the radio tributes and old highlights made me tear up like a little girl. (Especially the one that had the Slade song, My Oh My.)
Damn we lost a good one. Scotty could have been a Big Ten, NFL, or MLB announcer. Luckily he fell in love with our city and remained loyal. There will never be another Scotty Miller. You will live on forever in spirit and your radio calls will be heard forever by Bison Nation. Rest in peace.
Wonder if they'll do some kind of tribute at the home opener next season.
Count on itQuote:

Crazy thing is I don't know if I've heard his call the Woodside shot in 2009 that sent NDSU dancing?
Sent from Win8 phone on a bullet train from Hillsboro.
In recent years, since I was streaming, I did not get to hear his calls much. But like others, I always had him on after the game, either in Sioux Falls, or at the game itself. I think a special memory for me in recent years were the game review You Tube's that NDSU started putting out. They always opened with Scottie's "set up" piece. They are always so blasted good.
It wasn't that time actually. Jack Michaels talked about it on his show yesterday. Apparently it was back in the late 90s or very early 2000s when the Bison were still D2 and they were in Mankato. Apparently this streaker was buck naked whereas the one in Sioux Falls at least had the courtesy to wear a speedo and a cape (if that image is burned into my mind correctly).Quote:

Regarding that Walker-to-Heckendorf pass versus SHSU: lots of people left early thinking it was a Bison loss. I contend that the noise on that TD pass was the loudest per person in the Dome's history. Sure, there were louder games to come, but that night EVERYONE who was left yelled like mad. Can never get enough of that clip and Scott's call of the play.
Amen to this. I was not only still at the game, I was recording with my cam-corder(ok that already sounds old), got the whole pass play recorded, but I never stopped it, so I got the P.A.T. also, and even THEN the crowd erupted again!! Loudest-per-person? I dont doubt that one bit!Quote:

Plus...it was Bison Fans being Bison Fans...Getting LOUD!!!
I am sure whoever calls Bison FB and BB games going forward will have their own style and catch phrases - imitating Scottie during the broadcast just wouldn't have the same impact IMO.Quote:
