Perhaps the answer to my question is common knowledge but I was thinking about this on my drive to my meetings today, how and when did 'My Oh My' originate? My guess is that it came about organically and it stuck, but wasn't sure.
Man, this just sucks.

I worked for NDSU as an intern for a year, talked to Scotty a few times. Just a great humble down to earth guy. So sad to see him go so young, I grew up listening to him call Bison games it won't be the same listening to anybody else. Just a sad day.
NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.

Liberals of BV need not respond to my posts. I don’t need to get any more dumb.

Scottie's words on the pregame videos for bison football always set the table perfectly.

My boss hates it when I shorten his name to Dick, mainly because his name is Steven.
I moved away from Fargo in mid 1995. I had been a die hard NDSU FB fan for the better part of 12 years by that time. Because I was so far away, I naturally drifted from my connection with the program. As technology improved my ability to listen to/watch games remotely, Scotty totally reeled me back in. He's fully responsible for my re-connection to this remarkable program. His passion and excitement, and the clear love that he had for his craft, made me feel like and integral part of the moment. Every. Single. Time. Scotty was talking to ME all these times. He knew I needed him.
I remember so many games that I watched via webcast. They used the video from those shitty little screens in the corners of the FFD and overlaid the radio guys for audio. Frankly, it couldn't have been much more perfect...even with the poor picture quality. For away games, I'd buy the opposing team's webcast and still overlay Scotty and Phil for audio. Even when ESPN3 came into the picture, I would often pull Scotty back in because HE made it special for me.
I'm sitting in my office here in Portland with my staff all around me and I am actually a bit self-conscious about how much this affects me.
Scotty was one in a million.
MY OH MY.
Insert something clever here...
This sucks. TSCF called it, it feels weird to admit that this loss hurts because I never knew the guy, but man, my emotions rose and fell on the tenor of his voice for many Saturdays. Damn, I'll miss that guy.
I hope the new person they get to call the games finds a way to pay tribute to Scottie during the broadcast. Maybe using "My oh my" every now and then, or something. Either way, I'll be looking for it.
