Scott Miller’s Roaring “My Oh My!” Silenced

“My Oh My!”

The famous signature call by Scott Miller will be missed and forever remembered in the Metro.

Those who knew him more than an announcer and just as “Scottie”.
 
Many knew him as the voice of the Bison and RedHawks.

But for nearly four years Scott Miller battled Melanoma, a type of skin cancer.

He passed away this morning at the age of 57.

Everyone who knew Scott, all had the same thing to say about him.

That he was selfless and just a wonderful person.
 
“To me Scottie, wasn’t the voice of the Bison. Scottie was a friend. He was someone who was passionate about everything in life,” says friend, Carrie Snyder.
 
Scott Miller’s roaring, “My Oh My,” famous saying might be the first thing that comes to mind when people think of him.

But to those who really knew him, like Snyder, he was always warm with a smile.

Something that people may not know about Scott was his quick wit and sense of humor.
 
“He always threw a total curve ball in there, where you’re like ‘Whoa , did you say that?'” says Caryn Olson.
 
Olson knew Scott for 13 years and spent airtime alongside him at Scheel’s.

Those in his inner circle knew of Scott’s fight against cancer.

But nothing could prepare them for moments when he would be missed.
 
Olson adds, “Talking about Bison, talking about life, mostly just having that conversation. That’s what I’m really going to miss the most about him is just having a conversation with him.”
 
Always a rainbow in someone else’s cloud, Scott Miller’s passing leaves many feeling hollow.

But his legacy will continue to live on.
 
“Every press box, press row or radio booth he ever touched is going to have an emptiness to it,” says Snyder.
 
Those are big shoes to fill, that’s why the RedHawks has dedicated its press box in honor of Scott.

Plans for the press box are still being organized but the RedHawks couldn’t let Scott go without him knowing what kind of an impact he’s had on them.
 
“We wanted Scottie to know what he meant to us while he was here. He was tickled to death,”says RedHawks CEO Brad Thom, “He absolutely lived for the sport. He loved it. He was a great. He definitely will never be replaced. And he will be missed.”
 
The Redhawks will have the Scott Miller Press Box at the Home Opener May 27th.

Scheel’s in Fargo say they plan to add Scott Miller in their Hall of Fame collection.
