Scott Miller was inducted into the Georgia Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in January 2022. This career highlights video was played during the ceremony.

This career highlight video was used to introduce Scott Miller in the Chattahoochee Valley Sports Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.

As a play-by-play man in Columbus since 1976, Scott Miller has painted the scene of many great moments for listeners throughout the Chattahoochee Valley. On Saturday, Miller himself will be the focus, with his induction into the Chattahoochee Valley Hall of Fame. “When I first got the word, I was extremely humbled and proud to be joining that group,” Miller said. “You look through there, and there are some great names. There are names you recognize nationally.”

Sixty-one games into a grueling season Scott Miller’s scratchy throat was in need of rest and relief. There was still baseball left to be played so Thursday night the 63-year-old play-by-play announcer sequestered himself in his hotel room while Columbus State University’s road-weary group went out in search of food, knowing they would end up in a chain restaurant where the grub tastes just like the place they ate last week.

Miller understands this better than most folks. He’s on a road trip that began in 1977, riding shotgun with four head coaches for 41 years and more than 2,000 baseball games. Players from the Cougars’ starting lineup that first season qualify for AARP and might be the third baseman’s grandpa. But with his favorite team two victories away from a second NCAA Division II World Series trophy, Miller was in a hotel room in Cary, N.C. nursing a voice that has never let him down.

Columbus State University Hall of Fame broadcaster Scott Miller received the Gabby Award, handed out by the Georgia Association of Broadcasters on Saturday night. The award, for the Best Play-By-Play Broadcast, was presented at the annual Gabby Awards held at the Jekyll Island Convention Center. It’s the fourth time in five years that Miller has been honored by the Georgia Association of Broadcasters.

He's the voice of Columbus State University. But to people who follow Cougar basketball and baseball games, he is Columbus State University. The institution has gone from college to university. They play in an arena instead of a gym. They've competed in various conferences and head coaches have come and gone. The constant is Scott Miller, imploring us to find our lucky spot when games are in jeopardy.

The Voice of the Cougars since 1977, Scott Miller will be awarded the Herbert Greene Golden Cougar award. Defining the true meaning of Cougar spirit, Miller has helped grow the reach of Columbus State's footprint with his memorable calls. He has been a permanent figure in CSU history, creating lifelong bonds with current and former Cougar student-athletes, coaches, and administrators.

His listeners have long known his talent far exceeds his market size. For the most part, his audience has been small. But two weeks ago, when the Cougars journeyed to their first national championship in baseball. Scott Miller found himself with an audience literally halfway around the world. Justin Demant's mother listened to every nail-biting pitch from Australia via the Internet. Miller confessed that his palms were sweating so much in the late innings of the championship game that he couldn't hold his pen. But, like the players themselves, Miller delivered his best performance in the clutch. “That was his place and his time," said Herbert Greene, CU's athletic director and one of Miller's closest friends. "And he rose to the occasion."
