All of the Ralph Miller Show episodes that we have in our collections (with the exception of one that missed and one that is broken) have been digitized and are now available online!
The easiest way to get a sense of what has been done is to look at the “Ralph Miller Show” subhead under the “Basketball” header on this page: http://scarc.library.oregonstate.edu/osuhistory-videos.html
- All the videos have been tagged, so patrons can access the entire run through this link: https://media.oregonstate.edu/tag/tagid/ralph%20miller%20show
- Or go directly to a specific season through, for example a link like this: https://media.oregonstate.edu/tag/tagid/ralph%20miller%20show%20season%201
In every episode of the show, Miller and his co-host reviewed the previous weeks games and previewed what was coming next. Every episode usually also includes two interviews, most often with current players but sometimes with assistant coaches as well. From season to season, pre-produced features were also included in each episode: behind the scenes stories of the basketball program, discussions of Miller coaching philosophies, historical reviews of each of Miller’s seasons as head coach, and academic profile packages put together by OSU News and Communications. All of this was created during what was arguably the richest era in the history of OSU basketball.
Almost all of these films are on U-matic tapes, so kudos to Brian Davis a great thank you for unlocking them!
