No no no. Too similar to Sam Mack "the Knife" from Iowa State.

The rolling ball of butcher knifes was Norm Granger, strong fullback with halfback skills.

According to Hawkeye Sports Hayden Fry called Richard Bass a rolling ball of butcher knives. I personally thought it was David Hudson until I read this.

It was Richard Bass. For sure.

But I thought it was Zabel who gave him that nickname. ??

I kinda thought 'rolling ball of butcher knives' was Owen Gill or Norm Granger like other posters.

Then I remembered that Owen Gill was the 'Baby Bull'.

Maybe the butcher knives saying is yet another ubiquitous Fryism?

Scratch where it itches!

Bass was a four-year letterman for Coach Hayden Fry's Hawkeyes in the late 1980s. A 5-foot-11, 230-pound fullback who Fry called a "rolling ball of butcher knives" captained and was named co-Most Valuable Player of Iowa's 1989 squad. Bass played on Hawkeye teams that advanced to the 1986 and 1987 Holiday Bowl games and the 1988 Peach Bowl.
