Jerome "The Bus" Bettis:
Jerome "The Bus" Bettis: credits the Notre Dame school newspaper for coining his well-known nickname, The Bus - because he ran over people just like a bus on his way into the end zone. Pittsburgh Steelers announcer Myron Cope is the one credited with turning the nickname into a household word, however.
