"I was in the weight room working out, and [Ron Zook] walked by and said I was looking good," said Robinson, who played baseball for the Illini. "I told him thanks, and then he asked me what position I played.

"I said, ‘catcher.’ "

The puzzled Zook "didn’t have a clue who I was," Robinson said.

The ZOOKER strikes again!

He didn’t even need to use twitter to embarrass himself this time.

Zook replied:

“That’s funny. ‘Cause I’m a pitcher.”

/sorry

I've sentenced boys younger than you to the gas chamber. Didn't want to do it. I felt I owed it to them.

I am so embarrassed

that I jumped to the same thought that you did.

Less memorable than Sam Okey's Hawkeye career.

Welcome to my life.

I usually feel plenty of embarrassment even before I make stupid jokes. Embarrassment and insecurity.

I overcome feelings of embarrassment and insecurity

by making fun of other people.

ROTFLMAO Zook is such a tool!!!

I almost hope Illinois wins 8 games this year

just so we have a couple more years of this hilarity in the Big 10. I mean, I’m glad Nebraska’s joining the Big 10 in 2011, but I just don’t see Pelini filling the role of the league’s “Zooker”. The robodroned soundbites just won’t be the same.

that would be awesome...

I almost feel for Illinois…who, by the way, has NEVER held the #1 ranking in the AP poll for even a week. The only other BIg Ten team to have that distinction? Indiana. (Yes, even jNU held it for 5 weeks in their illustrious history of football mediocrity)

Such a shame.

I ate the blue ones ... they taste like burning.
