Zoubek keeps the mood light in locker room
Nov 4, 2009
The "Cameron Crazies" like to chant "Fee Fi Fo Fum!" whenever he touches the basketball because he's so large. His teammates have nicknames for him. Brian Zoubek is one of those guys that keeps things comical in the Duke locker room. I learned this from freshman Mason Plumlee, who knows first hand because his locker is right next to Zoub's.
"Zoub's is funny as hell, I didn't even know," Plumlee said. "He's quiet funny though, with my locker room right next to him I hear all the funny things he says."
When the subject turned to baseball and Zoubek's Phillies Jon Scheyer joined in the discussion. "He's only a Phillies fan during the playoffs," he claimed.
To which Zoubek replied, "No one's a baseball fan during the regular season!" I kind of agree with that especially being an O's fan.
Speaking of nicknames for Zoubek other than Zoubs. Listen to the 2:45 spot in the track when Mason Plumlee has a mouth full of pizza. I believe he says his nickname is "Mr. Larson". I couldn't specify because the staff was ushering me out of the locker room at that point but Mr. Larson is the character in Happy Gilmore. He's the 7 foot giant that messes with Shooter McGavin. It makes sense.
"And you can count. On me. Waiting for you in the parking lot!"
