Vic Koenning realizes he said something that the news-starved media will twist and take out of context in an effort to create drama and stay relevant. So he has apologized, because apparently the entire college football community lacks a sense of humor. Here's the quote that got him in trouble:

"Julio? You know what, I actually ran into Julio in the spring recruiting," Koenning said according to an account published in The (Columbia) State and a review of a tape recording of the interview. "I said hello to him and said, I guess I'll be seeing you at the end of August. Then he got out and got in his Escalade and drove off. That's serious.

"And then I went over and watched [Alabama freshman] Burton Scott at Vigor High School at the track over there," Koenning continued, "and Burton Scott was running around. He went and got in his Escalade out at track practice and drove off. So I'm familiar with those two guys."
