Oregon State Return Hero Missing

One of the Return Man Award's finalists last year, Sammie Stroughter, is out of practice for personal reasons sez The Oregonian. And not just sitting on the sideline sipping on a drink with a funny umbrella in it while his teammates toil in the Corvallis sun---he ain't there. Beavers Coach Mike Riley isn't too worried, telling folks that Sammie's taking off for personal reasons (none of which include reenacting the 1971 D.B. Cooper hijacking out of Portland), but won't expand on what those reasons might be.
