OSU's Sammie Stroughter makes an appearance at practice

According to the Oregonian's Beaver Blog, Oregon State Beavers' wide receiver Sammie Stroughter, who's been MIA from fall camp thus far, showed up for a few minutes at practice on Saturday, watching quietly from the end zone.

No one knows (or will say) what his deal is. Some of his teammates say he doesn't look happy. If it's serious "personal issues", I would take this year off, if I were him, and do whatever he needs to get straight. Stroughter is a great wide receiver, and his presence (under normal circumstances) would be good for the Pac-10. But if his head's not in the game, there's no sense in him being there, as a distraction to the Beavers, who are preparing for August 30th. For his sake though, I hope Stroughter gets to being back to his old self again.
