Mike McCarthy's excellent weekend
Packers coach Mike McCarthy had a busy but delightful day on Saturday, when he was inducted into the Baker University Athletic Hall of Fame in Baldwin City, Kan., during the Packers' bye weekend.
There was lunch, the induction ceremony, a press conference, a visit to the renovated Liston Stadium, an autograph session, another press conference with Baker students, a pregame speech to the Baker Wildcats and time spent watching Baker's 13-7 win over Central Methodist.
Before the game, though, McCarthy stopped at the home of Baker athletics director Dan Harris, who was an assistant coach at Baker when McCarthy was a tight end for the Wildcats in 1985 and 1986.
"He came over to the deck of my house and we had 15 or 20 of the old players over there," Harris told the Baldwin City Signal. "We sat around and told old stories. That was one of the most fun parts of events like that.
"Mike himself even said one of the most enjoyable parts was just relaxing with the guys on my deck."
