This box showed up at the Utah Football office today.

Apparently the staff got a pretty good chuckle out of it.

I was thinking that - I almost want Popular Mechanics to call a game against me a "cupcake game", then I can act mildly insulted for a few days and be assured that cupcakes will show up at my office. I don't see how this is a bad deal at all really, but then my colleagues probably wouldn't let this go without some sharing being part of the deal.

Sorry, I thought the context was widely known. Apparently Popular Mechanics magazine posts an event calendar every month. The writer that puts it together is a huge UM fan and thought it would be fun to put this in for the 3rd. The college football season begins as Michigan visits Utah in a cupcake game. At first a lot of the local media thought it was from an official UM publication and was taking it as a slap to Utah but now that it's been found to be from Popular Mechanics it's become a pretty widespread source of humor. There was rumor that Coach Whitt taped a copy of this to each locker with the note, "See? This is what Popular Mechanics thinks of you" to have a little fun with it.

Stove, oven & sink all work, icebox works but the drain hose is broken which isn't an issue as we use it to store wine & margarita glasses.  Seats in the back pull out to form two twin size beds.  Electric works from a 700 watt inverter and two deep cycle marine batteries.

I really want to know who ate those cupcakes. Players or the coaches or both. I bet the coaches left those cupcakes in the players' lockers.

Off topic af, but can we please refer to Brian Kelly as "Brian Jelly" from now on because when he turns purple, it looks like his head is made of grape jelly? / I'll hang up and listen.
