Update: Michigan calls it a sellout. Fans in attendance disagree.
Photos of Michigan Stadium looking very non-sellout-y
The Wolverines have the Gophers in the Big House, along with a whole bunch of fans ... but not quite enough.
Michigan football is falling apart. A 2-2 team that’s failing in incredible ways and a Ha! Ha! Business! culture completely at odds with UM traditions have led to, among other things, an act of desperation: free Wolverines tickets with the purchase of Coca-Cola.

— angelique (@chengelis) September 27, 2014 The reason for that Coke fiasco (it was about the safest thing that can be described by those two words, at least) was Michigan’s 254-game sellout streak, an impressive run considering that stadium holds more than 100,000 people. That run is over as soon as Michigan wants to admit it’s over.
Per @Johnubacon, UM "dumping" tix at public schools, churches, golf courses. Non-FB student-athletes given tix, pressured to bring friends.
