Ask the Edmonton Rush players what they think of “Guaranteed Win Night” and the responses are varied. They range from “Oh, wow!” to “Oh, no.” But after some consideration even the doubters became excited at the prospect of playing in such a contest.

And the consensus is that the promotion - which allows fans to get the cost of tickets taken off the purchase of equivalently priced 2007 season tickets if the Rush don’t win tomorrow night’s contest with the Portland LumberJax - hardly came as a shock. (You’ve Gotta Win)

I thought this was a fun take on the Guaranteed Win promotion: A story on what the players think of it, along with some history about famous player guarantees.

The bad news: Edmonton lost 15-12, but it was a nice reward to the loyal fan base. As one Edmonton player noted “Hey, we’re 1-12 and we’re getting 10,000 a game.”
