The end of an era is near for Tigres. But the thing is, it isn’t just any era; it’s their golden era. That’s right. For the past 11 years, we’ve seen nothing but high levels of competitiveness, success, titles, but more than anything, consistency.

There was always intensity, always a gameplan, and for better or worse, if any player dared to get funny, he was immediately taken out. Tuca simply wouldn’t have it.
