@JHickman: Bora really really wacky SOB, the minute after Hugo was fired, everyone on the street start making jokes about Bora as the replacement.

I agree, Aguirre should not comeback, he already used the national team as a jumping point to coach at Spain, and as much as great as I guess is to be the coach of a national team it's not the same experience as to coach every week in one of the best leagues and have the opportunity to coach at the champions league, which is the highest football tournament in my opinion.

The Pre-hex looks difficult, mostly because it starts in late-June, right? and the team owners keep saying that the new coach is going to named and take duties at mid-June, I think the first couple of games are going to be really painful, but we have some good players finally playing in european leagues (Salcido, Guardado, Pardo, Vela, Gio) and they better put some commitment in those games.

The other problem with Hugo is that he was very annoying when he was critic of Lavolpe, and then he got EVEN more annoying when he started to fail miserably game after game.

@JHickman: I don't think the next coach will be Peckerman, it looks like it's going to be either Michel (Real Madrid player who played at the same time with Butragueño and Hugo) or Aguirre (which personally I don´t think because he's with the Atleti and persuing a place for the Champions League), but we'll know in June for sure, right now is only speculation.

In my opinion we need a foreign coach with different strategies, ideas of training and playing and yes definately stop making promises about winning versus the US national team on it's soil. The teams that are very defensive and depend only in counterstrike like the US, have always been complicated to our way of playing, with teams that are more open and inclined to attack like Brazil (which Mexico beat at the last America Cup) we perfom much better, the team has got to start playing accordingly each rival. Anyway, of the current coaches in our league my vote goes to the "Tuca" Ferreti.  

@Monibolis: I live in Guadalajara also, what were the odds of meeting in Ifanboy of all places!

I somewhat disagree with you Ron, I like the idea of CSN, part of it's appeal reside in nostalgia, the other part is that I don't check newsarama (or any other Comic news website, for that matter) very often and with CSN I have a chance to catch up with the "recent news". Granted there are times when it goes directly to the recycle bin.

In fact one of my rituals of comic collecting is when CSN prints the monthly checklist and I use it to plan the books I'm going to buy that particular month. I know the dates that are published are not very accurate. but still it's part of the appeal of collecting, kind of the anxiety of going every week to the LCS or posting the pull list in ifanboy.com

I agree with you, due to the Internet the concept of printed news has become "old", because you can have acess to the news almost right away, then again "old" printed newspapers are still selling copies all over the world, the point is that the succesful newspapers distinguish their printed and web editions. CSN should do that, instead of reprinting newsarama's articles, they should review books or make more editorials (spotlights) about writers, inkers, pencillers, etc. And continue to publish the monthly checklist.

I'm torn between Tiny Titans and Walking Dead as the last Comic to read (I always save the last spot for the book I'm most excited about).

YAY TO BEARDS!!!
