re: McIllece Sports has VOLS #1 on their preseason top 25

Bob Shoop could end up being one of the best off-season hires. Vols should have enough offense to compliment the defense. Our conference will have 6 elite defenses next year.

Now this I agree with although I'm sure most will ignore the chance to turn this thread into productive conversation. Shoop and Aranda were home run hires, imo and I do think the SEC is going to have some brutal defenses this season, even moreso than usual.
