Cignetti's teams punch well above their weight class due to superior development, system and coaching. Franklin's teams are build on traditionally strong talent, but his teams play to their talent level. If he can evolve to get his teams to be greater than the sum of their parts, Franklin has a shot.

| 5 months 2 weeks # | OT: The Homeplace is BAK

I have a question for the mature among us who were at Tech in the late 1970's or early 1980's. The discussion on the Homeplace stirred a latent memory. Maybe my memory is jumbled, but I seem to remember a restaurant that was thought of as a fancier establishment that was in an old farmhouse, similar to the Homeplace (never been there, wasn't aware of it when I was in school). I seem to remember this place being located somewhere on 460, on the west side of the road, between Christiansburg and Tech. I want to say it was between the old Southgate Road campus entrance intersection w/460 and Prices Fork Road, maybe opposite of Smithfield. I remember this place being off the road a bit, but still visible from the road. I could never have afforded this place when I was in school, but as I recall, it was known for its steaks. Have my memory banks had a few 1's and 0's moved around and corrupted the data? Does anyone have a clue about what I'm remembering (or mis-remembering, as the case may be)?
