Old-school Paul Johnson on Twitter? Even he knows there are non-believers out there.
So he supplied a little proof Wednesday, showing the dry wit those closest to him have come to expect.
For those that don't believe I'm actually tweeting... twitter.com/GTPaulJohnson/…

Johnson joined Monday after hesitating for quite some time about putting his thoughts into 140 characters or less. In fact, his sports information director, Dean Buchan initially set up a Twitter account for him in December 2007, but it stayed dormant.
Two folks finally helped convince him to put down the ink blotter and join -- his daughter, Kaitlyn, a student at Rice, and assistant director of operations Mike Huff. And that has sent bloggers and social media watchers into a tizzy. Johnson has noticed, too, taking to his new Twitter account to joke about one blogger who called him a curmudgeon.
Dry wit, indeed.
But do you want to know a little secret? Johnson has left several ACC coaches back in the Stone Ages.
Jimbo Fisher and Dabo Swinney -- the leaders of the two highest ranked ACC teams in 2012 -- not on Twitter. Let's see anybody out there call those two guys curmudgeons.
We counted only eight ACC coaches with active Twitter accounts.
