  Georgia Tech running back Dontae Smith is not immune to venturing into the den of the unwashed - perusing Twitter to read users' comments about his football team. "I do see what they say, and I do take it into account," Smith said. "And I'm so ready to prove everybody wrong." After three consecutive three-win seasons, frustration is high within the Yellow Jackets fan base, and expressions of that animus - mostly with coach Geoff Collins - are perhaps most unshackled in the social-media sphere of Twitter.

It was revealed, too, in the home attendance (lowest since 1989) and in the sea of red that was the backdrop for Tech's final home game last season against Georgia. "I mean, obviously, there's going to be a lot of negativity when you have the past three seasons we have," tight end Dylan Leonard said. "When you have three wins (each) the past three seasons, you don't blame them. Crowds are going to show up when you're good, and they're not going to be there much when you're not doing as well. We realize that. I'm not stuck up about it or anything like that. I think that's with every fan base and every Twitter fan base you go to." But, as is perhaps the case with every team that is counting down the days to the start of the preseason, the Jackets believe better days are ahead this season. Leonard, Smith and cornerback Zamari Walton all shared different reasons for their belief at the ACC Kickoff media event Thursday in Charlotte, N.C. "I definitely feel like it's our time," Walton said. "Definitely why not Georgia Tech?" - Atlanta Journal Constitution
