No official/announcer can say their name or Evernote reference their location (eg. Say hello to the recruits over there...), but students and fans can do whatever they want, so get a cheer going with his name and its ok.

The obvious imbroglio here is that our young Mr. Robert Nkemdiche, who is formally known in these parts as Numero Uno, has either intentionally or without his very own knowledge left us a bit of a riddle with his rather perplexing lack of punctuation in this concise yet rather ambiguous tweet.
You see, my friend, his message could be conveying two vastly different meanings, both of which rely heavily on the use of that which we call the comma, the colon and the period.
In example one, we have the following placement of a colon, along with a period, then followed by a comma:
Florida fans: like them. Gainesville, what up !
In the above example, Numero Uno is informing the general public that he likes Florida fans, while also giving a distinct shout out to the city commonly referred to as TitleTown. This, you see, is quite a positive sign for Florida football recruiting.
In example two, we have the following placement of a single comma, which rather drastically alters the meaning of Numero Uno's rather public declaration of opinion.
Florida fans like them Gainesville, what up !
In the above example, Numero Uno is postulating that Florida fans indeed like the city of Gainesville very much -- a concept that makes sense given the heretofore referenced title the fans have bestowed up on the city, that being Titletown. And indeed, his declaration of this such opinion brings Numero Uno to the exclamatory remark that can obfuscate the meaning of the exclamation mark he has placed behind it. Is he suggesting surprise that Florida fans like them Gainesville? Or is he rather forcefully demanding an explanation why?
That, my friends, is the conundrum we find ourselves facing today in a world of ever-decreasing use of punctuation.
And it leads me to stress, rather forcefully, the power of the correct usage of punctuation.
