I have a couple of questions. Is anyone here impressed with the coaches' shirts/jackets this year? (See photo below) The patch pocket on the sleeve in a contrasting color by Nike isn't really doing it for me. And, what's the weather for Gainesville tomorrow at noon? Hot? Rain? I guess it won't matter because both teams are probably used to the Florida heat.
