Join us in celebrating Independence Day: 12 Months for just $17.76

Starting ClemsonSportsTalk.com was a huge risk. Arguably the biggest risk I've ever taken.

I had the daily radio show, but I needed a central hub for 24-hour coverage of Clemson sports. I had bookmarked several sites that I liked and at the top of my list was TexAgs.com. I reached out to them last summer, and the rest is history.

There was no guarantee that this would work.

I didn't have any experience in this type of business, but I knew with the right pieces in place, we could succeed. There are a lot of options out there for Tiger fans, but I knew that once ClemsonSportsTalk.com was up and running our site would offer the best look and feel of any site covering Clemson, no matter the device.

I was willing to give everything that I had to establish a credible website that avoided clickbait and isn't bloated with advertising that gets in the way of your experience. 

I was also dedicated to making sure that I created an outlet for all Clemson sports on the site, not just football, basketball, and baseball- our News & Notes section has given those other sports a home on the front page.

To say the response has been overwhelming would be an understatement. I can't thank each and every one of you enough, and I wanted to do more.

I want more Tiger fans posting in our forums (by the way, if you are a Clemson graduate you can get a "Grad Tag" to prove it). I want Tiger fans to experience our LIVE chat room during Clemson games. I want more Tiger fans to see the media section and be able to listen to the ad-free podcasts. I want more Tiger fans to be a part of ClemsonSportsTalk.com.

For those who have yet to take the plunge, I wanted to do something special. I wanted to give those of you who haven't joined us an opportunity to step in and become a premium subscriber and reap the rewards of that opportunity.

For four days  - from 7/4 to 7/7, you can get 12 months of ClemsonSportsTalk.com premium for just $17.76.

That's right, during our Independence Day promotional offer, in honor of July 4, 1776, you get 12 months for $17.76.

No, that isn't a misprint, and no, I haven't lost my mind. I wanted to do something to help bring new voices and conversations to our forums.

I wanted to do something out of the ordinary to celebrate our country and all of the incredible Clemson Tiger fans out there who are ready for a new online home.

Some people might say that I've made a mistake. Others may think that we've gone too far with this deal, but I wanted to take a risk and give you a chance to become a member of our site and find out what we have to offer!

Today, we establish our new yearly rate of $63.17, so take advantage of huge savings today with our Independence Day promotion!! 

Happy 4th of July!
