Best of Clemson SI: Relive Unforgettable Tiger Stories from 2020

Thank you for supporting AllClemson.com and our daily coverage of the Clemson Tigers in what's been a challenging and demanding 2020.

It's been a year we'll never forget, and not just for negative reasons.

Because of you, our loyal readers, AllClemson.com grew at an incredible rate and made this a successful 2020 despite a pandemic that cut short several Tiger sports and nearly gave us a football-less fall. 

But here we all are, getting ready to see No. 2 Clemson take on No. 3 Ohio State next week in the College Football Playoff semifinal Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Both the Clemson men's and women's basketball teams are off to fantastic starts. Monte Lee and the baseball team will be getting revved up when they return from Christmas break. 

A better year is on the horizon, and no matter the challenges, no matter the concerns, you stuck with us all year, and we did everything we could to bring you the best Clemson coverage possible. 

We thank each and every one of you, and the entire staff here at Clemson SI wishes you and your family a Merry Christmas!

We also hope that you'll take some time during this holiday weekend to browse through what we believe are some of our best stories from 2020. We told it the only way we know how, with honesty, perspective and maybe a little controversy here and there. 

So sit back and enjoy reliving these unforgettable Clemson memories through our words. 

Thank you,

-Clemson Sports Illustrated staff and our families
