Clemson fans will be celebrating on Saturday for the National Champions parade in Clemson S.C. but there is another reason that it will be a special day.

Governor Nikki Haley has proclaimed 'Clemson Tigers National Football Champions Day throughout the state of South Carolina on Saturday, January 14, 207.

The Governor's proclamation "encourages all South Carolinians to join together in congratulating the Clemson Tigers football team and coaches for their awesome performance during the 2016 season and the 2017 College Football Playoff National Championship."
