Yes, we launched the network two years ago today. I want to thank everyone for being a part of the site and the network. Also, I wanted to share this post with you that Shannon made on the Blue Board earlier today. It's is worth your time, IMO.
Thanks again!

A huge Thank You to the 247Sports family -- 2 years together!

I reflect back to the week we launched 247Sports and all the excitement that surrounded our company’s entry into the digital college sports

Thanks again!

It's not always the number of years in any endeavor but the quality of effort and product. You guys should be very proud for your 'reinvention' of an existing product. That's not the easiest thing to accomplish and you guys have done it in a dynamic and impressive way. Only great leadership, vision and dedication can accomplish what you and every employee at 247 have done. It is reflected in your product from the CEO to the posters. HEAR!HEAR!
