It’s chicken wire, wooden planks ... and Elmer’s glue?
As Hurricane Helene approaches Clemson, Izzy McGrane and the float directors face a dilemma. Do they eliminate mandatory rest hours and accelerate the float build before the storm arrives? Do they stop everyone in their tracks and call it off? Or do they continue building through gale-force winds on Bowman Field?
They only have to look as far as Howard’s Rock to find their answer.
Episode 2 is all about the work: the fastest Homecoming float build in Clemson history, overcoming the odds, adjusting to rapid changes in the weather, and finding a way to uphold this beloved tradition.
This is what giving 110% looks like.
