Cory, Dan and Martin will take us behind the scenes to share what it was really like to serve as one of Clemson’s most recognizable ambassadors. From game day traditions and unforgettable moments in Death Valley to the preparation, discipline, and pride that come with wearing the Tiger suit, they will offer a unique perspective on one of Clemson’s most iconic roles.
