think it started in stovall's era (early 80's)

eta: I think I'm wrong. definitely at least mid-late 80's though

according to some pre-game show I watched Saturday afternoon, the tiger eye didn't show up on the midfield until 2009. I do not know if that is correct but the segment did an interview with the artist that does it for every game. He does it freehand, no stencils. Pretty cool segment and interesting story. I believe it was on CST. They also had commentary with Jacob Hester and other past players. Hawthorn interviewed CLM too.

I remember that it appeared in the early 80's when the song "eye of the tiger" came out. I believe that it was on the field for the 83 season to be exact and was replaced in '84. Probably due to change in coaches and the fact that '83 was such a bad year.
