I was at LSU when the eye was put on the field.. Everyone at the time bitched about it worse than toonces


Hopefully because it was off-center for the first few years.

And yet despite Tigers being one of the most common mascot names in all of sports, no one else came up with it. When you do something that no one else has done, we call that "creative".

Very well put. When the eye first appeared, it was definitely cheesy and not frat but the Dalton and James gang were running roughshod over opponents, MTV was really taking off, and having a silly midfield logo for a few games didn't seem like such a big deal.

It would be like creating something related to Gangnam Style or Call Me Maybe today. At least eye of the tiger meant something prior to the cheesey song, but the logo was created because of the song.

Still the most unique and creative mid-field design in all of college football IMO.
