I went to college with a guy that climbed up on the roof with a buddy of his and stole the bear. Eventually the cops found him and he had to do some community service.

Yeah. Can’t count the number of times when I was a kid that the bear was stolen and restored. Every college kid in Worcester must have stolen it at some point.

I wonder how many of these guys got up on the roof and were shocked at how much bigger than bear is close up, versus how big it looks when you're driving past it on 290.

Does anybody know why Orson is sometimes deflated? I've noticed it several times, during both good weather and bad weather.

Orson is one of the oldest mascots still in use from the early 1900s. Mostly because its not outdated yet.
