Neutron Man

The Neutron Man (March 30, 1942 – October 7, 2004[1]), real name Orlas King, was a popular Ohio State Buckeyes fan for over thirty years.He remained the B Deck Dancer until the mid-1980s when the Ohio State Marching Band introduced its rendition of the Pointer Sisters’ “Neutron Dance”.From that point forward, the Neutron Man would dance at every Ohio State home football game during the third quarter break.King eventually began to wear his scarlet and gray beret and his very own Ohio State Buckeyes jersey with “Neutron Man” printed on the back.He helped to raise money for both groups and, being the owner of several restaurants, frequently catered lunches for the students after the marching band and cheerleading tryouts.
