As expected, the Pacers trimmed their bloated preseason roster to the league-mandated, 15-man max for the regular season. Larry Bird handed the final three pink slips to former Mississippi State University standout Lawrence Roberts, one-time Syracuse swingman Demetris Nichols and internet-favorite Rod Benson, who will now be able to once again delight Boom Tho fans across the webtubes universe with his blog Too Much Rod Benson after shelving his laptop during the preseason in accordance with an alleged request from Indy’s front office.

The much more important question I’m sure some of you are asking yourself is “What is Boom Tho?” Glad you asked.

Let’s let Rod explain it.

What is Boom Tho?

Defined:

Boom Tho!

adv. 1: an occurance of an uncommonly good thing.
2. an exclaimation or show of excitement.
boom got them tho!
verb. 1a: the self completion of an uncommonly good thing.
1b: the successful act of mating.
boom got them dos!
verb. 1: the exact double of boom got them tho!
2: the completion of a difficult shot attempt on the basketball court.

The more you know.

It’s unfortunate that Rod couldn’t catch on in the NBA. But at least Boom Tho will be back soon.

Josh McRoberts Will Return to Indianapolis
