Tacopants?

Ok I can't take it anymore. I guess I am relatively new to this blog and I no longer live in Michigan so please forgive me here. What the hell is this Taco Pants thing? I have absolutely no clue what it means or who it is about but I didn't want to say anything because I feared I would be attacked by everyone on here. He comes up at least once a day on this blog and I still can't figure it out. I figured I would wait it out and use context clues and eventually I would find the identity of this illusive fella.

Clearly I have had no luck. Can someone clear this up for me before I lose my mind?

He's Jason Avant's 11ft invisible best friend that followed him all around the field. Henne's favorite target.

In reading that ol' post, I was amused by this bullet near the bottom of the page.

Until Carlos Brown's touchdown explosion, I was convinced we were going to suuuuuck at running back next year. Minor hasn't made a yard the offensive line didn't get for him all year save for his spectacular truck job on a Notre Dame safety; Brown had spent most of his time either fumbling or running directly into the backs of his offensive linemen. Both have been disadvantaged by the mop-up situations they find themselves in, but McGuffie will have a major opportunity, IMO.

Funny how things turn out sometimes.

Was Tacopants enrolled when John Navarre was quarterback as well? I guess if he's Avant's best invisible friend, that would make sense. Or if you watched some of the balls thrown by John.

And why not leave and join him with the Eagles. Oh, that's right, McNabb doesn't overthrown that often, that bad.

Using the term Wildcat to describe a direct snap to anyone other than a QB is like calling any rock band from the early 90s Grunge.

Tacopants played sparingly in his early years with Navarre under center.. but he only started to figured prominently in the offense during Henne's freshman and sophomore years.

Actually, while Tacopants was enrolled during Navarre's time here, he was either redshirted or buried in the depth chart.

In his stead, we had Gaston, a one foot tall receiver that generally shadowed our tight ends or slot receivers. Navarre, being like 7'3", enjoyed targeting him because he could just keep his throws low, which often resulted in them being tipped at the LoS.

I'd forgotten that TacoPants earned the #1 jersey at one point. He was certainly the go-to guy, and IIRC he led the team in receptions in '04 and '05.

Tacopants was clearly the young Ryan Mallett's go-to receiver that year. He wasn't quite on the same page with Henne that year, though, for some reason. He had a really quiet bowl game against Florida.

Mallett also enjoyed fooling around with his sister, Tacoskirt. And I don't mean that in just the RYAN MALLETT LOVES SLUTS type way, which he obviously did as well. But he threw footballs to her 1'6" frame plenty, too.

Mallett also loved to call the quick-hitter play to TP's brother Tacosocks, Mike Hart's imaginary tailback friend. Who can forget that trick play we ran against State where Tacosocks took the handoff, then lateraled it to Hart, who ran for the first down?

I was completely unaware that the mysterious Tacopants had ever been photographed. I mean, be careful what you put out there our you'll have crazies lined up on your post waiting to verify the claim and whatnot. Also, it's probably best to hide your porcelain cast of Tacopants' footprint while you still have the time.
