Rolo makes way for Mo’s seventh touchdown

University of Hawaii offensive coordinator Nick Rolovich made the right call Saturday night by letting quarterback Bryant Moniz go back into the game to try for one more touchdown during the first half of the Warriors’ game against University of California at Davis.

Moniz had already racked up six, a number he’d achieved during the first half of a game last season as well. But last year Rolovich held Moniz back after those six passing touchdowns, allegedly so he could recall the red-hot quarterback in the second half to go for the school record of eight touchdown passes for a game. Some fans were upset by that, believing Moniz could have thrown for seven in the first half alone, which would have broken the UH record for most touchdowns in a half — a record earned by Rolovich in 2001.

Rolovich apparently was hurt that some fans would think he had allowed "selfish reasons" to cloud his judgment, so this time he kept Moniz in the game. "I’m not really a stat guy, but I didn’t want even one person thinking that about me," he told the Star-Advertiser after Saturday’s game. "Mo is worthy of the record. I wanted him to get it."

And so it was to be. Final score: 56-14, with all but the last of UH’s eight passing touchdowns achieved in the first half. Way to go, Mo, and Rolo.

You call that naked?

Eyebrows were raised recently when Jamie and Tess Meier, a Maui couple, held a brief topless protest in Waikiki to mark National Go Topless Day on Aug. 21. Police quickly swooped in, citing the couple for failing to get a public-gathering permit. Perhaps that’s because going topless isn’t against Hawaii law. Shocked?

Well then, don’t go to San Francisco. Not only is it legal to walk around buck naked in public, but people (mostly men, apparently) actually do. A proposed city ordinance would require nudists to sit on a towel in public places and to stay out of restaurants. Seems like that’s the least they could do.
