UH Football "Centurions" / Dustin Blount Q&A

Tomorrow, the Star-Bulletin will begin a countdown of the 100 greatest players in UH football history.

We're calling it "The Centurions." The 100 greatest players, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of University of Hawaii football.

Starting tomorrow we count them down, with photos and stories recounting the stars, from the Wonder Teams of the 1920s through the Dream Season of the Sugar Bowl.

A panel of media — some linked with UH football back to the 1950s — ranked them, in consultation with every head coach of the past 35 years, except for one.

Five will be revealed each day from tomorrow to the end of June, and then each of the top 30 gets his own day and profile by a Star-Bulletin or guest writer. The running list will be posted online, on a Web page where readers can comment on each selection.

It's six weeks until the start of fall camp, but there will be a daily dose of UH football history every day in the Star-Bulletin.

That's pretty sweet.

And Stephen Tsai has a Warrior Beat Q&A with receiver Dustin Blount. Here's a couple of excerpts:

His last name is pronounced Blunt.
"That's what it is."

The story behind the goatee:
"When I take off my helmet, the girls can go, "oooh."

He answers to Da Bizzness and Agent 6.
"That's my jersey number. They gave me 28 when I got out here (last summer). I went with it. I wasn't going to say anything. I was a newcomer, and (quarterback) Tyler Graunke was here longer than me. He deserved it. He was a senior. I didn't play that year, so I wasn't really trippin'. When the season ended, I went to coach's office and asked for No. 6."
