He told me don't tell your Mom. The players were awesome and I got a couple footballs, jersey's, photos with the players etc. Well when we got home it took me but a couple minutes to tell Mom and show her all the stuff I got. Haha.<br /><br />After that my Dad gave me a "little talk" and explained to me how Omerta works!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-90153224518645724612015-05-05T13:09:40.731-07:002015-05-05T13:09:40.731-07:00Hubbard, like his teammate and eventual successor ...Hubbard, like his teammate and eventual successor Mark van Eeghen, went to Colgate.

Lived hard, played hard; talked a good game, and could back it up with tenacity. <br /><br />Loved the old story where, in Santa Rosa, Hubbard had a few and bet that he could dive into a shot glass. Like everything else he did, he gave it his best effort! Fun guy, but when riled he could trash a room with the best of 'em. He, behind "Highway 63," trashed a lot of defenders in their day!<br /><br />Trivia: some old Raider fans will remember that Hubbard actually wore number 39 during his rookie season.<br /><br />'Ol 44, Marv Hubbard. Tough guy, tough player, great fullback, badass. RIP. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-90657637681891293482015-05-05T11:57:05.486-07:002015-05-05T11:57:05.486-07:00I could name more Raiders on the 1970 team then I ...I could name more Raiders on the 1970 team then I can right now's team.
