Absolutely.  More practice time, chance for alumni/fans to travel and congregate, chance for players' families to gather and be supported.

well given the # of tickets we appears to sell for bowl games other than the Rose, Orange, and Fiesta bowl I'm not sure we'd have a large number of alumni/fans congregating.

and I wonder how many players family's prefer to be in places Mobile or Boise than at home with their family over the holidays
