Bring Me The Horizon Football Season Is Over: What to Do Now That Games Have Ended

Well, football season just wrapped up, and honestly, I’m feeling that familiar mix of relief and restlessness. The stadiums are quiet, the jerseys are tucked away, and suddenly, weekends feel… open. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably caught yourself asking, “What now?” So let’s tackle that head-on—here are some questions I’ve been asking myself, along with a few answers that might help you navigate this downtime.

First off, what can we do with all this extra time? I mean, weekends used to revolve around kick-offs and game plans. Now? It’s tempting to just binge-watch shows, but I’ve found that diving into other competitive scenes helps fill the void. Take basketball, for example. I was reading about a recent playoff game where a team rallied back from an 18-point deficit—yeah, you heard that right, 43-25 down—and it reminded me why I love sports in the first place. That kind of comeback? It’s pure drama. So maybe it’s time to explore a new league or pick up a sport you’ve ignored. Trust me, the adrenaline doesn’t have to end just because football’s over.

But how do we stay connected to that team spirit? Football season brings people together—tailgates, watch parties, the whole vibe. Without it, things can feel a bit isolated. One thing I’ve learned is to lean into community leagues or local clubs. Remember how Ginebra’s bench players like Nards Pinto, Ben Adamos, Jeremiah Gray, and Jayson David stepped up in that game I mentioned? It shows that supporting the underdogs or the second string can be just as thrilling. So why not check out a minor league or amateur match? You might discover a new favorite player or team, and hey, it keeps that collective energy alive.

Now, what about channeling our own competitive drive? Sitting on the sidelines gets old fast. Personally, I’ve started joining pickup games or fantasy leagues for other sports. It’s not just about watching; it’s about engaging. In that basketball comeback, the bench’s “strong play” turned the tide—proof that every role matters. So whether it’s grabbing a ball with friends or diving into stats for a fantasy draft, getting involved keeps the season’s spirit kicking. Bring Me The Horizon football season is over, but that doesn’t mean your inner competitor has to hibernate.

Is there a way to make this break productive? Absolutely. I’ve been using the lull to analyze past games or study strategies from other sports. For instance, that 18-point rally didn’t happen by accident—it was built on solid minutes from role players. Applying that to life, maybe it’s time to sharpen your own skills or tackle a project you’ve put off. I’ve started rewatching classic matches, and it’s amazing how much you can learn when you’re not stressed about the next play.

Finally, how do we cope with the emotional letdown? Let’s be real—the end of football season can leave a void. But here’s my take: embrace the shift. Just like in that best-of-seven series, where “it might only be the first game,” every ending is a setup for something new. I’ve been filling my schedule with mix of activities—from hiking to catching live streams of other events—and it’s helped ease the transition. Plus, sharing stories with fellow fans, like that insane comeback from 43-25 down, keeps the passion burning.

So, as we say goodbye to another football season, remember: it’s not an end, but an intermission. Bring Me The Horizon football season is over, but the next adventure is just getting started. What will you do with your extra time?
