Summary
It's our final show of 2025, and we wanted to thank our listeners for an amazing year by giving you one more beefed-up ep to close out December. This was undeniably a massive 12-month run for college basketball: for the good, bad and otherwise. How do you whittle everything from almost 365 days down to a top 10 list? Easy: we didn't! Norlander and Parrish each built their own top 10s without the other knowing, and that adds up to more than 10 stories. (We just can't help ourselves.) What do you think is the biggest story of 2025? Which was the biggest moment/story to not make the list? How many countries listened to EOCBB in 2025? What's your favorite pod-related memory from the last 363 days? There's tons to get to! Have a Happy New Year, and if you'd like to send any year-end thoughts about the show, feel free to send us a note: ShoutsToCBS@gmail.com

We actually went out and saw my sister-in-law, they live about 30 minutes from us, and then we're all looking, it gets to be about 5 o'clock, and we're looking at our phones. And it says, oh, the storm that we're talking about that says it's about to hit in about 25 minutes, let's get on the road. We pulled into our driveway and the flakes were just starting to fall.
